How to disable "Mouse Acceleration" rMBP (10.8.5)

Title says it all...

I have searched everywhere, and can't find an up to date answer. Come on, there have to be some gamers here who can't stand "Mouse Acceleration"

Thanks in advance

As far as I know there is no way to do that through Mac OS X, though there are third party options. You may want to take a look at Smoothmouse (which apparently fixes mouse lag which can be mistaken for mouse acceleration problems) or Controllermate (which allows you to adjust the mouse acceleration curve to your specifications).

This is the link of the blog post that explains, or at least argues for lag being the issue, not acceleration:

Lots of noise in the comments for and against, however the most salient comment is from John Carmack (co-creator of Doom etc.), who actually used a high-speed camera to measure this objectively. Whether this still applies to newer versions of OS X is unknown...

I couldn't/can't stand the mouse movement with OS X, so for a loooong time I used a replacement mouse driver called SteerMouse, this made mouse movement linear. Then Logitech released their driver and app for OS X, so I've been using that in place of SteerMouse.

It's not a lag issue, it's just how the mouse movement was programmed and isn't linear so the "fix" is to use a 3rd party mouse driver.

Thanks for the responses guys, I will look into these options.
