I've got a Microsoft laser mouse that I've had for maybe 15 years. It has always worked well.
But I've been using a Macbook Pro for a couple years, and although I find the trackpad a bit uncomfortable, my mouse doesn't work well with it, either.
The main problem I see is speed: even with the tracking speed at maximum in System Preferences, the cursor moves slowly.
I'm wondering if this is a software issue or a hardware one. Is OSX just not letting me "turn it up to 11" like I want, or is it that the laser mouse has a resolution, where every inch maps roughly to a number of pixels moved, and my current screen has a lot more pixels than those of years ago?
Do I need to change a setting or change my mouse?
