Disable mouse acceleration in Windows (and why)

March 27, 2026 · 8 min read

If your frames feel inconsistent, the problem is rarely a single setting — it's the stack. This guide walks the full chain from Windows to GPU to peripherals so the gains actually hold under load.

Kill input latency at the source

End-to-end latency is the metric that actually decides duels — not raw FPS. Reflex/Anti-Lag, a sane FPS cap and high polling all stack here.

Enable NVIDIA Reflex (or the AMD equivalent) where supported, run your mouse at 1000Hz+ and disable any 'enhance pointer precision' acceleration in Windows.

  • NVIDIA Reflex → On + Boost (if available)
  • Mouse polling → 1000Hz minimum (8000Hz on supported sensors)
  • Windows pointer acceleration → Off
  • Fullscreen (exclusive) over borderless where the game allows it
// The TL;DR
  • NVIDIA Reflex → On + Boost (if available)
