What's wrong with my mouse?

I have the same problem. When I try to make slow short distance mouse moves, the mouse cursor seems to slow down.

 

What kind of mouse are you using? I don't have any problems with precise clicks or right clicking on a word with my VX Revolution. I've uploaded my system preference settings for my mouse.

 

I am having the same issue. Using a Microsoft optical mouse in OSX.

Any solutions?

 

Buy a higher resolution mouse.

*goes back to bed **** why am i up*

 

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.

 

This was kinda making me mad too... found this really neat program though and theres even a gui version of it. Totally free also.

Mouse Fix

Read the readme in order to have it run everytime you start your mac.

P.S. I found that a level of about 2.9 was good for me.

 

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.
