Windows still has some accel after disabling the option though, but I don't notice it much, and CPL mousefix doesn't actually do anything for Windows 7. | ||

The difference between the two cases is enormous: 1. If I move the mouse X distance at Y speed, I get Z result. 2. If I move the moues X distance, I get Y result. Human muscle memory takes incredible advantage of the second case. It is so much simpler for your brain and hand to coordinate in the second case. Sure, you can teach yourself the 1st case, but you are just making it more difficult for yourself. Removing barriers of difficulty in any task will help you perform that task better. Having mouse acceleration on is, in my mind, akin to only using odd numbers for hotkeys or disabling your "a" key, forcing yourself to click. It just makes the same task less intuitive and more difficult. | ||

Does that affect anything regarding control and should I have it on or off? It does what it says, reduces mouse lag. This is done by controlling the games ability to dedicate priority to frames/sec, as is sometimes the case. This will often result in slight stutters in mouse movement. However, turning the option on could have a drastic effect on your overall framerate. | ||

In SC2 I seem to be needing both: - I make big fast imprecise movements to scroll the screen or select a big group of units. - I make small subtle movements like selecting individual units in a clump or spawn larva on hatcheries on a minimap. Now I know that a lot of people say mouse acceleration is bad regardless. Can anyone explain how this example would be easier without it? I don't quite think I understand. It seems to me that disabled mouse acceleration only helps for precise twitch movement that is needed a lot in shooters. At the very least both options seem viable to me. | ||

Accel is the way to go! can you or someone who agrees explain what makes you use it? I can't see anyone being comfortable with it after using both settings for a long period of time. I had it on accidentally for a while in BW and felt so much better after I had it off after just a few days. | ||
