To Apple Computer:

Many of your customers want an option that has been sorely missing from Mac OS X since the beginning. We want the option to turn on or off mouse acceleration.

There are many reasons why we want to do so. Many of us have used Apple's Product Feedback to ask for this feature over the years, but have been ignored.

We do not have an issue with enabled mouse acceleration being the default; many users are unsure what it is, and are perfectly happy with it.

SteerMouse, USBOverdrive and MouseFix are not necessarily adequate solutions for various reasons.

What we ask for is simple. We want one checkbox added to the mouse preference panel that allows us to turn off mouse acceleration.

    • It is absolutely nescesary!! When I'm working on a mac I'm misclicking all the time & I even get a slight feeling of RSI in my wrist after working with the mouse for longer then 10 minutes!!!!!
