I used iMouseFix, Steermouse, and a couple freebies but none of them quite did the trick. I've been looking for years trying to get this right. I've seen a documentary about the development of this company (I found it at rapidshare SE )and since that time I usually buy Apple products. A mouse is such a simple device but it has also its secrets. I think you could be right here mate, so far it does feel nice. So far it does feel better, it just feels free if you know what I mean.

Now go enjoy using a mouse again on a Mac! So basically the trick is you have to use Apple’s settings to smooth out the acceleration curve to something suitable for windows and linux users. Voila! Now you have a mouse that wont drive you crazy! I am currently using a Logitech mouse and here is a screenshot of my setting (Snow Leopard on a MacBookPro with intel). Now you will go to the mouse’s proprietary settings page and move up the tracking speed to a point where its fast enough for you. At this point your left with a mouse that moves to slow. This effectively smooths out the acceleration curve to something your used to in windows. The trick is to scale back Apples acceleration curve usually to the third from last tick mark. Navigate one to the default Apple mouse tracking speed page, and the other one to the mouse’s proprietary setting page (like Microsoft, Logitech, etc.).
MACOS MOUSE ACCELERATION DRIVERS
Then download their drivers from their website for your operating system whether its Leopard, Snow Leopard, 32bit, or 64bit. You need to know if its Microsoft, Logitech, Saitek, etc…. First off, figure out what mouse you have. Here is how your going to fix your mouse scrolling to a point where you actually feel in control of your computer. The solution is to not fight the algorithm but use it against itself. This is because non of them are effectively overwriting the apple algorithm.
MACOS MOUSE ACCELERATION PC
However non of the programs will make you feel like your using a pc on linux machine. Most people suggest free and pay programs that try and modify apples acceleration scheme to mimic windows. Snow leopard Macs have a mouse acceleration formula that drives windows and linux users crazy.

Apple computers have been using weird mouse acceleration algorithms for a while now.

It has been talked about all over the internet in many blog posts and articles from popular websites.
