It's been highlighted at Bnet forum.

it could be due to the high res mouse
it could due to the fact that even if you disabled mouse acceleration in SC2, the mouse acceleration in macOS is still in effect.

i havent try cheapo wired mouse yet

i also have the same problem..when i play sc2 in my macbook pro using a razer mouse. it flys like hell even i set the sensitivity very low..where else when i play it on my windows desktop..no problem..how come?

practically useless, no offence if u ask me.

I usually have 1 bar brightness only, yeah, mentally makes me feel that the mbp is going to last longer.

and i charge 3 times a week. monday wednesday, and friday, usually friday i leave it attached with the magsafe until monday morning.

this way safes alot of power, if can dun use the wifi, use ur workplace com, unless u need to send out emails or important stuffs when u r outdoor like lunch or late dinner.

that link was about battery calibration. how is that useless? sad.gif

1 bar brightness really does save battery...not only mentally heheh. same goes to wifi. but i hope u dont refrain urself from using full brightness n wifi even when u're plugged in right?

currently running on macbook pro with backlite keyboard on..the feeling is so great..the screen is so bright..I only use level 1 out of 16 because no need to maximize the screen color because it is good already compared to my old dell inspiron 6400..also backlite keyboard at level 1 out of 16..what more..really excited because this is first time use mac..I think leopard snow osx is a bit slow in boot time compared to previous leopard because I have seen the previous boot time in youtube..really fast..but it is maybe good for graphic people..also I quite shock because the microsoft word is different than windows version..I really know zero about mac before..the battery now is 56 percentage with remaining 4 hours..I think maybe can up for 8 hours if fully charged..hurm maybe will try to learn more on how to edit picture or video..BTW,,I'm study degree in finance..so I don't use application likes adobe,,but seems like I want to give a try..so it is really worth it pay rm3899 for this lappy..I get mighty mouse..oppsss..ordinary mouse plus,,keyboard protector as a free gift..

Talking about screen brightness... I cannot stand the screen auto-adjust feature especially since I usually keep my environment pretty dark .....so I turn it off on my MBP whether if it is plugged in or running on battery.

Can't stand the auto-adjust on the iPhone either. I like my screens retina-burning bright. cool2.gif

hi all..

my ethernet port on my mac seem to have a problem, didnt detect cable, been using WiFi all these while. I thinking about sending it to service center for a repair.

How long does it take to fix the ethernet port? where is the recommended place for that?

thanks in advance..

im using razer orochi, and notice that u need to change some option in razer preferences..what i always do is, i just uncheck the 'Enable Acceleration' box, then check the box back, then wohoo the mouse back to normal..but i need to do it every time i boot into mac, which is quite annoying..dunno if there are special way to overcome the prob.

and i wondered why the brightness setting changes all the time sweat.gif

anyway, for me it's love and hate. maybe it will get to a point that irritates me for manual brightness adjustment one day
