SweetMercifulCrap! posted:I've had a 24" M1 iMac for two years now and I barely use it. Every time I try to force myself to use it I get hung on on one thing: the loving mouse pointer control in macOS sucks absolute poo poo. The mouse cursor polling rate/acceleration in macOS is absolutely loving terrible and has been a problem for years if you search online. I had a macbook air m1 for a month with this same problem and returned it for this exact reason, wasted over 2 weeks of my time trying to make the mouse cursor not feel like hot garbage to no luck. Same thing you and lots of other people you find searching online have gone through. Changing mice, messing around with settings, downloading (lmao at paying for) one of those lovely apps like steermouse, which didn't work for me. There is a big reddit write up post on it that was super informative but I can't find it again. It was a pretty long post breaking down why the person thinks it was happening and boils down to bluetooth in the M chips being poo poo/bugged/broken. It didn't have many solutions but using a mouse wired/2.4ghz wireless dongle instead of wireless over bluetooth. But you didn't say if you were using a bluetooth mouse or not and I find it hard to believe that it would fix the problem anyway. The summary of the reddit post was the dude saying it has been a problem for a long time and he is hard pressed to think that apple is going to fix this anytime soon, which I agree with. I imagine they don't see it as a problem. That too and most of the time you search online for the problem people constantly say stuff like 'feels fine to me' or 'why are you using a gaming mouse on a mac?' to 'just use the trackpad lol' I kind of want to get a m3 macbook air, because passively cooled computing baby. But I just know this bullshit will still be there. Not interested in putting up with my primary input of the computer being gimped for such an expensive system. In my opinion just sell it, you said you don't use it anyway and used macs do a good job of holding their value.

SweetMercifulCrap! posted:I have definitely considered that it could just be brainworms from using Windows for 30 years that makes me hate mouse pointer control on macOS, but good to know I'm not alone. Probably brainworms all around. I can see easily somebody using a mac most of the time thinking it feels fine, then the other way around for someone who is used to windows. I think the mouse feels fine on linux though.  You can try some other things if you want to waste more time on it. But I didn't have much luck in the time I spent finding a solution. I'm going to have to wait for a 2-1 touch screen mac I guess, pls tim apple Quackles posted:To be fair, I game on a mac with the trackpad real gamers use trackballs
