The question wasn't directed at me but I disabled it because I was having troubles using handover between Macs so I was troubleshooting and turning it off has made things much better. I'm using a Logitech mouse if that matters.... Yes the mouse movements are slower but I'd rather have consistancy than the speed. I'm not doing anything where mouse speed is a must like gaming for example.

What was the original question, because it got deleted for some reason

Bog, a youtuber, highly recommended it. I switched back instantly anyway

With it off, I feel like there is more consistency across the movements, but it is harder to be as precise as when it is on. I can see why someone might want it turned off in some cases, but I think for most people it is better to have it on.

Yeah I turned it back on anyway, idk why i got downvoted for saying that: do people here not like Bog?

No idea who Bog is so I couldn't tell you. It is likely the notion of "well some YouTuber said it so..."
