When I scroll in Mac OS X, I have to turn the mouse wheel several times where the scrolling on the computer is very small, and then at the end it jumps a huge distance. This doesn't happen on every app. Firefox has a plugin called SmoothWheel that prevents it from happening, but I'd like to know how I can do it on other apps as well. Does anyone know? Is there a way?

I installed this: https://mos.caldis.me/
Seems to be the easiest option. Just have to change the inverse setting back to normal.
I also use Logitech options and doesn't seem to interfere with it.

I had the same issue and just discovered a fix in this SU post. Basically the jumpyness is caused by the new scroll acceleration, introduced in Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8). User Jfdno created an app which disables it and you can find a fork of it on github: https://github.com/davekeck/DisableExtremeScrollAcceleration

Two things come to mind:
- You can try playing with the mouse scrolling setting in system preferences (but you've already tried this, right?)
- See if there are mouse drivers made for your specific mouse by the manufacturer. For example, Logitech has mouse drivers for their products in many cases that give more refined scrolling (and other) control.
