How to change the parameters of accelerating the movement of the mouse cursor in Mac OS

Those who tried to play games using a mouse on a poppy probably noticed the “wonderful” effect that had long been thought up in the depths of Apple's company for slow computers - namely, the dynamic change in the acceleration of the mouse cursor.
What this leads to - if you move the mouse slightly - then everything works as usual. But if you only move the mouse 1-1.5 cm and miracles begin - instead of the expected linear movement - we see a sharp jump.
For example, in the game Counter Strike, this leads to the fact that instead of aiming, you turn 180 degrees.

I studied this question long enough. There are many pages on the Internet where this effect is described, but there is no simple solution to the problem. It is offered to use various paid and not so utilities.
The company Apple writes to this question in its own style, i.e. The problem is contrived and does not exist.

However, everything can be solved much easier. Updating a single parameter in the list using the command line.
I have not seen a single description of the correct solution in Russian, so I decided to write this article.
It took the community a few years to solve the problem.
The solution runs on the latest Yosemite OS.
Checked by me.

Run the following command in the Mac OS terminal:
defaults write .GlobalPreferences com.apple.mouse.scaling -1
')
All my congratulations. Finally, you can safely work and play.

In order not to be unfounded - here are links to the description of the problem and a suggestion for its solution.
