What Is Mouse Acceleration & Why Is It Bad For Marvel Rivals?

Mouse acceleration adjusts your cursor's sensitivity based on the speed of your mouse movement. Quick movements result in higher sensitivity, while slow movements result in lower sensitivity. While this can be helpful for general computing, it's detrimental in shooters like *Marvel Rivals*.

In games where precision is key, consistent sensitivity is crucial for developing muscle memory, which enhances aim and overall performance. With mouse acceleration enabled, your sensitivity fluctuates, making it challenging to build and maintain that muscle memory.

Now that you've turned off mouse acceleration, you're set to enjoy playing *Marvel Rivals* with a consistent and reliable sensitivity, allowing you to perform at your best.

Marvel Rivals is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
