Cross-platform Productivity (Win10/macOS)

[2OS1Mouse]

Hello, hope this is the right forum. I'm trying to adjust between Windows 10 and macOS. I use a SteelSeries Sensei RAW mouse. I thought installing the SteelSeries Engine would make each platform feel identical, but my muscle memory is totally useless going between the two (simple things like closing windows and checking boxes). How can I use the tool on this site to get the same mousing action on both platforms? I am willing to re-learn/re-adjust to a new feel, but I want it to be identical on both OSs. Thank you.

mac os has a different acceleration curve than windows (as far as i am aware) should be able to make them both linear through settings

I'm not sure how MacOS scale the sensitivity to their quite high resolutions, but I can check in a couple of ways. It might just be 1:1 (1 DPI = 1 pixel) if so you can just use the resolution as a direct multiplier for the sensitivity. And as @fortunate reee says acceleration must be off.

Hi DPI Wizard, what do you mean by multiplier in this context? And how is it related acceleration?

Acceleration must be off if you want to get the same sensitivity.

I've checked a iMac 5k now, and from what I can tell the sensitivity changes with the display scaling. The default for the 5k was 200% (2560x1440), while the highest was 160% (3200x1800). I don't know how it scales on different systems, and what the other scaling options are. But if you find out this is what you need to match it with Windows.

By multiplier I mean the relation between the resolution. So for instance if you're using 1000 DPI in Windows is with 1920x1080 and MacOS is 3200x1800, you do 3200/1920*1000=1667 DPI in MacOS.
