Any mouse acceleration fix for Lion yet?

[theaero]

I would like to reinstall Lion, but everytime I do, I remember the horror that was mouse acceleration in games. I found myself spinning around accidentally because of it, constantly.

I use Snow Leopard and I haven't done any terminal tweaks or anything, and I've found it to be just fine for games, but Lion is unbearable. Are there any fixes?

Thanks

A post of mine from before when I went in search of a solution. In the end I chose SteerMouse.

Is it absolutely essential to have to rely on third party software just to play a game? There are no terminal tweaks or anything? I may try controllermate.

What mouse do you have? If it allows on-the-fly speed adjustment you might be able to do without any external applications.

MX518, but I only feel comfortable on the middle setting.

Try the console command in the link then set your MX518 to it's fastest setting, just to see if that helps

I found this but it doesn't appear to work in lion, each command replies "is a directory"

Mouse accel is killing me and super obvious as the mac is on a KVM with two PC's. I don't know how anyone can use mouse acceleration.

I see steermouse mentioning mountain lion already, this still the accepted workaround? Any others?

USB Overdrive is another option, though Steermouse is easier to use IMO. If you have a mouse with on the fly DPI adjustment, you should be able to disable acceleration through the Terminal (as per my previous link) then increase the mouse sensitivity.

Bumping this thread for Mountain Lion. Any fixes? Source games are near-unplayable.

At first glance the default 1.0 appears to help quite a bit, thank you for posting.

For the mousepad do you know what I set it to that makes the pad only perform like stock? I feel apples settings for the pad are fine but just the mouse when docked sucked for me.

MX518 doesn't work correctly with Mountain Lion. Confirmed by Logitech. :-(

I've never had an issue with my MX518 and Mountain Lion. I use it every day without an single issue. The mouse accel issue I'm talking about is a global OSX thing.
