![]() Of course this bites hard outside of this environment. Why it does so might be that 32ms is the right time to evaluate the intent of a typical human interaction with a pointer, maybe even using some form of inverse kinematics, so that when you move your hand towards a small button aiming is smoothly assisted, and/or click target is helpfully adjusted in size to enhance Fitt's law compliance (like iOS keyboard keys dynamically changing sizes depending on the sequence of letters, hence words you type) So my guess is that some form of mouse movement analysis (like mouse smoothing) is working on at least four samples (so that it can statistically mean something), rolling. SmoothCursor comes with built-in support for the following languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Catalan, Russian, and Japanese.32ms divided by 4 is 0.008s which gives us 125Hz (the typical mouse sample rate). Special enforce mode: preserves user acceleration settings even if some other processes try to change them. Automatically start at login (user-definable). Supported acceleration ranges: normal acceleration (>0 to 6), no acceleration (0), inverse acceleration (-6 to <0). Streamlined user interface is always available from the status bar. Alternating between acceleration profiles can be accomplished in 2 different ways: mode one activates alternative profile after Hotkey is released, and mode 2 activates alternative profile while Hotkey is pressed. One of the most relevant features in version 2.0 is the ability to alternate between 2 profiles using an user-definable HotKey. (This feature is optional and can be disabled by the user). SmoothCursor will display a system notification every time a different profile is activated using Growl or Mountain Lion's (10.8) Notification Center. SmoothCursor is a status bar application that provides separate controls for customizing the mouse and trackpad accelerations - It is the perfect tool to use in combination with drawing applications and FPS games. The application offers good value in an attractive package for anyone who needs to customize and save multiple mouse and trackpad accelerations.Įditors' note: This is a review of the trial version of SmoothCursor for Mac 2.1.4. SmoothCursor for Mac makes customizing mouse and trackpad controls quick and intuitive. We tested this app using Apple's Magic Mouse and trackpad on our MacBook Air and were really satisfied with smooth, trouble-free performance. We especially liked the Global Hot Keys option, which let us alternate between two previously set profiles using the assigned key combination. ![]() The app has several advanced settings, which add to its overall functionality. Any options you set will be associated with that particular profile and you may recall it at any time by selecting it from the menu. Once added, the profile name appears in the drop-down menu in the application window. To create a custom profile, you just click the plus icon and enter a profile name. There is also an option to add and delete profiles, which is especially handy if you share your Mac with others. A click on this icon brings up a well-designed interface where you can easily switch the application on and off and alter your mouse and trackpad acceleration using sliders to your preference from inverse to normal ranges. You can access SmoothCursor for Mac easily via an icon in your Menu Bar. This app is free to try, but it will shut down after 20 minutes without saving your settings unless you pay. SmoothCursor for Mac allows you to easily customize mouse and trackpad acceleration settings from the OS X Menu Bar.
