I noticed the exact opposite to be true. I regularly use Windows, Linux and OSX, and OSX seems to be the only OS that gets mouse movement right.
The cursor moves (at least subjectively) exactly like my fingers on the trackpad. On Windows/Linux it always seems either too slow or too fast.
- freehunter 15y agoThis may be due to mouse acceleration being turned on. Even in Windows, you can tweak the mouse settings to be faster or slower, or enable/disable mouse acceleration.
- gnaffle 15y agoFor what it's worth, I don't have a problem with the trackpad (which I think works better than on any PC, or with Linux), but i notice it with external mice.
- ssharp 15y agoMaybe it's just something you get used to. I use OSX 95% of the time and the 5% I'm on something else, I think the cursor is too jumpy. I'm sure if I flipped those numbers, I'd think OSX is too delayed. I don't play FPS games, but it sounds like the lag is a major problem. If Apple has the lag by design, it would make sense for this "feature" to be turned off by default once you start a game, and turned back on once you quit. Apple has never appeared to be particularly concerned with satisfying the hardcore gamers who tend to play FPS games and who would notice the lag, so this is probably a really low priority for them.
