Features at a Glance

User-definable Hotkey

One of the most relevant features in version 2.0 is the ability to alternate between 2 profiles using an user-definable HotKey.

Alternating between acceleration profiles can be accomplished in 2 different ways:

Mode 1: Activates alternative profile after Hotkey is released
Mode 2: Activates alternative profile while Hotkey is pressed

System Notifications

SmoothCursor will display a system notification every time a different profile is activated using Growl or Mountain Lion's (10.8) Notification Center (This feature is optional and can be disabled by the user.)

And More

Streamlined user interface
Always one-click away
Supported acceleration ranges: normal acceleration (>0 to 6), no acceleration (0), inverse acceleration (-6 to <0)
Automatically start at login (user-definable)
Special enforce mode (preserves user acceleration settings even if some other processes try to change them)

International

SmoothCursor comes with built-in support for English, German, French, Spanish, Catalan, Russian, Japanese (日本語), Simplified Chinese (简体中文), and Traditional Chinese (繁體中文)!
