Detecting mouse acceleration

Question

I am looking for a program working on Microsoft Windows 7 that can detect or test the presence of mouse acceleration.

Answer 1

You could just put the javascript from @BarathVutukuri comment into a simple text file saved as html and wrap it in a tag; though you might need to put the speed result into an alert or something.

Alternatively this would not be difficult to code in a short C# app.

<span id="mousespeed"></span>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://omnipotent.net/jquery.sparkline/2.1.1/jquery.sparkline.min.js">
</script>
<script>
function drawMouseSpeedDemo() {
    var mrefreshinterval = 500; // update display every 500ms
    var lastmousex=-1; 
    var lastmousey=-1;
    var lastmousetime;
    var mousetravel = 0;
    var mpoints = [];
    var mpoints_max = 30;
    $('html').mousemove(function(e) {
        var mousex = e.pageX;
        var mousey = e.pageY;
        if (lastmousex > -1) {
            mousetravel += Math.max( Math.abs(mousex-lastmousex), Math.abs(mousey-lastmousey) );
        }
        lastmousex = mousex;
        lastmousey = mousey;
    });
    var mdraw = function() {
        var md = new Date();
        var timenow = md.getTime();
        if (lastmousetime && lastmousetime!=timenow) {
            var pps = Math.round(mousetravel / (timenow - lastmousetime) * 1000);
            mpoints.push(pps);
            if (mpoints.length > mpoints_max)
                mpoints.splice(0,1);
            mousetravel = 0;
            $('#mousespeed').sparkline(mpoints, { width: mpoints.length*2, tooltipSuffix: ' pixels per second' });
        }
        lastmousetime = timenow;
        setTimeout(mdraw, mrefreshinterval);
    }
    // We could use setInterval instead, but I prefer to do it this way
    setTimeout(mdraw, mrefreshinterval); 
};
drawMouseSpeedDemo();
</script>
