The only solution is to actually use Windows, hence synergy. Also a bummer is that sometimes my cursor disappears, and I have to switch apps with cmd+tab in order to restore it.Īs much as a perfectionist as Steve Jobs was, the cursor tracking on OS X unfortunately eluded his attention. In particular you should not run it over wifi and instead use as direct of an ethernet connection as possible to reduce the latency. Synergy is not a great solution, but it is a solution. Furthermore, regardless of the acceleration curve, OS X has a defect that causes many mice to make erratic jumping movements (apparently this is fixed in OSX Lion.) and no available software (except for OSX Lion) addresses it. None, and I repeat, none (I've tried all of them) of the available OS X mouse mods out there actually get your mouse to behave like it does on Windows. I may sound extreme, but I connect my mouse to a small, quiet, Windows laptop and use synergy with the mac as a client.
