SmoothMouse wasn’t created only to “fix acceleration”. It wasn’t our top priority back in the day.

The top priority was to improve the response time of the mouse pointer in macOS.

On a slightly unrelated note, I strongly believe that many people didn’t realize the reason for their discomfort from using a mouse with macOS wasn’t the quirky acceleration algorithm per se, but the input lag which made the algorithm a lot harder to get used to.įor many years it had been lagging for 16 milliseconds compared to Windows, and SmoothMouse was the only solution to this problem. Yes, the lag of 16ms may be noticeable by the human eye when combined with the display lag.

It’s simply difficult to learn something when the outcome of your actions is delayed.

Apple has fixed the 16ms lag in El Capitan (and Sierra). You don’t need SmoothMouse anymore if you use SmoothMouse only to fix the lag.

Under the hood, SmoothMouse is very different to all other 3rd party mouse drivers, because it was designed for a different purpose.

SmoothMouse didn’t tweak the default driver of macOS like SteerMouse or USB Overdrive, it took its place instead.

When I emailed SteerMouse developers back in 2010 (before SM began) about the pointer lag, they were like “what are you talking about? We’re not doing this!” Of course, they could not do what I wanted. I’m sorry, but we’re putting the project on pause.be more like other mouse drivers). We won’t do the former and we don’t really see the point in the latter, so… It boils down to two options: “bite the bullet” (use Apple’s buggy API and hope for the best) - or - reengineer SmoothMouse from the ground up (i.e.And for this very reason SteerMouse still works in Sierra and SmoothMouse doesn’t. SmoothMouse won’t support Sierra. We will unfreeze the project if we find a better API to move the mouse pointer. Quite possibly it will never happen because Apple nowadays is too busy with other things.

That said, if you’re a C++ programmer who worked with the inners of macOS (kernel) and have a desire to experiment, please click here. Mouse acceleration in macOS sucks and it’s not only a matter of taste (maybe I’ll write another post on this).If you’re looking for something to replace SmoothMouse I can highly recommend ControllerMate.
