SteelSeries ExactMouse Tool

SteelSeries ExactMouse Tool is a handy app that helps Mac users tackle mouse acceleration issues. By default, macOS has mouse acceleration turned on, which can be frustrating for those who prefer precise control. Before Sonoma came along, turning it off wasn't easy, especially for older Macs. You either had to rely on third-party software or use a Terminal command.

What Does It Do?

This tool runs right in your menu bar and lets you turn off mouse acceleration permanently while it's active. The best part? It’s designed to be super straightforward! You don’t need any fancy setup or technical know-how to get started.

How to Use SteelSeries ExactMouse Tool

To kick things off, just launch the app and choose On or Always On. If you set it to On, it will disable acceleration, but keep in mind that this can still be overridden by the OS settings or other software. If you go with Always On, it disables acceleration and keeps it off no matter what. This setting is particularly useful when you're changing macOS mouse settings or if other apps try to re-enable acceleration.

Status Indicators

You’ll notice a small green, yellow, or red indicator on the menu bar icon depending on your chosen setting. Plus, the app automatically starts up when you log in—no extra steps needed! Since there isn't much of an interface, you'll only see it hanging out in your menu bar.
