As for firmware related acceleration, I've not ran into any - but I can certainly imagine this being something easier to manage under Windows, considering practically all "gaming" mice are aimed at Windows users. It's a feature of some mice. If it can't be disabled, it's a misfeature for gaming. Curiously some gaming mice are sold with acceleration that can't be disabled: http://www.saunalahti.fi/~cse/temp/mice.html http://www.saunalahti.fi/~cse/temp/mice.html
