Magic Mouse Variable Tracking Speed is a Real Problem

I already have my mouse tracking set to the highest possible track rate. But Apple seems to have built in some sort of "smart" motion tracking technology that slows the mouse way down when it senses the mouse movement slowing. Can we knock this off? The variable mouse tracking speed causes me to undershoot my selection target. Is there any way to turn this ridiculous feature off?

Logitec G604 Mouse Very Low Tracking Speed Hello I also purchased a Logitech G604 using it on a Mac Book Pro. It was fine in the beginning, but then the tracking speed diminished SIGNIFICANTLY - I need to lift the mouse in order to get from one end of the screen to the middle, not even the end. I had installed GHub but I found it not useful (not a gamer, I just needed a precise, silent and anatomic mouse for office use), so I uninstalled it. Can you please help? I paid a considerable amount (over 100Euro) and this mouse is not even doing what it is supposed to be doing: scrolling! Thank you

Wired Mouse Tracking Speed with Ventura I can't believe this hasn't been an issue for anyone but I can't find anything about it here or elsewhere. I have a wired mouse connected to my M1 MBP (I don't have a wireless one, got sick of batteries) and want to change the tracking speed. For some insane reason Apple decided to only allow you to do this with wireless mice; see below. Why??? Is there some work-around for wired mice? CLI defaults? Change Mouse settings on Mac Use Mouse settings to change how your mouse interacts with your Mac. For example, use gestures to scroll long lists and web pages, and use screen zoom to make onscreen images larger. Note: A wireless mouse must be connected with your Mac to display the settings listed below.

Faster mouse scrolling I need to modify the scrolling speed on an Apple bluetooth mouse. Latest Ventura, iMacPro. The Settings>mouse has no option to speed movement up e.g. scroll more of a window say on Safari. I have tracking speed to maximum and scrolling to natural. Any help appreciated. Thx
