Does not work with OS X 10.7 Lion
allan_vancouver- Pros
- worked well until 10.7
- Cons
- In 10.7, MouseZoom causes very strange mouse behavior for virtual windows machines running under VMWare Fusion.
- Summary
- uninstall this app before upgrading to OS X Lion, especially if you also use VMWare Fusion
Installs easily and works well.

Great Little Tool
jmhuculak- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />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.
Kinda does, kinda doesn't....

- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />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.

Simple & Useful!

Also good for slowing down.
christian.erickson- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I just bought a Bluetooth Logitech V270 mouse, and with no drivers supplied by Logitech the mouse sensitivity is way too fast for me on the second-lowest OSX setting and way too slow on the lowest setting. Having the the abillity to fine-tune the speed beyond the 6 settings Apple provides is crucial.
Tiger, no problem. The cure for cats of all sizes!
Luminous- Pros
- Cons
- Summary
- This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This is a must for anyone who finds the built in preference pane limited for controlling the speed of your mouse or trackpad. Easy to use, easy to undo, works with Tiger even though it hasn't been altered in a couple or three years. It's perfect, why change it?
