Product Description:

MouseZoom is a small Cocoa pref Pane which lets you set your mouse scaling preference (mouse speed) to greater values than the Apple-supplied pref pane.
MouseZoom is not a "kernel extension" or driver and is safe to use. MouseZoom does not modify the mouse 'curve', only the scaling. Note that MouseZoom does not work with USB Overdrive.

MouseZoom ReviewGreat Little Tool - Version: 2.2, 5/14/2008 04:10PM PST

Just installed this and it works great. Precisely what I've been looking for to speed up my mouse tracking (which in OSX is painfully slow). And, it's FREE, unlike USBoverdrive.

Does everything I wanted of it, including the ability to slow down a mouse beyond Apple's available settings.

MouseZoom ReviewKinda does, kinda doesn't.... - Version: 2.2, 8/4/2007 05:14AM PST

Does what it does well enough. But my complaint with it is similar to the one I have with Apples built in adjustments.

1... Apples. Not enough speed increase, especially with higher resolution displays and laser resolutions their maximum just isn't enough. One thing I hate if pushing a mouse around all day/night. MouseZoom fixes this nicely.

2... MouseZoom's. Not adjustment for the speed/DPI ratio. This is also missing from apples adjustments. I find MouseZooms lack of this feature to be just as frustrating as Apples. I don't like to have much change in speed as I move the mouse. I like to mostly have a direct ratio. My mind expects it to be where I move it. But I find that as my speed changes in physical movement the mouse ends up short of it's mark and I have to push further until I get there. This is as bad as the movement speed being too slow. As a result I have the speed higher than I want to try and compensate and now I overshoot the target. I just can't find a balance.

NOTE: USB Overdrive was a old favourite of mine as it did really well. Until I bought an Apple BT Mighty Mouse, which it doesn't support at all as far as I can figure.
