I&amp;#x27;m using this script now: &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;docwhat&amp;#x2F;killmouseaccel&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;github.com&amp;#x2F;docwhat&amp;#x2F;killmouseaccel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Downside is it&amp;#x27;s a one-shot sensitivity which can&amp;#x27;t be adjusted, owing to the hacky nature of it, which was semi-found-by-chance to boot. After lots of searching on threads, seems this is one of the only hacks that works, so doesn&amp;#x27;t seem to be much support from macOS on this stuff.&lt;p&gt;Used to have an app format of this so I didn&amp;#x27;t have to run the console command every time at login, but need to find an updated solution for Catalina.</text></comment>

It&amp;#x27;s awful for anything where you have to aim, I can&amp;#x27;t imagine gaming on a system with mouse acceleration that can&amp;#x27;t be disabled.</text></comment>
