## Acceleration
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Disabling
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling -1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note: Log out to take effect. If you change *Tracking Speed* under System Preferences, it will undo this fix. Only affects the mouse, not the trackpad.
|
|
|
|
### Re-enabling
|
|
|
|
Under *System Preferences* → *Mouse*, change *Tracking Speed*.
|
|
|
|
### Trackpad acceleration
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.trackpad.scaling -1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Works the same way, but only affects trackpads.
