Ever since I started using a Mac, one of the first things I realized is that the mouse movement/sensitivity feels awkward. When you move the mouse slow, the cursor moves way too slow, and it makes it hard to make precise little movements like trying to hover over little icons or buttons.
Its never really bothered me - until today. A friend asked that I play an online game at http://www.isketch.com with him. Basically you draw pictures and everyone else is supposed to guess what it is. Now, i'm no artist, but what i've realized is that I draw like 100x worse in OSX than I do in windows, simply because I can't control the cursor well. I can't draw nice perfect circles, my lines are crooked and jittery. I don't have this problem at all in windows, even using the same exact mouse. It has something to do with the mouse acceleration in OSX, but I can't seem to fix it. Changing the sensitivity slider doesn't help at all. I'm sure other switchers have noticed this too, so i'm wondering, has anyone found a fix for this? Its really starting to get on my nerves. When I can't even draw decent stick figures, then I know something is really wrong.
