Greatest solution that I've found so far! I have an apple mouse and only annoyed while gaming. I could set the system pref like yours, and increase tracking speed in game

L337... YOU ARE THE MAN!!

After using SL for almost a year (having tried several solutions... also broken 2 mice from getting crazy!) I started searching the net for a final solution.
After searching and searching I fell upon you (god bless you!). The funny thing is that if you think about it it sounds logical. What more natural than downloading the drivers for the mouse? but it seems that all of us were searching for a solution within the Operating System. After all OSX shouldn't have this problem...
Downloading the drivers for my MS optical mouse saved my life! Thanks again man! You ROCK!

Thanks....this method was created out of necessity when I bought my first mac. The mac scrolling drove me crazy. Thank goodness it's fixed.

Thanks so much for this. I have been pulling my hair out trying various apps/terminal commands -- when your solution is so simple and works better than any of them. Legend.

Thanks! Works great. Minor tweaks needed to the directions for "Snow Leopard", but not too hard to figure out.

Another annoyance with "Snow Leopard" is the inverted action of the mouse scroll wheel. I found a program (by MacUpdate) to reverse the action, so that's fixed. But I wish this setting was directly controllable with "System Preferences" Mouse settings.

Seems as strange as the "command" key being used instead of the "control" key, or why the "delete" key doesn't work like a PC (or at least where is the function of the PC key "delete"?) I dunno, seems like we users are caught in some mega corporate battle between self-styled Titans.

I'm not about to get into an argument as to whether Mac or Windows mice feel better, but personally as a motion graphics and 3D artist, I need precision... On windows I never, ever miss the mark... I can select 1px vertices instinctively... On Mac, I've been using a Wacom tablet for the last 2 years as I could never get used to the Mac mouse settings, no matter what I tried... I'm going to give this a go when I get home and fingers crossed it works :)

Thanks a lot, man! I've just got my first mac and have been really satisfied so far, EXEPT with this little mouse thing! Now everything runs smoothly. Thanks again, really appreciate you sharing your hints!

Good advice. Setting Apple tracking speed in the middle, and then Microsoft Mouse IntelliPoint pointer speed to fastest works smoothly across 2 monitors. No more herky jerky movements :)

This won't work if you're using an Apple mouse such as Magic Mouse. For that I use Magic Driver (http://plentycom.jp/en/magi... which gives me adjustment for tracking speed and sensitivity, the only thing I've found that works. If you like Magic Driver write to the developers because they are seriously considering stopping development and letting the current beta expire in April!

What is the advantage of this mouse from an ordinary mouse?

God bless you! Thank you, man, I just downloaded drivers for my Microsoft Intelli Mouse and now have an ability to use back/forward button in finder and acceleration.

The other way round? never heard anyone say that they want a Windows mouse to feel like a Mac?

Have you tried smearing your desk in treacle?

How about the other way around? The Mac acceleration routine feels more natural to me. I hate the windows acceleration routines. Is there a way to make my Windows machines feel more like the Mac? I use Synergy with one mouse/keyboard to operate both my machines.

I love you. I've been looking for years trying to get this right. I used iMouseFix, Steermouse, and a couple freebies but none of them quite did the trick. Steermouse came close, but was making my cursor jump around ever so subtly and was driving me nuts, plus it would quit after a short amount of time, and I'd have to reconnect it. This is just perfect - it feels just right, very smooth and no poorly-written 3rd party crap. BEAUTIFUL.

Thanks for a nice explanation. A mouse is such a simple device but it has also its secrets. I like Apple a lot. I've seen a documentary about the development of this company (I found it at rapidshare SE http://rapidpedia.com )and since that time I usually buy Apple products. I can be sure in their quality.

I think you could be right mate. So far it does feel better, it just feels free if you know what I mean.
