Yet any use of Ubuntu or Windows felt jarring, then and We've had similar experiences. Got a link? I've been using OS X daily since before Panther and well after Lion ( 2011's version) with both mice and trackpads, and I have noticed no difference.

If you spend a decade how to cope with a broken system, and then you’re suddenly confronted with something that works properly, it’s often a difficult adjustment.

mouse movement mapped linearly to screen movement).įor the people who dislike Mac mouse acceleration: I suggest it mostly has to do with what you’re used to. I have only used Windows machines a handful of times in the last few years, but I found the mouse acceleration to be pretty bad, except in one case where the mouse was very high precision (like 2000 counts/inch or something, I don’t precisely remember) and the acceleration was disabled (i.e. I was often tempted to take a hammer to the trackpad. I always used to find using a mouse on Windows to be an incredibly frustrating experience, and even worse was trying to use windows laptop trackpads circa 2000. Windows didn’t have any acceleration all until fairly recently, I believe, but I’m not an expert. On the other hand, with very high precision mice (>1000 counts per inch) and very large / pixel dense displays, I find linear (no acceleration) mice to also work pretty well.
I find the Mac mouse acceleration to be the best implementation I’ve yet found for low-to-medium precision mice, and likewise for every trackpad/trackball I’ve ever tried. ¹ I think - the mouse does not have a human-readable model number printed on it nor does it say anything useful about itself to the Mac What's the general consensus here about whether Apple or Microsoft are more in tune with how their customers operate mice? Being lazy, I move the mouse solely with my wrist in a claw grip, whereas if you move your whole arm you don't need anywhere near as much a speed boost. This depends in part on how lazy you are. Obviously everyone's mileage varies, and someone here has already said that he doesn't like acceleration and turns it off entirely. I have no idea why people can't standardise on what speed the mouse reports back to the computer, since it's not as though the MS Comfort Mouse 4500 is marketed as the "Crazy mouse for people too dim to find the cursor speed slider".) (I do struggle a little bit, possibly owing to the hyper acceleration needed with Microsoft's own lumbering lummox mice their Comfort Mouse 4500 though was fed steroids as that's way too far in the opposite direction - a falling speck of dust landing on it will move the cursor halfway across the screen. For me, Windows succeeds perfectly in giving me good "swing" around a large desktop (3200×1200 at work) yet retaining very intuitive low speed tracking. I've always found Macintosh pointer acceleration to be slow and unhelpful, while Windows pointer acceleration always seems natural no matter what version of Windows it is and no matter what mouse anyone has. I have enhanced pointer precision turned on, whatever that does. In Windows, I have a Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical 1.1 with the tracking speed at notch 10 (of 11!) as the IMO has very sluggish tracking compared to most mice (equivalent to notch 4 or 5 of anything else). The mouse is a Logitech Laser MX200¹ and I have the tracking speed on notch 7 (of 10). Every time I start using it, I struggle with moving the mouse accurately for a while, as it seems to swing between "glued" to "on drugs". I still use a Macintosh running Tiger, and one of the things I notice about it is just how awkward and finicky its mouse cursor acceleration profiles are.
