I'm a new mac user and one of the things which has troubled me is the mouse. When having to do very precise clicks, such as pressing the upper right corner or right clicking on a word. That is, very precise short distanced moves with the mouse, the mouse seems to stutter. I have tried to change the mouse-sensitivity, and the change is noticeable, but only when dragging the cursor over larger distances. I still have the problem of stuttering over short distances. I tried asking my father to use my mouse, and he had the same problem. It seems to be a problem with the software since I have the same problem with my track pad and my external mouse.
Got a tip for us?

I have the same problem. When I try to make slow short distance mouse moves, the mouse cursor seems to slow down.
same here.
just got the vx revolution mouse, which is relatively high end.
i think it has something to do with compatibility settings. I've used other mice on my mbp and have had the same issues. But when i used apple's wireless mighty mouse, i didn't notice any stuttering.

I haven't noticed a problem but then again I am using a 3rd party driver for my VX Revolution mouse because the Logitech drivers are (in my experience) a Mac-killer. The drivers I use, which will work with practically every USB mouse as best as I can tell, is SteerMouse (http://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/). You might want to give these drivers a go (there's a trial period and then a cost of $20) and see if they resolve the issue with your model of mouse.
Then again, as iJawn108 noted, it might be the resolution of your mouse that is the issue.

You can also use USB Overdrive, which bypasses this annoying way that OS X controls mouse movements. It can also give functions to other keys on your mouse that OS X couldn't use before.
