The CST has some but on a trackball it's quite handy.
Not sure why the mice guys always have such a fit about acceleration anyway. Sounds overblown as an issue since my MX518 is fine as a gaming mouse.
Probably just due to the high amount of acceleration Windows forces. The amount windows forces cuts down consistent twitch accuracy, I notice it just in moving around folders in explorer. On paper it sounds like an amazing implementation, but you do lose consistency.
I find small amounts perfectly adjustable though, whatever is in the G9x causes me no issues for gaming. I was under the impression the 518 was highly regarded for no acceleration? I even improved my CoD game going from the 518 to the G9x.
I'm a little intrigued by the acceleration discussion earlier in the thread regarding the slimblade, as I can't say I've found any, or as much as one user suggested (as a G9x user there may be very little there that that I find normal), with it turned off in windows mouse settings and turned off in trackballworks. And I'm using it one notch lower than the default in trackballworks so I tend to flick the ball pretty hard if I need to travel some distance, then again it's also hard to tell exactly how far you have flicked it or consistently flick it the same distance... But I am now considering the idea of acceleration on a trackball, particularly because of the slimblade ball being so exposed, at higher senstivity settings so as to get around easier I found I was just nudging it off the mark when I went to click.
I'm also curious as to why you have referred to the slimblade as slingblade in your spreadsheet. Either way I'm thinking I'll take a measurement too, out of curiosity.
