Hello,

Is there anyway to configure the mouse not to vary the speed the cursor moves depending on whether I move my mouse fast or slow? I guess this may be a built in feature of OS X. I would like to have constant rate of cursor movement no matter how fast I move my mouse.

I am using a Logitech MX 500, and I did not install the logitech drivers because I couldn't get Expose to map to the buttons after installing the Logitech Control Center.

Thanks!

Alex Guo

Theres iMouseFix, which is free, but I havent been able to get it to how I like it with that.

The two programs Ive used that work best are SteerMouse, and USBOverdrive.

It seems to depend on your mouse which one works best, they both have free trials so you can find out which one works for you.
