I notice pretty much every single console game forces mouse acceleration. Now even PC games would have a mouse acceleration option. Does anyone actually use this feature. I know Macs actually force mouse acceleration everywhere. Mouse acceleration seems to be the future. But I honestly hate it. Am I the odd one out? since the general trend suggest so.
I hate it so much. My friend turned it on for fun once. I'm getting shot, and i'm trying to spin my mouse around to kill him. The god dam mouse goes flying off my target and I end up getting killed because of it.
Don't use it. I guess it's added to help if you have a low dpi mouse but when i had one i just upped sensitivity
no I don't, because I am a real gamer, not some casual gaming fan who plays the game of the future, aka farmville
Never actually tried it. Just the idea of it sounds stupid. I want my mouse motion to be constant, not accelerate based on how fast i'm moving the mouse.
It's so easy to flip my wrist and do a 180. But with acceleration, it makes it harder. So I don't use it.
I used to use it. It's got it's advantages in shooters as well. 180 degree turns without having to move your arm that big a distance has its advantages. It takes practice, though. nowadays I don't use it. I stopped using it when I started dropping the speed of my mouse in shooters (like - down to 800dpi or so), simply because little "nervous" jitters get filtered better then...
Hell no! I guess it's ON by default on a fresh install of Windows, and it really drives me nuts when I forget to turn it off and then wonder what the heck is happening.
never use it in desktop or gaming. but do love it on laptop trackpad for non-gaming. and i HATE it so much for desktop use, i can't get used to Mac mouse. when you turn up Mac's mouse sensitivity slider, it also multiply the mouse acceleration, so only way to avoid it is to use a good mouse (read good, not Apple mouse at 800dpi) at 2000dpi or higher.
I use the low setting on my mx510, also set at fast on the speed setting, feels too slow with no acceleration and a lower speed. It feels very weird if i up the acceleration settings to medium or high, the mouse moves to far, with it off it doesn't move enough, guess I'm just used to it set up like this after all these years
there's a difference between the mouse acceleration of windows and the one from a game. I tried disabling the one in windows once (by tweaking XP) as well as the one in UT and it didn't take long before my wrist was killing me. It's actually much harder to play that way in games however it's a must to disable it
