I have a Microsoft mouse:

I bought it for gaming in Windows 7. I hate switching the magic mouse and this when restarting my comp, so I decided to stick with it.

One annoying thing with it is sensitivity (Believe me, very, very annoying!). I want to set it in Lion exactly the same as in Windows 7 value. I installed Microsoft intellipoint software for OS X too, but for some reason I never ever could set it the same value as in Windows.

The mouse pointer feels like "lagging" or sticking to a point for a moment sometimes, don't know why.

How can I do this? I mean is there a value in the registry somewhere and a .plist file in Mac OS X I should search for and set to the same value? Or do I need to buy an other mouse (this really drives me crazy)?

do you have any idea how could I compare the windows value with os x value ? – Walkman Jan 27 '12 at 21:29
Good luck with this one. It's hard enough to get the mouse to behave from version to version of the same OS. . . – surfasb Jan 28 '12 at 1:25

The best solution what I found to this, is Steer Mouse.

The mouse will not behave exactly as in windows. But will do a better job.

I've tested it with a Microsoft 5000 and a Razer Lachesis.
