Decelerate 1.0

Decelerator allows you to customize the acceleration setting of your mouse or trackpad. While System Preferences can change the tracking speed, it doesn`t actually allow you to modify the factory default acceleration setting. There are a number of reasons you might want to do this:

1. Gamers often disable mouse acceleration entirely to gain a competitive edge in "twitch" reflexes. With mouse acceleration off, a distance on-screen corresponds with an exact distance your hand must move, and is unaffected by the speed with which it moves there.

2. Windows users often find Mac OS X`s relatively high mouse acceleration disorienting and frustrating. Lowering the mouse acceleration can go a long way to easing the transition to a new operating system.

3. Some people prefer higher or lower acceleration settings for many reasons both logical and illogical. If you`re one of those people, then Decelerator allows you to tweak to your heart`s content.

Decelerator costs $1 (and no, I don`t believe in reminding you how that compares to a cup of coffee, though I guess I just did!), with 70 cents of each purchase going to the "feed a starving developer" fund. I`ve been using the app very happily for the last few months, and I hope it`s as useful (in fully unproductive ways!) for you as it has been for me. If you have any comments or suggestions, I`d love to hear them on the forums at http://www.bulldozersoftware.com/decelerator.

One more thing. I hate it when developers charge upgrade fees to users, so new Decelerator versions will ALWAYS be free for existing users.

Ok, two more things. If you have a problem, please please please contact me instead of (or at least in addition to) submitting a bad review. Developers have no way of contacting reviewers for details, and since I am unfortunately confined to only 5 senses, I can`t actually fix "Horrible aplication I ever bought". I tried to address the 3 negative reviews so far here: http://www.bulldozersoftware.com/x/blog/2011-07-18-decelerator-gets-3-bad-reviews
