Interception VS InterAccel

Compare Interception vs InterAccel and see what are their differences.

Interception

The Interception API aims to build a portable programming interface that allows one to intercept and control a range of input devices. (by oblitum)

InterAccel

  • Does anyone make a "modern" Trackpoint/Poinitng stick with a higher DPI?
    1 project | /r/modelm | 30 Apr 2023
    Anyway, most new Lenovo ThinkPads have TrackPoint IV (versus the original TrackPoint II used in the Model M4-1, IBM-brand Model M13 and most early ThinkPads). The crucial difference between TrackPoint II and IV (and III) is a negative inertia function that significantly improved performance. To my knowledge, Lenovo TrackPoints are still PS/2 devices. This means that any PS/2 Model M with an integrated pointing device and a PS/2 passthrough port (such as PS/2 EnduraPro) can be retrofitted with a newer stick by using the passthrough port daughterboard inside as an easy solder point. The challenge would be extending the stick to the needed length without compromising performance. I never tried such a mod though since InterAccel for Windows was able to boost the old TrackPoints to an acceptable performance for me. But what I said should be theoretically possible. Iirc, Troy @ Unicomp once told us in a QnA that he's heard of a modern stick being retrofitted into an EnduraPro before.

  • I cant play!! (Interception Driver)
    2 projects | /r/QuakeChampions | 16 Nov 2022
    I recall having an issue with this a few years ago when I switched from using InterAccel to RawAccel. It turned out that the Kovaak package for InterAccel contained Interception driver version 1.0.0. However, there's a 1.0.1 version of the Interception driver that had fixed a bug to do with uninstalling.
  • People that own and use a Model M13, do you use it alongside a mouse/trackball or instead of a mouse/trackball.
    3 projects | /r/modelm | 17 Oct 2022
    You could try InterAccel as mentioned by /u/SharktasticA above.
  • Some more IBM Model M13 photos (ft. 1998 Maxi Switch & 2004 Unicomp)

    For the black one (which has an IBM TrackPoint II stick), it's okay but the lack of negative inertia - the feature that makes TrackPoint III and current IV faster - is noticeable. The mouse buttons are on the gummy side. For the beige one (which has a Lexmark/Unicomp FSR stick), it's not great but Unicomp has at least improved the mouse buttons considerably. In both cases, InterAccel for Windows makes a huge difference. leetmouse seems to be the Linux equivalent but I haven't experimented with it yet.
  • Is there a way to make the aiming more linear?
    2 projects | /r/Warframe | 25 May 2022
    The program you seek to fix it to your liking (you'll do lots of trial error to find your own curve/linear) is called https://github.com/a1xd/rawaccel which is a fork of https://github.com/KovaaK/InterAccel by the most notorious gamer in these matters. Youtube has some videos on how to use each program (very different approaches, same method) so find and watch them to learn.
  • I don't understand mouse acceleration. How does it work?

    What i am trying to achieve is Linear mouse acceleration as i could with RawAccel and InterAccel https://github.com/KovaaK/InterAccel under windows.
  • Looking for more mouse acceleration customization

    I like to use a linear acceleration curve on windows for competitive gaming and am looking to use something similar on Ubuntu 21.10.
