It’s still way too slow! Is there anything I can do? I’m on Lion 10.7.3 beta and 10.7.2 retail. I need it about 50-100% faster (for speed chess).

Thanks man it’s really help!

Just bought a new iMac 2 weeks ago, first time I have Mac though.
Stressed about magic mouse, really slow in my opinion.
I set for 24.0 on a OS X 10.6, a bit crazy I think; but it’s suit my need:
defaults write -g com.apple.mouse.scaling 24.0
Have a blessed day!

I’m looking for a way to speed up my typing on the Mac–this is the first web page I’ve come across that addresses anything like this. I’m coming from a PC environment where I work mostly with keyboard shortcuts, and for example will often use option+shift to select words and replace or otherwise manipulate them. However, on the Mac I’m really frustrated because I can’t work nearly as fast as I can on the PC–the actual typing speed (i.e., the rate at which my typing is registered on the screen) is slower than I’d like, and so is the process of selecting and cutting and pasting. In addition, when I’m working quickly, the cursor will often disappear entirely and I’ll have to stop for a few seconds and “find” it so I can keep track of what I’m doing.

Clearly, the Mac is not made for people who use primarily word processors. Is there a way to fix typing speed similar to this mouse speed trick? TIA
