#Cursorsense free how to
Therefore the question above is about how to tackle this if you want to code your own mouse drivers. (See the first sentence of this question.) Here I'm trying to create my own solution, so to speak, using - I don't know - some HID API? A driver? A solution on the lines of "open current user's prefs file and change this setting to this" should probably be posted on the other question, but note that such a solution probably doesn't exist.Ī lot of my reputation on StackOverflow has come from people voting up this answer, which I wrote way back before I realised that there are several stack exchange websites and that StackOverflow is for programming questions and answers only. Thanks in advance.Įdit: Although I've asked both questions to solve the same problem, this is the programmatical counterpart to the other one. I know the question is a bit open but I don't even know what kind of a solution could work. So anything is appreciated, really ("can't distribute drivers without certificate from Apple") but some documentation/reference would get me a long way ("Darwin's Next Generation Mouse Curve Editing API and Examples").

I'm a fairly experienced C programmer, both in user and kernel space (in Linux and Windows), but know next to nothing about Mac OS X or Darwin. Can easily be applied/run by other people who want the same thing (all 42 of us on the planet).Works on mice but not touchpads, tablets, magic wands.Works on Snow Leopard (10.6.5) and later - much later, unless an important piece of the API gets deprecated.I want my solution to be as simple, universal and unintrusive as possible, so some criteria might be: (Well, not true, but it's better to start from scratch.) Should I write a mouse driver? A startup program? A click-and-forget settings adjuster? A preferences pane? That is, no acceleration an adjustable but constant pixels pointer moves / meters mouse moved ratio. To summarize: I want to have linear mouse response on Mac OS X. First of all, here's the userland question: Disabling mouse acceleration in Mac OS X superuser
