I suppose I must have gotten a defective one but I'm not going to try another one guess it's just wired mice for me now. SmoothMouse did not help at all with the m705 at any setting, even with acceleration off. I've set the acceleration to be like Windows and it does make the B100 better by a subtle amount, while turning acceleration off made the B100 worse (but nowhere near as bad as the m705).

SmoothMouse is nice on Mac OS X 10.6.8 and I can highly recommend it. The m705 was near complete failure on both the gaming PC and the Mac. With the Logitech G5 on my gaming PC, I did a great job hitting the targets even when they were small, and the $10 Logitech B100 did almost as good on the Mac. We are aware that such issues may occur and we can fix them on a per-application basis. Went back to the cheap-ass Logitech B100 I was using on the Mac.Ĭonfirmed it with this simple mouse tracking test. Version 1.0.10: Note: An appeal to advanced users: when using SmoothMouse with some games and professional applications, pressing and holding a mouse button may cause the mouse pointer to become extremely sensitive or stop moving at all. Tried it on my Win7 gaming PC and it was the same thing, so it's not a Mac OS X issue. Whether I used a mousepad or the desk surface didn't matter. The cursor doesn't go where I want it to with this mouse. I got an m705 for my Mac for Christmas, and it was immediately apparent that something was horribly wrong with the accuracy of the tracking.
#Smoothmouse alternative drivers
The Performance Mouse MX is officially supported on the Mac by Logitech (now the quality of their drivers is another questions, but they work for me). Major con of G700 would be that you would need to map the keys using Steermouse or some other program as without the drivers you will not be able to use the back / forward buttons etc. The first one had the problem with the jumpy cursor, the second one had an issue with the spring on the middle mouse button, but the third one seems good so far (although the left click is a little less tactile than the other one - you can't win them all I guess). You have to be really careful though because I've gone through 3 replacements to get one that "works" for me (thank you Amazon). My first one I believe was defective (skipped around etc on multiple machines and both Windows and OSX) but my second one has been great. I didn't want to have to deal with Steermouse for driver support so I just went with the performance mouse. Mac acceleration behaves differently (I much prefer the Windows implementation but there are several programs that improve acceleration if you desire:, i.e. Currently using performance MX on my Mac.
