Just thought I'd pass this along it works perfectly. Much better SE/30 experience over here.

Thanks for posting this! I never used macs back in the day and am missing all these tricks. |

Really clever control panel, thanks for sharing this. Immediately added it to my default SCSI image for the battery-less SE/30.
I notice there's also a "Mouse3" cdev mentioned on the page, and now I'm curious if this is an incremental update or functional improvement in any way. |

Just to wonder? Why would you need this on a screen the size of an SE/30’s? |

I feel the tracking is very slow compared to my moderns computers. I actually need to pickup my mouse to get across the screen on my SE/30 because not enough real estate on my desk. |

Specifically the G5341 is a very sluggish mouse compared to others. Even on an SE/30 with the speed in the mouse control panel maxed, it. still
doesnt feel too snappy...this fixed the issue perfectly. |

Ultimately, yes, it’s a different feel than today’s machines because there is so much more real estate to cover. On the flip side, crazy fast mouse movement makes pinpoint control more of an issue. |

well I wouldn't say they're real slow but just a little slower than I like them even maxed out. I have a power computing ADB mouse that feels twice as fast. |

Huh, weird. I don’t even have the mouse tracking turned all the way up on my 640x480+ screen size Macs. Usually second or third to highest is the sweet spot for me.
Now, the tracking selections under System 1 and 2, on the other hand (Mouse and Tablet) could certainly use something like this. |

I probably like my mouse abnormally fast. To each their own. I don't like pulling my mouse all the way across the mouse pad. |

The slow mouse is the most annoying thing about running a system without a PRAM battery for me, so this seems like it would be most useful in that scenario. |

Agreed... especially with my supposed 'turbo' mouse. 😁 |

One good reason all my used machines have batteries. |
