I have no complaints about the acceleration and tracking with the trackpad. I can get this feature from a $200 netbook on windows running vista a 8 year old operating system and your telling me that if apple were to implement this they would have to implement all requests and the os would become bloated or bloatware? If these 3rd party devs or all these console commands don't do the trick then how can it be as simple or unimportant as you claim. I have tried numerous console commands, yet they fail. I have purchased 2, 3rd party applications that are suposed to do this yet they fail. All i need is the option to disable mouse acceleration. It doesn't seem to have anything else working, at least that I could find. Although it is supposed to be a 32/64 bit binary, it appears to run only in 32 bit mode on my iMac, does not offer anything besides a slider for "Mouse" & one for "Trackpad" plus a checkbox to enable the settings at login. Without some kind of override or reset it could be very difficult to undo this so I advise against creating radical curves until you get a feel for what it can do.ĮDIT: I just tried downloading the available 1.1 version & using it with Snow Leopard. Maybe that will make it more successful, although at this point in its development is hard to say how well that works because there are so few comments about it.Īssuming it does provide the same range of customization as the old Kensington driver, one thing to keep in mind if you try the beta is that jagged curves that go both up & down can make the pointer almost impossible to position correctly. The Mouse Curve app looks a lot like it can do what the old Kensington option did, but with a graphics interface for adjusting custom curves instead of the very hard to use numeric table Kensington opted for. It is interesting to note the comment on the Mouse Curve page about the "highly successful" petition to Apple, which has only 1002 signatures to date & just requests "a checkbox added to the mouse preference panel that allows us to turn off mouse acceleration." That is not what most users unhappy with Apple's curves are requesting, so it is hard to say if that is responsible for the small number of signatures.
