If you are an experienced player in Marvel Rivals, you are likely familiar with the frustration caused by the mouse acceleration feature. Previously, it was impossible to turn this option off, but the developers have finally listened to player feedback. The first season of Marvel Rivals introduced a new setting that allows you to easily disable mouse acceleration.

In this guide, we'll explore what mouse acceleration is, how it affects your gameplay, and how to disable it for improved aiming and overall gaming experience.

What is mouse acceleration in Marvel Rivals?

Mouse acceleration is a feature that adjusts the speed of the cursor movement based on how fast you move the mouse. The faster you move the mouse, the further the cursor or crosshair travels on screen.

While this feature can be useful for daily computer tasks, it's a real nightmare for fast-paced games like Marvel Rivals, where precise aiming is crucial. In shooters, where every millisecond counts, mouse acceleration can make your aim inconsistent and inaccurate.

Here's why players prefer to disable this feature:

• Inconsistent aiming: With mouse acceleration enabled, your aim depends not only on the distance of mouse movement but also on the speed of movement. This can cause the aim to end up in unpredictable places.
  
  
• Reduced muscle memory: Shooter players rely on muscle memory for accurate shots. Mouse acceleration disrupts this process, making it difficult to establish consistent aiming habits.
  
  
• Frustration in important matches: If you're playing competitively, inconsistent aiming due to mouse acceleration can lead to missed shots and lost opportunities.

Luckily, with the release of the first season, disabling this feature has become easier than ever.

How to disable mouse acceleration in Marvel Rivals

Now, disabling mouse acceleration in Marvel Rivals doesn't require altering game files or using third-party programs. The developers have added a dedicated setting in the game's menu. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

Step 1: Open the Settings Menu

• Launch Marvel Rivals and go to the main menu.
  
  
• Click on Settings.

Step 2: Go to the Keyboard Tab

• In the settings menu, select the Keyboard tab at the top of the screen.

Step 3: Go to the Combat Settings Submenu

• In the keyboard tab, find the Combat section.

Step 4: Find the Mouse Settings

Scroll down to the Mouse section. Here you will find two key parameters:

▶ Mouse Acceleration

▶ Mouse Smoothing

Step 5: Disable Mouse Acceleration

• Click on the Mouse Acceleration option to toggle it to Off. Make sure there is an "X" next to it.

Why you should disable mouse acceleration in Marvel Rivals

While changing the mouse settings, you will also see the Mouse Smoothing parameter. This feature is intended to reduce jitter or stuttering during mouse movement. However, like mouse acceleration, it can negatively affect aiming accuracy.

Many players recommend disabling Mouse Smoothing for a more natural and responsive crosshair control. This is especially important for heroes who rely on shot accuracy:

• Hawkeye: His bow requires perfect precision for maximum damage.
  
  
• Iron Man: His energy shots are more effective with precise aiming.
  
  
• Black Widow: Her pistols require quick reaction and precise targeting.

Although some characters, such as Scarlet Witch, have an auto-aim feature, disabling mouse acceleration can improve your gameplay regardless of the hero you choose.

Benefits of disabling mouse acceleration

The addition of a setting to disable mouse acceleration is a significant update for Marvel Rivals players. Disabling this feature can greatly improve aiming accuracy and give you an edge in battles.

Now that you know how to turn off this annoying feature, it's time to get back to the game, choose your favorite hero, and dominate opponents with improved precision!
