I don't have a mac, but nice idea :-) Feedback: Key mode 1 or 2? Whatever happened to nice labels that don't require looking up in a manual, like "hold" and "toggle"?
this was the first thing I noticed as well. I think the extra space required for words is worth the lack of confusion.
My two year old, $19, Microsoft mouse has already this with the software it come with. I don't mean to discourage you, but I think you spent more time on the design and execution than developing the software itself. $19 is a lot of money for a simple thing like that. It's the price of a mouse + a software that customize many things for it (buttons, speed...). However, the niche is interesting. I'll be glad to pay $30…
The design is, needless to say, stunning.
Kudos!

I personally don't need the added precision, but if I did, 20 dollars is not a lot for added productivity.
A great idea, both the app and this post! Unless the unobstrusiveness is the main selling point, I would drop "A small unobtrusive app that allows you to" from the description and just go with "Achieve unrivaled precision with your mouse". You could list the fact that it is unobstrusive further below.
Good luck. A small comment: "precision speed" is a slightly misleading term, especially when combined with a percentage measurement."Mouse speed" or "Movement speed" or just "Precision" are best? If the latter, then you can just invert the bar (i.e. 100% precision is super slow movement). As it is now, without reading the description on the website there is no intuitive selection for the user (much as with your "key…
2 CSS booboos:
- .main-description has 2 font-sizes, the second should be font-weight.
- in styles.css the images/line.png image returns a 404 on line 26.

Agreed, especially since your slider uses a percentage value (what's 100% of speed?). If instead you used a label of 'Precision' like anateus suggested, or a similar word like Accuracy and your end values were 'High' and 'Low' that should make more sense. 2 CSS booboos: - .main-description has 2 font-sizes, the second should be font-weight. - in styles.css the images/line.png image returns a 404 on line 26.

Hello HN peeps. I would like to invite you to a little experiment. I have created probably the smallest niche app on the mac app store and I would like you to help me sell and optimize the marketing around it. Now you might think, "who does this guy think he is? – doesn't he know I have my own business to run?" and you are right it would be unfair to just ask you to help me market my product. So instead I would like…
15.99 is too expensive, IMO, but I guess you can make that decision based on sales data. I would experiment with 4.99. Something else a lot of people don't realize is that mouse acceleration is turned on in OSX and it's 'impossible' to disable without an app like USB Overdrive. Mouse accel is terrible for gaming -- especially FPS. I would add this feature to your product and call it out.
