What is SmoothCursor?
On my PC, when I move the mouse, the movement is smooth, and follow my hand moves. No matter if the move is large or small, the cursor goes exactly where I send it. On my Mac, when I move the mouse, it seems to do what I want on large moves, but on little moves the. The issue of a laggy or slow mouse on Mac could be due to a variety of reasons, ranging from weak batteries, a faulty mouse and incorrect settings to software related issues. Hence, we are listing below a number of ways to fix laggy or slow mouse on Mac, starting with the simplest methods like replacing the batteries on the Mouse, before moving.
SmoothCursor is a status bar application that provides separate controls for customizing the mouse and trackpad accelerations and a quick way to alternate between acceleration profiles using a HotKey — perfect for drawing applications and FPS games!
