Minimize mouse acceleration and smoothing effect
- The mouse curve was improved in patch 1.5.0.[1]
- Disabling acceleration from games menu still leaves some acceleration and smoothing enabled. Disabling all values from configuration file should minimize effect.
- Acceleration cannot be disabled completely.
- Low DPI mice are more susceptible to this issue.

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in
~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/298110/
in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (298110) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
