because it detaches your pointer device's position from that of your virtual pointer
it's an inorganic shitshow that goes against how we use mice, and it's frankly bizarre anyone ever even came up with it, when its only purpose is to undermine THE reason we use mice, and the main original innovation of mice
Totally agree, I always hated this shit. You move a little fast and the cursor suddenly goes crazy. Seems that a lot of people only knew this shit and think this is just how a mouse works.
But at least in Windows there is a checkbox to disable it. In Linux there is not... To disable it you have to use the terminal and enter some lines in a protected file, and the lines are different depending on which distro you use.... How fricking moronic!!!!!!!!
>different software works in different ways
well if it isn't milky fricking holmes on the scene, what's next, you're going to tell me OP loves wieners?
>different software works in different ways
Having to use the terminal and enter obscure lines in a protected file for something that SHOULD be just a checkbox is not "working differently".
>all this for fricking mouse acceleration
I understand the necessity of people making programs like this, that there needs to be one lunatic to sperg out over minute shit like this to better the world for everyone else by furthering the technology and understanding; but it doesn't change how fricking loud I sigh when I see it. Like, just do fricking anything else. Hurr hurr I know I'm posting on IQfy, but something about the "productivity" Black folk just infuriates me. JUST WORK. YOU DON'T NEED TO ADJUST YOUR FRICKING MOUSE ACCELERATION TO BE IN PERFECT FIBONACCI FOR EVERY FIVE PIXELS TRAVELED.

If you're playing games, you want to turn mouse acceleration off entirely.

yes, if you're talking about exponential acceleration and not controllable, linear acceleration that you can tweak to your ideal with the above tool.
it works very well. trust me, i'm a thousand times better at fps games than you are.
Mouse Acceleration would make sense on small touchpads. one example: sometime you want to highlight on some long text or dragging a huge selection bounding box, if your initial click-drag on the touchpad doesnt get far enough to highlight the whole thing, you can just pull back your drag slowly, then push forward again quickly so you're now further than where you were before. without acceleration, this manoever will only put your cursor in the same spot repeatably so your only fix is to cancel the drag and increase your touchpad sensitivity for the occasion. but then what if you need fine cursor control later? checkmate, chuds.
ChromeOS have this neat feature where Touchpad Acceleration is separate from USB Mouse Acceleration. i have them on and off respectively.
It allows you to move your mouse pointer from one end of the screen to the other without either having to drag your mouse across half the table or having a twitchy ass mouse pointer.
What are you fricking on about, why wouldn't you use it?
It's.... it's not good.
>It's.... it's not good.
Is this some kind of zoomer or millennial brain damage where they believe other people and repeat what they are saying?
>gets angry because someone insulted mouse acceleration
He's probably a gamer brainlet. They believe stupid things like mouse acceleration isn't deterministic.
Because you said so?

Actually... it is... lil' zoomie...
Okay 4chooner... your contrarianism... has rotted your brain...
Try using raw input with a ball mouse.

please refer to the actual sentence anon posted
different distros having different configuration methods is a given
I was shocked to learn that KDE finally fixed this at some point, you can disable pointer acceleration in the GUI
mouse computer, how could you betray me?
>follow instruction on how to disable acceleration in New Vegas
>it doesn't work
It was me.
I did it only to frick with you, as a joke.
Undo it, now.
Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Mouse accel can be good if you configure it for yourself

it's not for "productivity" it's for gaming so you can enjoy the benefits of slow sensitivity and fast sensitivity at the same time

Wrong board
bold of you to assume these people have any work to do
>Mouse accel can be good
How? Why would I ever need that?
I like it in games where my avatar's weapons have mass.
Sucks for pumpkin-on-a-stick, but like, DoD:s, I can slang that BAR around like a boss.
>try to disable mouse acceleration in Linux
>there's still acceleration
>spend hours with different ways
>still there
Yep. Back to Windows.
linux isn't an operating system
You mean "Enhance pointer precision"?
>being such a chronic 4chooner your contrarianism causes you to turn on mouse acceleration
You know for someone who claims to be "immune to propaganda" you sure are easily manipulated by basic reverse psychology.
because very slow, low resolution mice suck for moving the cursor substantial distances
it's for crappy mice
here's a real, non-bait answer:

Are you one of those hyperactive homosexuals who has their mouse setup so the cursor moves 1.5 screens if you move the mouse 1 mm?
It allows you to move your mouse pointer from one end of the screen to the other without either having to drag your mouse across half the table or having a twitchy ass mouse pointer.
on windows it's perfect
on linux its impossible
