What is Mouse Acceleration and Why is it Detrimental?
Mouse acceleration dynamically adjusts your mouse sensitivity based on movement speed. Fast movements result in higher sensitivity, slow movements in lower sensitivity. While convenient for general use, this is highly undesirable in shooters like Marvel Rivals.
Consistent sensitivity is key. It allows you to develop muscle memory, leading to better aim. Mouse acceleration prevents this by constantly changing your sensitivity.
Now that mouse acceleration is disabled, you can fully utilize your skills and enjoy a more precise aiming experience in Marvel Rivals.
Marvel Rivals is currently available on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
