Apple - How to increase "tracking speed" beyond the maximum?
The value of the preference is stored in ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
and can be changed with something like defaults write -g com.apple.trackpad.scaling -float 5.0
. The normal maximum value is currently 3.0
. Applying the changes requires logging out and back in.
For those who come here searching for mouse speed up (as me), change the command/property mentioned on the answer of @user495470 to com.apple.mouse.scaling
.
So:
defaults write -g com.apple.mouse.scaling -float 5.0
is what you're looking for.
Here is @Kodos Johnson :)
BetterTouchTool does that, and lets you add application specific gestures as well!
I don't think I could use a mac without it, at this point. I have my browser-tab-management and finder shortcuts mapped to multitouch gestures.
