The cursor is accelerated when you check "Enhance pointer precision" on Windows 10-11. This is the default setting.
What is the exact value of this parameter to set on the LinearMouse app to get precisely the same behavior on macOS with the same mouse hardware? This value can be set in a range from 0 to 20, not only a binary parameter yes/no like Windows.

Same question for speed: what is the value of the parameter between 0 and 1 to get the same speed as the Windows 10-11 default speed?

Below are the default Mouse Properties on Windows 10-11:

Anyone find values that work? I just downloaded LinearMouse and it seems like it should be possible but haven't been able to dial it in yet.

Here the most likeable controls for Mac users, these are accelerated motions and I dont know why do you guys don't use that.It's just better.
It's better to increase the scrolling rate i.e >=90 I guess.

Alright I think I found the ideal settings, at least for my devices.

In Pointer, I have Pointer Acceleration and Pointer Speed both set to 0.3.

I've switched between ubuntu and mac using my KMSwitch and it feels pretty identical on both

I use a Logitech G Pro Wireless which uses the Logitech G-HUB software. Mouse connected by USB which i think is their Lightspeed receiver. . I hadnt been able to get the mouse feeling quite right since converting to Mac. After seeing your screen shots, i ended up removing the 'unnatural scroll wheels' software from my mac (which was reversing the scroll wheel on the mouse leaving it the opposite on the track pad) resetting the mouse settings in Logitech GHUB which reverted the 'Report Rate' to 1000 times per second and set the mouse DPI speeds to 800, now all at 'Reset To Default' settings and the mouse movement was truly awful and slow.

I then installed Linear Mouse and set it exactly as you showed in your screenshotsh one exception being the Scrolling -> Horiztonal -> Reverse Scrolling Enabled (havent quite made the change from windows!)

And its truly fantastic! Just to have that extra control over the acceleration has made my year, especially when using 2 monitors and also controlling the MacBookPro via Universal Control from the Mac Studio.

Thanks so much for your post.
