What is Raw Accel? How Does it Work?
Raw Accel is a third-party application that works ”sort of” like the windows mouse acceleration settings. However, the windows mouse acceleration follows a linear pattern while increasing mouse sensitivity based on your input.
Moreover, it is not customizable, meaning you can not modify the settings based on your personal preference and playstyle. So, it is almost as ineffective for competitive play, and most players opt out of using the windows mouse acceleration option.
Contrarily, Raw Accel gives you plenty of customization options within the program. There are already some preset curves, such as Linear Classic and Natural, that you can choose from the given options. This way, you don’t have to customize the settings if it seems like too much work for you.
However, you can also customize several variables such as your Mouse Acceleration, Weight, Offset, and more, allowing you to fine-tune your Raw Accel settings that are personally suited for you.
