Couldn't find a option to disable this pesky accessibility feature.
I can understand that this feature is enabled by default to increase accessibility out of the box for all kind of people having problems find the cursor on Retina screens.
But how can I turn it off?
Others are asking same question, yet still unanswered
I haven't seen it work yet, does it only work with the trackpad connected or a laptop? I have it installed on an iMac and haven't seen it.
Probably can disable it with the defaults command some how. Finder plist or .GlobalPreferences or something.
It doesnt sdeem to rely on hardware. I'm using a logitech mouse with mac pro and 1080p acer monitor and its working for me.
I have a MacPro6.1 and a razer ouroborus connected to it. just moving the mouse fast enough (which is easy at high sensitivity settings) lets the cursor grow. When playing games it becomes a real issue.
I have search for every plist file which has the word cursor inside and I couldn't find any property that indicates cursor zoom/growth/shake/etc
Same here - hopefully we'll get a way to disbale it in a future OS update but i might log a radar just in case it gets overlooked.
We need disable option, u don't try to play fps shooter on new engine. With fps killer cursor, those attach you view.
Same problem. It is really annoying when playing games, hope for a switch to stop it.
Yeah, I too feels that this feature is amazingly annoying. I find it rather worying that we're into the third beta and there still aren't any way to disable it. If anything there needs to be some API to temporarily turn it off for certain applications (if there is, at least I have missed it). Especially games are all but broken because of this feature, where it forces an absolutely horrendous user experience.
Extremely annoying, please add an option to remove it!
this is the code:
defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences CGDisableCursorLocationMagnification -bool YES
then restart and login 🙂. cheers.
It is in system preferences under accessibility and monitors
