What does this command do in Terminal?

[flimzy]

A user on reddit posted this thread regarding mouse sensitivity: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueofle...dear_mac_users_ever_wondered_why_you_suck_at/

he said to enter "Default find scaling" in terminal. Does anyone know what this actually does? Because it didn't work for me.

It is defaults with an s. And you can try this to narrow down the search:

defaults find .scaling|grep Global -A 5

The command "defaults find scaling" searches all of your preferences for the text "scaling". If you just want to disable mouse pointer acceleration, then enter the following command:

defaults write -g com.apple.mouse.scaling -float -1

Note: The change won't take effect until you next log in.
