If that doesn't work at all or gives you funny results, you can undo/overwrite these changes you made in Terminal by simply going to Mouse preferences and changing the tracking speed there.Įdit: Have you tried enabling/disabling 'Raw Input' in Mouse Settings in HL2 options? IIRC you have log out and log in again for it to take effect. There's another method that may work: Open Terminal.app and type or paste: Perhaps the free version is just a trial. There's a free and a paid version (3$ or so) don't know what's the difference between those two. However, when having third party mouse drivers installed, it's known to sometimes result in even worse behaviour. SmoothMouse is a little freeware tool that usually gives pretty good results. However, there are a couple of tools that can fix this by completely disabling mouse acceleration. OS X uses pretty weird mouse acceleration which can become really noticeable (and/or annoying) when using non-Apple mice or in games - especially in games that don't run in native resolution. I tried several things over the years as it was always frustrating adjusting to mice on mac and most of the time I'd just end up using the trackpad and it really slowed me down. There's a lot of crap in all of these that you won't want to use, but if you get this set up you'll feel like you can't live without it. BetterTouchTool This application allows me to set Button 3 to Page Back and Button 4 to Page Forward. Mouse Buttons: Since my mouse's default drivers are pretty crappy on Mac (and on Windows for that matter) I needed something to customize my side buttons. Smart Scroll I use this with 3.2x Faster scroll speed with a 3x multiplier when I hold command while scrolling. This is a paid application and has many features that I completely ignore, but it does exactly what I need and the guy who makes it is very responsive if it has any issues. Mouse Scrolling (if using scroll wheel mice, not magic mouse): Scrolling is atrocious for scroll wheels on Mac. I switch over my Razer Deathadder mouse for work. I am a die hard gamer but work on a Mac, so trying to adjust back and forth can throw me off my game. In regards to the mouse acceleration: I use a combination of 3 programs to make my mouse behave like Windows. There's different commands to do this if you do a little google fu. You'll need to logout and log back in for changes to take effect.ĭefaults write. (I know that working with the terminal can be equally dangerous than running 3rd party software for people who don't know what they're doing but it would still be my prefered option.)ĭefaults write. If you're just interested in a few games here and there and you really really dislike mouse acc I'd suggest these terminal commands before & after your gaming session instead to toggle mouse acc. To be honest, most other third party mouse softwares look sketchy and or shitty and I doubt that most of them even work or have been updated in the last 5 years. sucks for a lot of games, and there's no "best easy solution" to it anymore ever since Smoothmouse isn't getting any new updates. You're not completetly wrong though, mouse acc. I guess people are downvoting you because you suggest a third party software download (which is how tons and tons of people manage to fuck up their brand new macs in mere weeks) to fix a problem that will only affect him if he's interested in pretty competitive gaming.
