Best Program To Disable League Chat For Mac
I've been looking for a solution to the unusable mouse problem in Mac OS X for ages. I've tried a gazillion programs and fiddled with every setting there is or there can be added. So far, I haven't found a way to get linear mouse response in Mac OS X.
The in-game overlay is 100% waiting for you, and it's time to incorporate your voice & text chat into your game for maximum effort, focus, and no distractions from declaring your online gaming supremacy.
The best compromise I found after 2 hours of fiddling with setting is this: set scaling to 150% and use 1900x1200 resolution in game. This is usable for me anyway for daily use in and out of game and gets me 60-85 fps in game with all settings maxed. This was moved to Options -> Game play -> Voice Chat: Disabled Indeed, because it made no sense for it to be classified as 'audio' lol. The text chat options at least.
At this point I'm seriously considering installing another operating system.
But before I do that, or go hacking around OS binaries, maybe someone here has a solution?
I want linear mouse response. I want high sensitivity. I like my touchpad acceleration and would like to keep it if possible. Any ideas?
P.S. I've been at this for a long time, I'll probably have already tried the most popular answers.
I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.5 on a MacBook Pro. I don't use a particular brand of mouse.
I'm not looking for any commercial solutions.
I've tried:
- Mouse Acceleration Preferences Pane, the Snow Leopard version of which can get me close to a linear response, but at the cost of tracking speed (sensitivity).
- Answers on this question: Make Mac OS X mouse acceleration more Windows-like
- About every code snippet I found via Google.
From what I've gathered so far, the only method to kill the acceleration curve seems to be to set the mouse scaling to a negative value (for which there are apparently two methods.) Unfortunately, this also kills the tracking speed. Before 10.4, there was a function to which you could pass your own acceleration curve which solved everything.

By the way, here is the Linux counterpart to this question: Disabling mouse acceleration in X.Org (Linux)
...and here's the programmatical variant, as I'll be trying to roll my own solution: Disabling mouse acceleration in Mac OS X @ SO

Use your manufacturer's mouse driver, if available
Alternatives are the general, commercial, all-purpose mouse utilities/drivers USB Overdrive or Steermouse, or use Mouse Acceleration Preference Pane.
Daniel Beck♦Daniel BeckShort answer, write on a Terminal:
That should do it for both mouse and trackpad. If you want to restore the default values, type:
Big-time answer, check out Mouse Curves Acceleration Preference Pane (free download).Open your Preferences Panel > Mouse Acceleration and set the Mouse value to 0.0x
That should do it but if you want more control you can also check the App at the same page that gives you full control on these and other mouse settings.
ArjanI had the same problem because I wanted to try League of Legends, an RTS-like online game - mouse acceleration can be a pain when you want precision combined with swift movement of your hand.
I found ControllerMate, which worked like a charm after some tweaks and tests:
ControllerMate is a controller programming tool that allows you to customize the behavior of your HID devices — keyboards, keypads, mice, trackballs, joysticks, gamepads, throttles, among others. ControllerMate’s philosophy is to be as flexible as possible, to provide a set of basic programming tools, and to allow the user to combine those tools in an endless variety of ways.
DiogoSee this thread : Tired of Mac OS X's mouse acceleration?
Several solutions are discussed, including the source of a 21-lines C program that will turn of scaling, also available as a downloadable attachment. I suggest reading the entire thread first.

harrymcI use steermouse and it allows you to independently set acceleration and tracking speed. One thing, having manufacturer's driver and steermouse installed messes things up.
GaffGive MouseZoom a try, it worked for me to slow down mouse motion.
I use this fix from TeamLiquid, dubbed MouseFixer2:
SmoothMouse.com seems to be the solution. It is a project to improve mouse and trackpad usability.
It works great on my MacBook Air running OSX Mavericks.
There is a preference pane which can be installed to eliminate acceleration in OS X, available here.
It may sound counter-intuitive, but to remove the acceleration, set 'Mouse' to -6.0x.
If you also have a PC set up next to your Mac, you can use Synergy+ to share the PC's mouse. This has the added benefit of using the PC's mouse speed and acceleration settings, and if you're on Windows you can disable these from Control Panel.
Note that the Windows machine must be setup as the server, with the Mac as a client.

Because of this issue, I put away a logitech G5.I solved the problem using a Magic Mouse. Its drivers provide a smooth pointer acceleration I didn't find in any other mouse.
This is not a good solution, but worked for me...
I hear there's a nice little App called Decelerator might just do the trick! ;-)
(Shameless plug, I wrote it. :D)
I was going to toss BetterTouchTool into the ring but I saw your dislike for 3rd party software to make the mouse shape up. I'm adding it here in hope it helps someone else in the future.
GaffI'm using a Logitech G400 so this might only apply to that family of mice.
Using the Logitech gaming software, turn the DPI sensitivity all the way up (3600) and the polling rate all the way down (125).
Then in OSX mouse system preferences turn the tracking speed down almost all the way. This not only removed acceleration for me, but also fixed problems where the pointer would freeze or stick at low speeds.
Magic Mouse. Inertial Scrolling set to off. You'll be back to Windows 3.0 but I have no idea why you would want to be.
