SmoothCursor is a little utility that allows you to customize the acceleration settings of your mouse or trackpad separately.

It provides you with a slider to adjust the acceleration curve to be negative, positive, or entirely disabled.

I don't use this myself, as I cannot feel any difference between Mac OS, Windows, and Linux as far as mousing is concerned, but figured some of the crowd here might appreciate it.

EDIT: Just to clarify, the program is not my creation. I ran across it when browsing MacUpdate.

I've never had a problem with the OS X or X11 (or X10 or NeWS or SunTools or NeXTStep or Interlisp), but Windows' spastic pointer movement drives me crazy.

Thanks for sharing. However I do make sure I game under windows.

Thanks for the tip.

I've been using USB Overdrive for years, and always disabled acceleration. Sadly I think I'll have to switch to something else (probably ControllerMate, as I already have a licence), because USBO doesn't work with the Magic Trackpad, which I'd like to give a try.

OH HELL YES!

Pardon me if I spontaneously fellate you for allowing me to set the trackpad separately to my mouse.
