Hi,
Most
people use a linear profile as far as I can tell, especially with dc motors. The
reason for this is that the grip provided by the tires is constant, so if your
motors are powerful enough your mouse should be able to sustain a linear
profile in a straight line run. However a few stepper motor mice sometimes find
that its beneficial to reduce acceleration at higher
speeds due to a significant reduction in torque.

Subject: Acceleration profile of
mice
Hi,
I wondered what acceleration profile most mice are using.
Is linear acceleration the norm, or is anyone using something more elaborate
like an e^x graph shape?
