Steermouse vs usb overdrive mac#
In my subjective opinion, the Mac curve provides a better balance between quick long-distance movement and short-distance precision than does the Windows curve. There is no good solution to this but a willingness to practice and acclimatize. This doesn't work out so hot either, because they then have no short-distance precision to speak of. Of course, most Windows users I know who sit down in front of a Mac immediately jack the sensitivity way up in order to more closely approximate their accustomed long-distance mousing speed. I crank the sensitivity down on Windows to compensate for this, but it's never perfect. That's because, on a Mac, to move a long distance you move the mouse a lot faster than you would to move a short distance this doesn't work out so hot on Windows. My Mac-trained muscles overshoot everything on such a setup. Every Windows computer I've ever used has had the sensitivity jacked through the roof, in order to provide quick long-distance movement at (IMHO) the expense of short-distance precision. In my empirical, not-backed-up-by-actual-knowledge-of-the-acceleration-curves experience, Windows has a flatter acceleration curve than the Mac. God, why do people in these threads still insist opinion is fact? But the mouse speed and acceleration range is just STUPID and USELESS (I didn't say that before, did I). If it's getting too hard I use some tools to change modifier key etc.

And don't care what other people say to justify this STUPID AND USELESS OS X settings.īy the way, I can accept there are different standards in Win and OS X, and I'm getting used to it although I'm using a PC 12 hours a day and a Mac another 2 hours or so. So don't bother playing around with the settings but get USB Overdrive or Speedmouse (which I prefer) and consider this another Apple tax. So NO, this is NOT a question of getting used to it. My desk is not large enough to allow moving the mouse from the left to the right with OS X standard settings. And, I still need a football field to be able to click the user picture on the login screen where I CANNOT adjust the setting.
I know I can adjust the setting but (although I don't require a really fast setting) whatever you do it's NO WAY fast enough. I know preferences are different, but 30 cm or 12 inch just to move the mouse from the left to the right of an iMac 1680px screen is totally STUPID!! If it's really jerky it could be a hardware problem (wireless)?ĭifferent?!? STUPID and USELESS would be the word for OS X. I find Windows too aggressive, Mac should be a bit "slower".
