I’m planning to try USB Overdrive, although its name would seem to indicate that it might not be appropriate for mice and trackpads connected through Bluetooth. Disconnecting and reconnecting your Logitech mouse to your M1 or M2 Mac is another way to fix a laggy Bluetooth connection. The trackpad’s speed doesn’t appear to be very adjustable in the inverted mode. If the Logitech Options app indicates a lower charge level, connect your mouse via its charging cable to your M1 or M2 Mac and see if that helps. I’ve been able to successfully use this feature of Steermouse for previous Apple mouse products (Magic Mouse isn’t currently supported by Steermouse), and I’ve used Mouse Acceleration with some some success, although the adjustment values for the mouse, which allow inverting adjustment between acceleration and speed, result in a mouse speed that’s so fast, I can only use its “-0.0” setting for the mouse. What is needed, of course, is the ability to independently adjust the acceleration as well as the speed over a range of values. While the speed of the mouse remains high after the custom acceleration settings are negated, which suits my general preference, the trackpad speed ends up being pretty slow, which I don’t like. Running the script results in a marked improvement for my use of the Magic Mouse, not so much so for my use of the Magic Trackpad. You can read more about mouse acceleration including some other ways to adjust it too. If you aren’t convinced it’s back to normal, just reboot the Mac. If you would like to return to the old and sluggish mouse: open your system preferences, go to the mouse section and click on the “Tracking” slider. You have freed your cursor from the chains of a bad acceleration curve! Next, turn the script into an executable: You’ll need to download the script from, then run it at the command line for the change to take effect.įirst download the script called killmouseaccel: Rather than paying for a shareware application that does the same thing, try out this free command line utility developed by chrisk. Trying to navigate a first person shooter while mouse acceleration is enabled is a nightmare! I was recently reminded of how problematic the OS X acceleration curve can be while playing the recently released (for the mac) Half-Life 2. This type of acceleration “curve” (as they call it) is useful when using a trackpad device, but very problematic when using a “high performance” mouse such as a logitech gaming mouse. It will feel sluggish, unpredictable and unresponsive (to varying degrees depending on the user). For many PC users, when you first use a Mac, it becomes quite obvious that the mouse is behaving very differently.
