Pep-up your Mac! Free mac applications for almost everything!

If you are following me on Twitter (CSSJockey or MohitAneja) or Facebook, you must have heard that I recently switched from PC to MAC. “FINALLY”

So far my experience is really good however I had to learn new shortcuts and get familiar with this awesome gadget.

Quick Tip!

If you recently switched from PC to Mac the first thing you will hate is the mouse speed. For me it was a major turn off, however being an explorer, I asked my best friend “Google” and I got the following code which you can write in the Terminal window to increase or decrease the mouse speed.

Here’s the code for the same:

To check the current settings type the following in terminal window

defaults read -g com.apple.mouse.scaling

To overwrite the default settings type the following command and replace “your_mouse_speed” with a numeric value. Higher the number, faster the speed!

defaults write -g com.apple.mouse.scaling your_mouse_speed

I’ve set mine to 33 as I like my mouse to move around this big screen really fast. However you can set the number as per your comfort level.
