Hello, I did a search, but I wasn't sure what it is called, so I obviously didn't find any threads about this.

But anyways, I have an origional bluetooth apple mouse (single click), and I love it, works great.. all accept for one thing.


the auto slow feature, bugs the crap out of me. (or auto-fast, whatver it is called) where when you move the mouse quickly, the mouse moves quickly, but when you move the mouse slowly, over the same amount of space, the mouse moves very slowly and doesn't come anywhere near where it went when you moved quickly.

what is this called? how the crap do you turn it off? I thought I would get used to it, but I can't. I move the mouse fairly quickly getting somewhere, but like a normal person I slow down to compensate the speed and become more accurate... I assume how fast the mouse is going, and cut that down so that I'm moving slow enough to get to where I am going.

But, the stupid program sense that I am moving the mouse slower than I was, so it cuts the speed of the mouse in half of what it was. So in the end, i do not make it to where i'm going, and end up very slowly easing my way towards where I was aming, making it take many times longer to get there.


Is there anyway to turn that off and make the dumb mouse stay at a constant speed so I can use comon sense and adjust my speed by myself and get to where I'm going the way I wanted too .

thanks

Try a search with the key words: mouse acceleration

It's an OS X feature. There are 3rd party utilities to change it. Or you could try and adjust to it and see if you like it.
