But same is true for a Mac user switching to Win. Some Win users switching to a Mac might find this maddening as their muscles and motor skills are used to something different. On Win machines a bit of this kind of acceleration also exists but it is not nearly as pronounced as it is in OS X. Mac by default implements it so that slow hand movement maps to a very slow cursor movement (for precise targeting), and a relatively fast hand movement maps to a very fast cursor movement (for moving quickly in a general direction but without fine-level accuracy). I think you're simply experiencing the effect of different mouse acceleration algorithms between different operating systems.Īs the physical hand/mouse movement cannot practically be mapped 1:1 to the cursor movement (you'd need a trackpad as big as the screen!), some kind of mapping algorithm between the hand movement and cursor movement is necessary. I'll also rule out the silly possibility that you are using all those mouses on a sub-optimal surface, like glass or uneven and rough wood, etc. It seems like what you are referring to is not a problem with your mouse (as you've tried several). What is happening? Do you know how may I solve this issue?

I have also tried 3 other mouses, one wireless Logitech Mac OS compatible, one wired Microsoft and one wired Trust: all have the same problem.

I had tried many settings into the mouse control panel but it does not change anything on this problem. Same problem to put the cursor beetween 2 letters on a text to make a precise selection, and other similar things. It's hard to reach the cross, like if the mouse was suddenly 2 times slower.

It seems to slow down, as if it had missed some move instructions, as if it was responding only one on two impulsions.įor example, when I try to catch the cross to close a window, I have no difficulties to reach the cross area, but to put the mouse exactly on it to close the window, it's as if I were moving the mouse on a badly responding surface. On my Mac, when I move the mouse, it seems to do what I want on large moves, but on little moves the cursor does not respond as well as on the PC. No matter if the move is large or small, the cursor goes exactly where I send it. On my PC, when I move the mouse, the movement is smooth, and follow my hand moves.

I have a Logitech optical USB wheel mouse I've used for years on my PC (Windows 95, 98, XP, Vista, 7): I'm now using it on a Mac mini with Mac OS X Snow Leopard (fully updated), but I have a problem with it.
