Maybe I don't understand but in XP control panel, mouse? Isn't Vista similar?

[eyelo]

no, there was a registry fix that could be applied to remove mouse acceleration in xp
it looked like this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse] 
"SmoothMouseXCurve"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,a0,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,40,\ 
01,00,00,00,00,00,00,80,02,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,00,00 
"SmoothMouseYCurve"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,66,a6,02,00,00,00,00,00,cd,4c,\ 
05,00,00,00,00,00,a0,99,0a,00,00,00,00,00,38,33,15,00,00,00,00,00

No.

eyelo: I believe that if you:
1.disable acc in CP
2. run the game like cs with -noforcemaccel -noforcemparams etc
3.set the drivers if you can, for instance you can have Logitech's SetPoint, have the "use setpoints" implementation and check "do not use windows mouse accel"

and that should get you close enough, but not perfect still

I switched back to XP for now, too many problems with vista.

Hi,

Has anyone tried setting this:
"SmoothMouseXCurve"=hex:

it shows as "(zero-length binary value)"
in the registry

here is the reg file contents:

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse]
"ActiveWindowTracking"=dword:00000000
"Beep"="No"
"DoubleClickHeight"="16"
"DoubleClickSpeed"="500"
"DoubleClickWidth"="16"
"ExtendedSounds"="No"
"MouseHoverHeight"="4"
"MouseHoverTime"="400"
"MouseHoverWidth"="4"
"MouseSensitivity"="8"
"MouseThreshold1"="0"
"MouseThreshold2"="0"
"MouseTrails"="0"
"SnapToDefaultButton"="0"
"SwapMouseButtons"="0"
"MouseSpeed"="0"
"SmoothMouseXCurve"=hex:
"SmoothMouseYCurve"=hex:
I am really sensitive person and tried every mouse accel fix on the internet believe me it makes a huge difference.
My mouse hand's wrist stopped to bother me almost instantly.

Changing SmoothMouseXCurve to some other value is just another curve of accel. But setting this to non-value seems to turn accel off.

Best of luck
