[QUOTE="Osiris22x, post: 29354, member: 3542"] Witeshark, as you undoubtedly are aware (as ALL Mac users are aware), there is no option to turn off acceleration by default in Mac OS. Perhaps you misunderstood his question, but going to the system preferences isn't going to help him in the least. By default, PCs (read: Windows) doesn't use acceleration, so us PC users are all very used to a linear mouse speed. It's incredibly annoying to come over to a Mac and have to get used to a new type of mouse feel. Anyway, I've got an Intellipoint mouse, and Microsoft wrote some [poopie] drivers for it, that allow me to turn off the acceleration. If the maker of your mouse doesn't have such a thing, I'd have to say you're out of luck. There IS a system preference that can be set to either 1 or 0 that turns this on and off, but thus far I have never found a program that takes advantage of it. [/QUOTE]
