Closest wheel acceleration to IntelliPoint for non-MS mice?
Posted: 17 Mar 2018, 00:04
For years, I've been using Microsoft mice, and at home I also used IntelliPoint for its wheel scrolling acceleration.
Years ago, due to a bug in IntelliPoint, I tried to find a replacement wheel scrolling accelerator for Windows. Everything I found worked by duplicating wheel events, and to make this work, you have to reduce the lines-per-notch count from the default of 3, down to 1.
Unfortunately I have some old programs that have 3 lines per notch hard-coded, so these are of no use to me.
IntelliPoint does something special that makes it work reliably with everything, and what I'm looking for is a program that replicates what IntelliPoint does, but that works with my new Cherry mouse. IntelliPoint helpfully does not recognise non-Microsoft mice, which it should as recompense for the years of pain dealing with those shoddy products.
I just found a program that does something similar, written in AutoHotkey, but the algorithm is terrible, and it's buggy (it started scrolling backwards at one point, and the acceleration sticks for too long). IntelliPoint's wheel acceleration just worked perfectly, and I assume it even worked in elevated processes.
