Jman215 Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 How do I smooth the mouse movement in 10.4.1? I tried making it slower but it doesn't work! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8063-smoothing-mouse/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templeton Peck Posted January 29, 2006 Share Posted January 29, 2006 I noticed that problem too. When I ran Panther on my Mac mini, the Microsoft Mouse driver fixed the problem, but it doesn't seem to work in Tiger. It technically works, but it doesn't fix the jumpiness. However, there is a solution. At first I thought I was going crazy. Instead of smooth linear acceleration like in Windows, OS X uses some wierd stair-step curve. I remember somebody posting about this problem in another forum and nobody knew what the dude was talking about. This "problem" affects all machines running OS X, it's just that not everybody notices it. Personally I've gotten used to it, but if it's driving you nuts, the link above will hopefully help out. On a side note, I think Apple made it like this intentionally, probably to suit the needs of graphic artists, giving them more contorol over pixel-by-pixel movement, but more speed when moving to a different general area. Either that, or Apple just botched the mouse driver. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8063-smoothing-mouse/#findComment-50176 Share on other sites More sharing options...
r3volution11 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Any good sturdy fixes for this yet? I've tried USB overdrive and it just isn't right. Any way to use the microsoft driver with a non-microsoft mouse? I'm a designer and find the movement highly annoying.
