How to Disable Mouse Acceleration in Marvel Rivals

 

Marvel Rivals is an upcoming team-based superhero shooter that combines the fast-paced action of hero-based combat with strategic gameplay. To gain a competitive edge, precise aiming is essential. One of the key settings that can interfere with accuracy is mouse acceleration. This guide will walk you through how to disable mouse acceleration in Marvel Rivals and ensure a smoother aiming experience.

Why Turn Off Mouse Acceleration?

Mouse acceleration causes the cursor or crosshair to move faster based on how quickly you move your mouse. While this can be useful for general computing, it often hinders precise aiming in competitive games like Marvel Rivals. Disabling mouse acceleration ensures:

• Consistent Movement: Your crosshair moves the same distance regardless of mouse speed.
• Better Muscle Memory: Helps develop consistent aiming habits.
• Increased Accuracy: Improves your shot precision during high-intensity combat.
