I swear to you, that my 2017 iMac with Catalina has the same Windows-like mouse acceleration from years ago when SmoothMouse was still a thing. Its free and imho makes mouse use in OS X actually pleasant. He insists that, due to the way Windows mouse acceleration works, it can't even be replicated by special tools like SteerMouse or CursorSense.Īnd yet. If you use a mouse with OS X download SmoothMouse right now. The developer of SmoothMouse insists that it isn't easy to apply Windows-like acceleration without a tool like SmoothMouse constantly running. If SmoothMouse doesn't need to be physically present on the Mac in order for Windows-like mouse acceleration, then where is the mouse acceleration being handled and how can I port it from one Mac to another?
DOWNLOAD SMOOTHMOUSE SOFTWARE
I don't have any other mouse-affecting software on my iMac 2017. Yet the settings in System Preferences were identical across both machines. I got a 2020 iMac this week and the mouse felt totally different. Then macOS updates came along and killed the program, so I removed it from my Mac.īut I swear to you, the Windows-like acceleration remained.
I installed the tool on my 2017 iMac and it worked great. The main benefit of this tool besides killing mouse acceleration on macOS and resolving a lag issue, is the ability to choose to have mouse acceleration behave 'l ike on Windows'. If you use a PS/2 mouse the following tweak will give you smoother mouse movement, which is also great for gaming.
Some of you may remember a tool many years ago called SmoothMouse. Posted in Windows XP by Community Submission.
