My mouse is set to fast but still is painfully slow. Its hooked direct to keyboard and keyboard to CPU.
Anyone seen this or know the fix?! It is driving me crazy! Its always been like this too.

ya I would say the same if its not wireless bluetooth mouse then it usually is the cord, I have had 2 of them like that, more so where the plug connects into the USB port.

It is that mouse.... But it's been like that since day 1. But now that i have to work on it myself it is unacceptable. It can't be the mouse, it has to be in the system, Any other help?

S.L.O. mouse problem?
Maybe more of a vector control issue than a design threat.

i may be totally off on this, but make sure it's OSX compliant. Almost every mouse in the office had to be changed out because of this when we first got OSX (10.0).

It's the mouse that came with my OSX/OSP cpu.

If you have the original black buttonless, there should be a ring around the laser on the bottom of the mouse with a +/- at each end. Rotate said ring to the + end of the dial. I know they dropped it off the newer mice, but if you have a G4 it's probably there.

fresnobob:
Isn't it horrible? What do we do?
and johndiggity., the mice does have that selection but it makes no difference. It still is mega-slow

buy a new one. I gotta Kensington Studio mouse, pretty nice, and you can set it to track super fast.

That looks pretty nice... I wonder if the wireless apple mouse would work too, if you can set it to track faster.
thanks john

I used that Bluetooth Apple mouse when I was freelancing and they had a powerbook for me. I can't use a one button mouse again. It really is stupid. It was slow too and I'm too used to having the custom superfast tracking and button mapping with the kensington.
