This is great. Scroll Reverser + scroll acceleration fix in one app. If you can also figure out cursor acceleration, you'll have a hit. The only app that correctly disables cursor acceleration is SteelSeries ExactMouse.

I have to try this. I already have a reverser (how on earth is this not the default, and not even an OS option to begin with?!?) but scrolling with the wheel on a usb mouse jumps randomly. Crossing fingers this may help there.

+1, ExactMouse is a must for me as a macOS non-Magic mouse user. Would love for this tool to replace SteelSeries's app too.

SteerMouse does this just fine, and has for years and years. I can't use a Mac without it.

I've been using Mos[0] for this. Don't be scared away by the language in the README, it supports an English UI.
