Windows 10: Windows Mouse Acceleration

Dear [Microsoft Support/Developer Community/Expert],I hope this message finds you well.I am conducting research on the mouse input behavior in legacy versions of Windows, specifically Windows 95 and Windows 98. I am particularly interested in the technical details of the mouse acceleration curve used in these operating systems. While general information about the threshold-based acceleration is known, there is no official documentation available on the exact mathematical formula or curve that governs how the acceleration behaves between and beyond the thresholds.Could you kindly provide any do

:)

 

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.

 

Mouse Acceleration in Games

Good day ! I am an independent adviser here to help you!

You've already done the 1 step needed to turn off mouse acceleration, at least as far as Windows 10 is concerned. Turning off pointer precision > apply > ok > Restart PC is how you turn it off completely.

The only other thing you can do is use a 3rd party program like MarkC Windows mouse acceleration fix. I do not know if it works or how it works so I won't link it here, but its simple to find.

 

Windows 10 Mouse acceleration vs Windows 11 mouse acceleration

Thanks for the reply, the mouse sensitivity is fine, I have it set to the same values as windows 10 but whats different is the mouse acceleration curve values so I'm wondering if the windows 10 mouse acceleration curve settings are public so I can set it to the windows 10 equivalent using raw accel software.
