Mouse Acuity

Mouse Acuity is a handy app for macOS that helps you check how well your mouse is working. Nowadays, most of us use computer mice to move the pointer on our Mac screens and click on things like buttons and menus. These little devices have come a long way! They started as old-school mechanical mice with balls inside, and now we've got fancy laser ones.

Why Use Mouse Acuity?

This app is super easy to use and works with any mouse that's compatible with your Mac. Its main goal? To help you test your mouse's precision over time. So, if you think your mouse isn't as accurate anymore, this tool can give you some answers!

Compare Mouse Performance

Mouse Acuity also lets you compare how different settings affect your mouse's performance. Plus, if you're torn between two mouse models, it can help you figure out which one is more precise.

How Does It Work?

Once you launch the app, it gives clear instructions on how to test your mouse. The test feels like a fun dexterity game! Just hit the "Start" button and you're off. You'll need to drag a ball into a hole eight times—first from the center to the corners of the window and then back again—aiming for accuracy each time.

Your Results

When you're done with the test, Mouse Acuity will automatically calculate a score for each round along with some cool stats about selection and dragging. It'll help you decide which settings are best for your mouse or which model has better accuracy.

A Useful Tool

This app might not be a professional benchmark tool, but it still gives useful insights into how accurate your mouse is. You might think that results depend on how fast or precise you are as a user. But since you'll be doing both tests yourself, Mouse Acuity's results provide a solid way to compare different settings or models.
