To turn it off, you will need to use the command line. Unfortunately you can not turn mouse acceleration off in your System Preferences. I will explain later, why this is not the only thing we need to do. This tool is free and works for pretty much all mouses and is provded by SteelSeries, to make sure that their mouses (and fortunately almost any other mouse) work as intended on macOS systems.įirst of all, we want to disable mouse acceleration. Prerequisites: If you want the best result with any third party mouse, you will additionally have to download a small tool, provided by SteelSeries (a trusted peripheral manufacturer). And not 20 cm, just because you moved your mouse slightly faster this time. If you move your mouse 2 centimeters (no matter the speed) it should always travel for example 15 cm on your screen. It often is (speaking for professionals) unwanted behaviour and absolutely unacceptble for gamers who rely on muscle memory and immediate precision. That is, because it messes with your muscle memory and makes it harder to predict, where the mouse cursor will end up on your screen, when travelling bigger distances. Generally speaking, the downsides overweigh. This behaviour aims to make it easier, to move further distances (on smaller surfaces), while allowing for precision, when it is needed. Mouse acceleration means: the faster you move the mouse, the bigger the distance travelled. This behaviour (which is mostly caused by the heavy mouse acceleration on mac systems) can't be turned off in the System Preferences.
Many people struggle with the mouse behaviour on mac Operating Systems.
Tl:dr (" too long didn't read") version of this, can be found at the end of the post.
