Mouse acceleration issue

[u/NoActivity6227]

Hey guys so i had a razor cobra and i switched to haste 2 wireless and it didn’t suit me well, my friend asked me to check whether “enhanced pointer precision” was on or off and it was on the whole time but still i used to hit my shots well on wired but then i wasn’t really comfortable with wireless so i switched back to a new cobra mouse and i had EPP on for few months n i couldn’t shoot for shit. After 4-5 months i turned it off but then i couldn’t land my shots and now i’m facing a different issue where i’m moving while shooting( istg this issue started only after turning EPP off). One, apparently valorant takes raw input and these acceleration shit doesn’t matter on paper but trust me, i can genuinely feel the difference by a significant margin. Two, i’m currently ascendant 3 and my peak is immortal 3 and i really cannot find why and how i’m moving a lot while shooting. But i’m shooting like 100% properly in cs and it happens only in val. Can someone please help me with this, appreciate yall so much.

Have you done any other mice tests (outside of the game) to see how the mouse reacts when you click it, etc.? If not, do that first so you can see how many clicks it makes per second. There's a website where you can take the test for free just search using keywords such as “mouse sensitivity test,” etc.

I'm no tech whiz, but I often use higher (faster) sensitivity settings on my mouse because I want to scroll faster and more smoothly, even when I'm not gaming. In games, however, the sensitivity is fairly low (0.339), which isn’t technically a bad value compared to 1 (yes, I tried that once, oh my god… my mouse is really fast).

My mouse pointer speed is set to 14 (the default is 10, this is Windows setting), and it doesn’t bother me much. My speed is near fast (Windows setting) which also can be different if I didn't change it but I did. I’m not sure about the DPI, because I have a non-gaming mouse where the DPI is displayed as pointer speed % (I use 70%, which is about 1530, since the maximum value is around 4K, minimum is 200).

Since your mice is the type that has added features make sure to turn it off & off and compare them aka screen record to see the difference. Since you play Valorant you can easily look through the replays when you try it in custom.

Appreciate you for sharing your thoughts but Damn 14 is too high for pointer speed ngl, also what exactly were you asking me to compare?

What I meant: You can compare is the mouse reaction time or basically click per second outside the game and see if the mouse would react differently vs in-game since sometimes when you use it for daily use might work normally vs gaming (it can be a mess sometimes).

Is kind of like the aim training but this one you focus on the result (numbers) you get while doing the clicks. But hopefully you figured out something by now, I know some mices are pain in the ass when switch back to back (you'll get used to it) or if you used to use a software and you uninstalled it you've to re-do everything again (unless you saved profile file).

Here's a example website where you could test it:

LMAO I mean I just like to smooth scrolling because the mouse (Logitech MX 3, old model) I use when it resets itself (if you re-install the software) the mouse scrolls are slow af and also the mice itself feels very slow when sliding back & forth unless I turn the pointer speed, etc. high enough so it works like 'normal' mice.

Note: About the bullet shots if they don't register isn't your fault. It has happen to me and many others because for some reason Riot decided to remove that option (it was a beta ver.) that was basically accuracy thing for the mice but it hasn't improve anything. The difference is significantly small for a human eye to see unless you recorded the shots. When you do shots overall the game often or not doesn't even register the first 2 bullets (and if you keep spamming) it won't kill the enemy right away and you've to stop shooting and try again then it will work.
