Windows 10: Mouse Acceleration in Games

I recently upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7. I didn't have this problem before. So, I upgraded and launched up a game and I realised there was a difference with the mouse sensitivity. It's either mouse acceleration or mouse smoothing. I've already unchecked the "Enhance pointer precision" box in mouse properties. Also, this is only a problem in games. Lastly, this is not just a problem with one game, it's with every game, and I've made sure mouse acceleration - smoothing is turned off in the games.

How to disable Mouse Acceleration?

Hi Alex,

Mouse acceleration can indeed hinder the ability to play games where you need precise aim because it causes your mouse to move not only based on movement, but also on speed. You can disable mouse acceleration by following the steps below:

• Click Start.
• On the search bar, type Control Panel and select Control Panel in the results.
  
• If you are in Category view, click Hardware and Sound.
• Under Devices and Printers, click Mouse to open the
  Mouse Properties window
  
• Click the Pointer Options tab, and uncheck the box next to
  Enhance pointer precision.
• Click Apply, then OK.

If you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to post a reply.

 

How to disable Mouse Acceleration?

Hello,

I was playing a game called Starmade earlier this week. I have been having problems using certain things like tools and weapons. I've contacted the game support and so far we've concluded the problem is the mouse acceleration is messing with the game.
He said I needed to disable Mouse Acceleration to fix the problem.

My question is fairly simple, how do I disable Mouse Acceleration

If it helps, I use windows 10.

Thanks if you could help.

Cheap mouse with little acceleration needed

Low acceleration / no acceleration mice are generally not in the cheapest segments. Simple mice are, of course.

I use a Zowie FK1, relatively small mouse (which may suit a woman's hands), there are thumb buttons but they don't stick out so you won't notice them, and it is a perfect sensor (3390 I believe) / zero acceleration mouse. You pay a little bit more, but it's a nice piece of gear and a professional gaming mouse, which also has modest DPI settings (400-1200 and steps between) and is plug and play, no software. I'm still really enjoying it, well worth the money.
