    When I had the MBP for a while, I noticed a weird movement of the cursor. The slower I move it, the less it moves and the faster I move it the more it moves. I know what your are thinking, "What? That's obvious", but it's a different feeling than on the windows. Does anyone notice this? I tried going to the options and changing all the speed settings etc. I even downloaded different mouse updates but couldn't solve the problem. If anyone else has experienced this, I would appreciate any comments.

    i noticed this in the store when i was checking out the mb's the other day

    i imagine you just get used to it, unless you can indeed turn it off

    It's acceleration. You get used to it, or you turn it off.
    Personally, I like it.

    I like it, but as others have said it is an optional feature. So if it bothers you turn it off.
