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 slower movements lower it. While this feature can be helpful for general computing, it's detrimental in competitive shooters like *Marvel Rivals*.

In games like *Marvel Rivals*, consistent sensitivity is crucial for developing muscle memory, which significantly enhances your aiming accuracy. With mouse acceleration enabled, your sensitivity fluctuates, making it nearly impossible to build that essential muscle memory.

Now that you've disabled mouse acceleration, you can enjoy playing your favorite *Marvel Rivals* characters with a more predictable and linear sensitivity.

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