Disable mouse acceleration and adjust pointer speed on Mac

Does the pointer travel farther than expected when you move the mouse quickly? EasyMouse supports per-device pointer speed, acceleration settings and disabling acceleration.

Set it up in EasyMouse.

  1. Install EasyMouse and grant Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions.

  2. Select the mouse in the menu bar and open its pointer settings.

  3. Disable pointer acceleration, then adjust pointer speed gradually while comparing the movement.

  4. Test slow and fast movements in your usual apps, then save. Check any app-specific automatic settings as well.

Before you start.

Pointer speed and hardware DPI are different settings. Hardware DPI adjustment is available only on supported devices. EasyMouse does not promise an exact match to another operating system’s or game’s sensitivity.

  • Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
  • Runs on both Apple silicon and Intel-based Macs.
  • One universal build supports both Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
  • Please allow EasyMouse under Accessibility and Input Monitoring in System Settings → Privacy & Security. Please check these permissions again if macOS asks after an update.

Frequently asked questions

Can I disable acceleration and still change speed?

Yes. Acceleration can be disabled while pointer speed remains adjustable. Find a comfortable speed with acceleration off.

Will my trackpad get the same settings?

Select the mouse you want to change. Device-specific settings let your trackpad and other mice retain their own profiles.

Can I change hardware DPI on every mouse?

No. Hardware DPI adjustment depends on the mouse model and firmware. Check it separately from pointer speed.
