You've now successfully turned off mouse acceleration both in *Marvel Rivals* and in your Windows settings, ensuring a linear and predictable sensitivity.

What Is Mouse Acceleration & Why Is It Bad For Marvel Rivals?

Mouse acceleration adjusts your cursor's speed based on how quickly you move your mouse. Quick flicks result in higher sensitivity, while slower movements lower it. While this can be helpful for everyday computer use, it's detrimental in fast-paced shooters like *Marvel Rivals*. Consistent sensitivity is crucial for building muscle memory, which is essential for improving aim. With mouse acceleration enabled, your sensitivity fluctuates, making it challenging to develop the necessary muscle memory for precise aiming.

Now that you've disabled mouse acceleration, you can enjoy playing your favorite *Marvel Rivals* characters with confidence in your aim's consistency.

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