How to disable mouse acceleration in windows 7. Computer mouse acceleration

Any professional Counter-Strike player knows perfectly well that mouse acceleration interferes with normal aiming and can play a cruel joke at the most crucial moment of the battle. You yourself could get into a situation where the scope for no reason starts to rotate wildly, and your hero shoots in the wrong place.

Moreover, this statement is true for any version of the popular shooter (1.6, Source, GO). So, if you want to benefit your team, you will definitely have to turn off the interfering option. But first, let's try to figure out what acceleration is and why it negatively affects the gameplay.

Purpose of acceleration

Mouse acceleration is needed to control how fast the cursor moves across the screen. In other words, the faster you move the mouse over the table, the faster the cursor will move. This feature is included in Windows by default, so in most cases the average user simply does not pay attention to it.

As for computer games, acceleration is even useful for many of them. For example, in strategies, you can quickly move the cursor around the screen and control your units in this way. But with shooters, things are different.

Imagine that the enemy comes to you from the side and you need to quickly turn to him. At this very moment, acceleration is triggered and your character, instead of aiming at the enemy, begins to spin around its axis. Agree, a rather unpleasant situation, which, by the way, is quite common in Counter-Strike. That is why you have no choice but to turn off mouse acceleration, otherwise you will constantly lose.

Disabling Acceleration in Windows

As mentioned above, acceleration is natively enabled in Windows. The developers thought that in this way they would increase the convenience for users, but they did not think that it would be uncomfortable to play shooters because of this. Therefore, before disabling mouse acceleration in CS: GO (well, or any other version of the game), you need to turn it off in the operating system settings. And for this:

  1. Go to the control panel and in the "View" tab select the "Large icons" option.
  2. Now open the Mouse category and switch to the Pointer Options section.
  3. Here you need to find the option "Enable enhanced pointer precision" and deselect it (uncheck it).
  4. After that, confirm the changes and close the control panel.

That's it, you have disabled mouse acceleration. At the same time, while working with the operating system, you will not notice much difference, but it will become much more convenient to play. True, before starting the next battle in CS, you will also need to turn off acceleration in the game itself, but this will be discussed below.

Acceleration in CS 1.6

Good old Counter-Strike 1.6 is still popular, despite the fact that it was released a long time ago. Oddly enough, in this part, gamers have problems with mouse acceleration. CS 1.6, unfortunately, is not replete with settings, so you will have to disable the annoying option by editing the shortcut parameters. You can do this in the following way:

  1. Click on the shortcut with the right mouse button and go to "Properties".
  2. By default, you should have the Shortcut tab open. If it is not, then you need to manually switch to it.
  3. Now pay attention to the line "Object", because it is you who will have to edit it. Just add the line "-noforcemaccel -noforcemparms -noforcemspd" (without quotes) here and save the changes.

You just have to go into the game and make sure that the changes have taken effect. To do this, simply run any card, and if everything is done correctly, you will notice the difference in a few minutes.

Acceleration in CS: Source

The developers of Counter-Strike: Source have done a tremendous amount of work on the bugs. Here you will find updated graphics, improved physics, and an expanded arsenal of weapons. In general, igrodely did their best and gave fans of shooters a really high-quality project.

But still, one problem migrated from the previous version of the game. And of course, this is mouse acceleration. CS: Source, like the previous part, will not allow you to disable this option in the settings, so you will also have to edit the shortcut here. This is done in exactly the same way as in version 1.6.

Here it is worth saying that not indifferent gamers have created a number of programs that allow you to turn off acceleration in a few clicks. Their essence lies in the fact that these applications automatically make all the changes and you do not have to do almost anything. Therefore, if you are too lazy to delve into the shortcut settings, you can download one of these programs and solve the problem in this way.

Acceleration in CS:GO

Well, it's time to talk about CS: GO, which has already managed to become an esports discipline and bring even more fame to its developers. But the mouse acceleration bothers the players here no less than in the previous parts. Fortunately, here the creators finally guessed to add the ability to disable this option in the settings. For this:

  1. Launch the game and go to settings.
  2. Go to the Keyboard/Mouse tab and scroll down the screen.
  3. Find the line "Mouse acceleration" and put the switch in the "Off" position.
  4. Confirm the changes made and enjoy a comfortable game.

By the way, despite the fact that acceleration can be disabled in the settings, sometimes it continues to work further. This happens infrequently, but here the problems are serious. Therefore, do not forget to first turn off acceleration directly in the operating system, and only then in the game. This will save you a lot of headaches.

After acceleration, you will also need to adjust the sensitivity. This is done in the game console, using the "sensitivity X" command, where X is the number responsible for the speed of the sight. This parameter is individual for each gamer, so do not be too lazy to choose it personally for yourself.

Also, if you are already used to playing with acceleration, you should retrain. Yes, at first it will seem inconvenient, but, having adapted, you will understand how much more accurate the shots have become.

Also, after turning off the acceleration, it would be nice to have a few training matches with your friends and learn how to aim at a moving enemy. So you can feel all the changes and see how useful they are.

Acceleration - acceleration of the mouse cursor at a high speed of the latter. That is, if you move the mouse sharply, then it will go a little more distance across the screen than if we were moving the mouse calmly. Most likely, it is precisely because of this that gamers (since it is hard to aim) and workers of other professions (where accuracy of cursor movement is important) swear at acceleration most of all. Today we will look at how to disable mouse acceleration in Windows operating systems.

You can check whether mouse acceleration is enabled using a simple utility that can be downloaded.

Go to the unpacked folder and unzip the archive MouseMovementRecorder_1.12_20131113x.zip

Go to the unpacked folder and run

Run

You need to move the mouse. If the last column is set to ON, acceleration is enabled. The fact that acceleration is enabled can be seen by the presence of many red and green areas.

Our task is to greatly reduce the number of colored blocks by disabling acceleration.

Turn off acceleration in Windows

The first thing to do is disable acceleration in the operating system.

Disable mouse acceleration in the registry

Before making changes to the Windows registry, it is advisable to make a system restore point. In order to return the computer to the state at the time of creation of this point.

If you have not found special software for your mouse, then acceleration can be disabled by editing the registry. To do this, go to the folder that we unpacked in the second paragraph and go to the directory with your system installed (I have Windows 7, so I’ll go to Windows 7 Fixes)

There we will find several reg-files that will remove acceleration for us for different desktop scale values

Let's see what scale we have set

Run the found item Screen

We will see the scale we have set. I have it 100% (default) - Small

We launch the reg-file with the scale we need for 100% -

Windows_7_MouseFix_TextSize(DPI)=100% [email protected]

In the Security Warnings window, click Run

Click Yes to add information to the registry

Registry corrected and acceleration disabled

Restart your computer to apply the settings.

I did not notice any changes in mouse acceleration. Sometimes colored areas skipped.

Most likely, if I had not disabled acceleration in the software for the mouse, I would have felt the changes.

Conclusion

Here are the ways I will disable mouse acceleration. I like it best with the dedicated mouse software. No, you don't need to make any changes. The whitest way. If there is no special software, and it is necessary to completely turn off pointer acceleration, then I will edit the registry. If you want to return the acceleration to its previous state, then in the same unpacked archive there are files:

  • Windows_7+Vista+XP_Default.reg
  • Windows_8.x_Default.reg

for the respective operating systems. Just run them and reboot.

In this article, we will discuss such a thing as mouse acceleration. Briefly about the basic concept of acceleration, as well as turning off this function. So let's get started.

To put it simply, mouse acceleration is a kind of increase in mouse movement. Accordingly, the faster you move the mouse, the more distance the cursor travels on the screen. If you have significantly increased the speed of the cursor, but still this is not enough, then you need to enable mouse acceleration. Thus, you will speed up the movement of the cursor and you will not need to make amplitude movements by moving your hand with the mouse on the table (especially important in confined spaces).This feature is very useful for large monitors and high screen resolutions. Gamers, acceleration is often turned off, since this function gives uneven cursor movement (that is, as I noted above - acceleration). In popular 3D shooters such as: Counter-Strike 1.6, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, Battlefield and many other similar games, mouse acceleration has a bad effect on accuracy and shooting accuracy. Since these aspects are important in games, avid gamers are strongly recommended to turn it off.

In addition to the mouse, a keyboard is also necessary for the full operation of the computer, so we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the material on keyboard selection .

Windows developers have made it possible for users to increase the speed of mouse movement using the "Turn on increased pointer precision" function.

How to disable mouse acceleration in Windows 7? To start, let's go Start -> Control Panel and choose the item Mouse.

Next, in the window that opens (Properties: Mouse), select the tab Pointer options and uncheck the box Enable Enhance Pointer Precision and press OK.

Mouse acceleration is now disabled. Also, if you play Counter-Strike, then you need to go to steam (steam) and set the parameters in the game properties "-noforcemaccel" And "-noforcemparms" these options will keep the same mouse settings in the game(acceleration, etc.)which are indicated in the operatingsystem.


Mouse acceleration- acceleration of mouse movement, that is, the faster you move the mouse, the more distance it passes on the screen. This is good for working in the operating system when you need to get to the right place faster, such as the "save" button, but not recommended for full-screen games that require high aiming accuracy, such as Counter-Strike 1.6 and other 3D shooters from first person. Without mouse acceleration, the cursor moves uniformly from point A to point B, no matter how fast you move the mouse. In CS 1.6, it's better to have the same movement speed all the time, without using mouse acceleration, so you don't have to deal with "chaotic" crosshair movement.

Before you start removing the acceleration, MANDATORY, disable vertical sync in the game, because frame synchronization for some unknown reason slows down mouse movements (not in all cases). How to do this is written in the article - Increase FPS in Counter-Strike 1.6.

1. Disable mouse acceleration only in CS 1.6, through launch options:

1) Right click on the CS 1.6 shortcut on your desktop.
2) Select "Properties".
3) In field "An object", after the text, add the parameters:


For Steam:
1) Run Steam.
2) Select tab "Library".
3) Right click on the game Counter strike.
4) Select "Properties".
5) Select "Set launch options....
6) In the field that appears, add the parameter: -noforcemparms -noforcemaccel


Some players add more parameters -noforcemspd, but to disable mouse acceleration, only the parameters are enough -noforcemparms -noforcemaccel

Decryption of parameters:
P.S. After disabling acceleration and vertical sync, adjust the sensitivity value (sensitivity) in the game, for yourself, as you like.

First, disable mouse acceleration in Windows:
1) Go to Start menu => Control Panel => Equipment and sound => Mouse => Pointer options;
2) Uncheck the box "Enable high pointer precision".
This will disable acceleration in the operating system, but not disable acceleration in games.

2. Completely disable mouse acceleration in the game and operating system (MarkC Mouse Fix Builder)


The program will disable mouse acceleration in Counter-Strike 1.6 and throughout the operating system ( Windows XP, 7, Vista, 8, 8.1, 10). Based on such parameters as the monitor refresh rate, the percentage of increase in the Windows interface, the speed of the pointer, the program will create individual registry values ​​for your computer to completely disable acceleration and independently enter them into your system.

1) Download archive (downloads: 11848) and unzip it to any location on your computer;
2) Run the file MarkC_Windows_8+7+Vista+XP_MouseFix_Builder.cmd and follow the instructions;
3) After making changes to the registry, restart your computer.

How to disable mouse acceleration in Windows through the registry (CPL Mouse Fix):

1) Download archive (downloads: 18641) with two files off_acceleration.reg and on_acceleration.reg.
off_acceleration.reg- disables mouse acceleration in Counter-Strike 1.6 and throughout the operating system.
on_acceleration.reg- restores the default registry settings, which includes mouse acceleration in Counter-Strike 1.6 and throughout the operating system.

2) Open the file by double-clicking, answer the question "Adding information may lead to unintentional change or deletion of values ​​and incorrect operation of components. If the information in X:\off_acceleration.reg is obtained from an unreliable source, do not add it to the registry. Continue?", answer Yes.
3) Restart your computer to apply the changes.


P.S. It is not recommended to use this method if you often play in clubs, for club players it is better to use method #1.

3. How to find out if acceleration is disabled:

1) Download and run the program (downloads: 8014) ;
2) Run Counter-Strike 1.6 in a separate window, to do this, check the box Options => video => Run in a window and create a new game;
3) Place the program in the field of view and see the readings of the movements playing a game:

Variations that are highlighted in green indicate that the cursor movement on the screen lags behind the actual movement of the mouse, deviations in red indicate that the cursor is moving faster than your bear.

Here is the effectiveness of disabling acceleration in some ways.


For a very long time (since Windows NT 3.5, I think) Microsoft has added a mouse acceleration feature. It works very simply: when you move the mouse slowly, the cursor moves at normal speed, when you move the mouse quickly, the cursor speed increases by 1.5-2 times, which speeds up the cursor moving to the desired part of the screen. During normal computer use, this is a very handy feature that speeds up the user's interaction with the workspace, but this feature gets in the way in PC games, as the cursor can simply travel further than necessary. Fortunately, there are a couple of ways to fix this in Windows 7 and 8 series.

Method number 1. Disabling mouse acceleration through the "Control Panel".

The simplest, but at the same time not quite working way .Contrary to Microsoft's assurances, acceleration is not completely disabled, but reduced to a very small value. Which can already be considered comfortable. So what is required for this? Open the "Control Panel" by clicking on the "Start" corner and selecting the appropriate item.

Go to the item "Hardware and Sound" and in the section "Devices and Printers" select "Mouse"

In the window that opens, open the "Pointer Options" tab and uncheck the box "Enable increased pointer precision"

Method number 2. Disable mouse acceleration using the Windows registry.

Download a special program to disable mouse acceleration — MarkC

In the downloaded and unpacked files we find the one you need, depending on your operating system. For example, if you have Win7 then you will need the Windows 7 Fixes folder. If you have Win8 or 8.1 then open the Windows 8+8.1 Fixes folder.

But then there is one very important point in choosing the right file to run. You will need to find out what font size you have set in your screen settings. Let's take my example. I have Win7 and font size 125% (see picture)

So for installation, I select a file from the Windows 7 Fixes folder in the name of which there is 125% (see picture)


After the correct choice, just run the file. It will make changes to your computer's registry, so you will need to restart your computer.

That's actually all. To check if your acceleration is turned off, run the MouseMovementRecorder file (found in the downloaded files) and look at the last values ​​in the column when moving the mouse, they should all be OFF.
