The mice on Macs are speed sensitive, just as you describe the NeXT mice.
I wouldn't want it any other way.  The Macs do allow you to set the sensitivity
of the mouse however (perhaps this is what you meant).

Give the non-linear mouse a chance.  Most people I know like the non-linear
Mac-mice (once they get used to them) and some even are looking for ways
to INCREASE the sensitivity.
