Good news, everyone! Povohat found another method to perform mouse acceleration!
Using the interception library/driver, povohat wrote a program that reads in mouse inputs and modifies them using the same variables and math as his other driver. Basically, this means we now have a mouse acceleration driver that no longer requires test mode.
We've been testing the acceleration program/implementation for a few weeks now, but I only got around to adapting the GUI for it yesterday. I've been passing out builds to people looking for any issues, and so far it seems good. Here is the latest test build (or mega.nz mirror). If you find anything wrong, let me know!
(01/03/16 fixes: Added support for 2000hz mice in graphing, fixed crash that happened during Windows startup, and tweaked timing of starting new instance of interaccel.exe when using global hotkeys (to avoid short duration of all accel being off). Thanks nGolf and The Man for the troubleshooting!)
(12/19/15 bug fix: opening profiles no longer makes the GUI become useless. Thanks nGolf for the troubleshooting!)
Installation instructions are contained in the readme.txt. The only hiccups we've noted so far are when the driver doesn't install properly. Some antivirus products seem to sandbox the download and prevents it from installing, so keep an eye out for error messages. Notable changes to the GUI include:

Some antivirus products seem to sandbox the download and prevents it from installing, so keep an eye out for error messages. Notable changes to the GUI include:
- Added tooltips for all numeric inputs.
- Added hyperlinks to this blog and www.mouse-sensitivity.com.
- Added customization wizard to help newcomers have a starting point. (Calculates accel and post-scale values based on your DPI, sets sens-cap to 2).
Ewh from esreality was kind enough to test the input lag of this method of acceleration versus not having it installed. The raw data is here, and we were happy to discover that the interception driver doesn't add any input lag! His methodology for testing is the same as this post on esreality.
Next steps to take are: further testing to verify that the GUI isn't broken horribly, get feedback from people on how the wizard settings feel (they aren't too far off from what I'm using, just that they scale to your DPI), and contact anticheat vendors to make sure that the intercept library isn't on a blacklist of sorts for them. The last thing I want is to have anyone get banned for using our mouse accel implementation, but it seems unlikely that it would happen.
Note regarding anticheat: It has been over a year since we put this out, and many people have been using it on many games and anticheat services. None have detected any cheats related to the interception driver (nor should they). There was a DM on a forum in Feb 2015 of an ESEA admin suggesting to not use this driver, but I know multiple people who have been using the driver on ESEA for multiple months without issues. Absolutely no problems have been reported with Blizzard's Warden, VAC, Punkbuster, Fairfight, or anything else.
