[QUOTE="toscaesque, post: 16695"] Hi all. I've been using PCs for the past 17 years, and I'm about to become the proud owner of my first Apple computer (a suped-up 15" Powerbook, aw yeah). Unfortunately, though I've used Macs at work and school for a while now, one thing I still can't get used to is the fact that Apple's mouse cursors are speed sensitive (ie the faster you move the mouse, the farther the cursor moves on the screen). In Windows, there is a flat ratio between the distance you move the mouse and the distance the cursor moves. So, if you move your mouse an inch on a PC, the cursor will move (depending on your mouse sensitivity) say, four inches on the screen, no matter how fast you move it. Is there any way to make an OSX mouse act more like a Windows mouse? There isn't anything in the system preferences that'll help; adjusting the mouse sensitivity doesn't fix the problem. Is there a program out there that can adjust or negate the speed/distance relationship? [/QUOTE]
