Why I Quit Raw Accel After 6 Months 

right around the "how rawaccel can give you better aim" video I built my curve alongside you in that video. I have changed my curve over 10 times since then after vod reviewing myself and finding my weak points. I found the curve that is most comfortable to me and stuck with it for that entire time (7ish months). rawaccel genuinely made aiming easier instantly (after 4 days with maybe around 12 hours total building/ refining my curve). And it's extrapolated into my valorant games as well. My game sense is progressing rapidly because I don't have to put as much brain power into aiming. I love looking at it from both sides, and I may attempt a flat sens again someday, but before I installed rawaccel I was a constant sens changer and obsessed with finding the "perfect" sens, with rawaccel I don't think about it at all

i used to be a low linear sens player but since then i've had a wrist injury and just cannot play low linear sens since. But mouse accel genuinely makes it painless to play with the precision of low sens with offset mouse accel for the big mouse movements. I think its also valuable to look at that perspective aswell as mouse accel is way more ergonomic (at least in my uneducated opinion) than a linear low sens

RA for me actually helped immensely. I had always had an issue with myself where low sens felt too low and high-mid sens I had trouble controlling it. Being able to use both honestly solved so many issues for me. But thats mainly because I saw what was an issue for me and used it to patch that issue over on top of practice and such after realizing this was a great way to solve that issue. I already knew what I wanted to finding those settings was pretty easy for me. Its not a be all end all thing. I see it as something that can be used as a personal preference thing like in my case. I run a really steep Natural 0.2 decay 1.11 limit no offset gain checked which is used for me to go between my old high-mid sens and my preferred lower sens in the games I play. I honestly think it would be a pain to find these settings through if I didnt accidentally stumble into mine.

Is nobody gonna talk about the fact that your name is "his sage" in these clips💀

I personally feel like RA was worth it for me. I play FPS games at a really at a really low sense for the most part. I’m masters in Apex and switching to RA not only helped with my tracking, but it helped me get consistent at movement as well. I don’t think I’ve seen the issue to where you have to change your curve a lot tho. After I switched from classic and to motivity I haven’t touched my settings since

For me, I play a variety of FPS games so they tend to use different styles of aim as some are more tracking or flick based or precision based, so I stopped after using rawaccel for sometime now but your videos has definitely helped me build the habits that I need to keep improving my aim without any accel (now I just find the best sensitivity for that particular game instead of bringing my sens over from other games) so I can focus more on the other aspects like movement and gamesense

After a lot of time and the help of your vods I’m now beside you on my Ra task. Thanks man.

Turning off accel defeats the whole purpose of that involved tracking exercise. It's exactly the kind of scenario that's hard to get used to with accel and thus the one to double down on to get better at using mouse accel. Makes me want to install an aim trainer. If you were willing to go all-in on rawaccel, I'd recommend trying Motivity curve. Parameters conversion for it is tricky: Motivity = (Accel Cap)^0.5 Sens Multiplier = Old Sense Multiplier*Motivity Midpoint based on Offset Growth Rate based on Acceleration.

really though, to me the biggest advantage of raw accel in tacfps is the ability to make large angle flicks fast on a low sensitivity - a static jump curve that just goes from 1 to 2 with a high enough offset to not interfere with your actual aim is such a nice thing to have especially if you're newer and unfamiliar with angles and maps yet want to stick to low sensitivity, and it also doesn't require getting used to the curve when it's only used for 180's

Interesting cause I just found your old video on Raw Accel like 2 weeks ago. I started to use Raw Accel now... I personally play R6 and always messed with my sensitivity, but knew my limits with my aim. So I tried to focus on my crosshair placement and positioning so I would not have to flick as much. I play with the philosophy if I have to flick a lot, I have bad game sense. When I started to use Raw Accel... it changed how I perform completely. I'd say for the better because 80% of the time I know where my enemies are, what angles to hold, but now I dont have to worry about flicking because I can "accel" to that position especially if someone is behind me. I dont have to swing my arm off the table anymore, lol.

It literally changed my game, got good instantly and ranked up to diamond in cod in three days from being stuck in gold. It gave me exactly what I needed, slow sensitivity with the ability to flick and turn in ranked. I also knew exactly what I needed so I made a custom curve that works for me in about a day of messing with it while playing. My curve looks nothing like the recommend curves, and I figured it never would. I Was playing at a higher sense to be able to turn with giving up accuracy across the map. Not just a setting for me, a game changer.

Your second point is what made me quit mouse accel as well, not after 6 months but after 3 years. In my case it's even more extreme, I constantly have the urge to fiddle around with accel settings a bit to accommodate my changed preferences, and I can have this urge tens of times per _single day_. Considering that I've used mouse accel for three years I have experience which tells me it isn't going to stop. I don't have much of a problem adapting to a new sens/curve, I seem to play rather fine after doing so and may even perform better. My problem is rather long-term consistency, as changing my settings even just a little bit this often just can't lead to consistency. One other major point is that the main reason why I _started_ using mouse accel back in the day after pinguefy's video is that at the time I was trying to play several completely different FPS games while foolishly wanting to maintain a shared sensitivity across all of them. Back then, I thought that if I didn't use a single camera sensitivity in _every single game_ I play, I'd detach from it and would start forgetting it, hence performing worse. This is, of course, total bullshit as I now understand, and having shared sens between different types of games is only harmful. I do indeed like how I can get an even lower sensitivity in CS:GO with RawAccel without having to dislocate my shoulder to do a 180, but it's not necessary. Also, mouse accel is essentially adding more variables to your aim, which in turn creates more complication, which may not be a good thing.

I was one of the ones that DM'd you early on. I didn't need you to set it up but I was wanting more knowledge of what the different functions did and you did help with what you could explain but I found that I was just going to have to experiment. I traditionally play with a lower sens in general in most games but would move my sens in aim trainers, not to cheese but to force myself to learn to control without memory. My close flicks and tracking are decent I just wanted better wide angle flicks. I found in kovacks several senarios that would let me test my theory. I have a lower sens that most as my base but know where my sens should be for wide angle flicks, I have it multiply that deference on a natural curve with a 9 offset. I have it jump the ramp a little faster than stock. I found I can track and close flick same as I always have but wide angle alot better. But I think you're right, using aim trainers for awhile and it not really mattering to me personally what the sens was I was able to just adapt to it in a way, it didn't make me better it just made it easier physically as I use a lot of arm motion. The biggest take away to me is my arm and shoulder doesn't get as tired with my low sens.

It's honestly baffling some ppl really thought raw accel Is gonna make them better Instantly. I used It for 3 months and to me It was Just a gimmick. The only way to get better Is to actually practice not copy settings from ppl who are way better than you, and can use whatever they want.

I’m at the 8 month mark. I have adjusted my curve combinations weekly and can say I have thoroughly examined the program. Probably about 300-500 hours of practice with RA in many games. My conclusion is that rawaccel is a tool that an elite aimer should be familiar with. Aimers with less raw aim experience in multiple sensitivities will have less intuition to adjust the curves dynamically and will experience more of the “cons” you discussed. I am at the point where I know how to fix errors and discrepancies in my aim by fixing the curve by adjusting values and curve types. It isn’t as much work as it sounds like, but getting to this point WAS a lot of work. Different aim styles, body ergonomics, type of game played, and many other variables will change how this tool can/should be used. Like anything, it takes hundreds to thousands of hours to learn who you are as an aimer and just as much time if not more to figure out how rawaccel fits into that. Love your videos dude.

I use the simpliest non-constant curve - linear - and after around a week of playing it feels quite natural. My accuracy is more or less the same as before but my hand feels more comfortable and I don't need different sensitivities for different heroes (I mostly play Overwatch)

used raw accel for like almost 2 yrs. best part is able to play on slow and fast, as someone who always used faster senses. it made me aim so much better on fort as i could now also be super slow and precise. copying pros and expecting the same success is a bad idea ofc though.

I'm one of the authors of Raw Accel. Long-time CS:GO player who reached Main back in the day. (Just to show that I've been around: I have a screenshot around of my team knocking off Wardell's and Neptune's "Bee's Money Crew" the season in 2016 they won ESEA, in which I top-fragged with AWP.) Reached Immortal in Valorant in an earlier season but haven't kept playing. There are many dimensions to the ideas presented in the video and I can't address all that I'd like. Here are a few: - Yes, the players who think mouse acceleration will fix or instantly improve their aim are wrong. I was likewise annoyed by the wave of that mentioned in the video. Mouse Accel does not directly improve your skill; it may improve your comfort. It's not for everyone. - I do not agree with your methodology for finding a curve. I tried your methodology myself and bounced off the curves it produced after a couple months. It has an offset, is concave up, and caps after a lot of rise. These blow my mental cache - i.e., make it so I need to re-feel out the curve too often. Too hard. - Changing your curve often is a recipe for under-performing. At some points in the video you seemed to suggest that you could make a curve for each way you want to train, which is obviously sub-optimal. Instead, you should choose something that can adapt to all the ways you want to train. If you've found a method of training that doesn't seem possible with your curve but does seem possible without accel, then in my opinion you've done something wrong in choosing your curve. Finer points: - A large offset clears my mental cache too fast - I have to re-feel the curve too often to use it well, which leads to the issues you were feeling in the video. Someone like Sarah who has a huge offset kind of comes back around to it working again; it only kicks in when the arm moves, at which point you only need to keep mental track of the curve for the type of motions during which you're likely not precisely aiming anyways. (Sarah, to my understanding, also hasn't changed her curve in more than a year and plays a ton, which makes up for a lot.) - "To be able to hit counter-strafing opponents and wide-angle flicks, your accel should have an offset." Hard disagree. Your accel should be easy to predict which implies a low amount of accel in an easy-to-instantly-access pattern, one of which would be "none". An offset achieves this in one range (up to the offset) at the cost of another (after). - Concave-up means the accel rises faster and faster. Cap means it suddenly stops. Both of these personally require more thinking than I want to deal with, especially if they occur in speed ranges I only hit on flicks and larger motions, as your methodology suggests. - I have never aim trained to be good at Kovaak's, only to perform in the games I care about (CS:GO and Val), and even then only for 90ish hours. Kovaak's wasn't available for most of my playing career and is useful but not necessary for building aim. In my opinion, you should choose the best settings to compete in the game you care about (which may be Kovaak's or even one type of scenario in Kovaak's, but for most is an esport like Val) and then train everywhere with those settings. Playing with one curve somewhere, another somewhere else will be sub-optimal for competing at higher and higher levels accounting for other factors. For all these reasons, I recommend using just enough accel to look around a little more with the simplest shape possible. Two such shapes would be linear and low-exponent power, un-capped and without offsets, such that you reach 30-50% increase on your very fastest hand motion. (Power is linear in log-log space, which is a math way of saying it's intuitive to predict how the curve trails off.) With these shapes, your smallest micro-movements inform prediction of how your larger movements will accelerate, but are not accelerating themselves enough to demand much thinking or hurt your aiming. I would be interested to see how choosing such a simple curve affected your training. Keep It Simple, Stupid (meant lovingly) :)

I just gotta say I really like this channel that’s all about aim training, I never even thought to aim train and never knew what kovaaks was until a couple months ago and these vids have made a pretty big difference already. I especially like the sciency vids too since I’m also a psych student and it’s cool to see how what I’m learning in class translates to video games.

personally i play on 68cm/360 rawaccel is an absolute game changer for me i use a jump curve tho its really helpful for clearing angles

I feel like it's especially good for people who normally never change settings (like me) or change them too often, to break their habits and learn something new. Right now I prefer it over static, and to break my habits I can merely change the parameters a bit or use a different formula, and I've been playing like this for years by now, my aim improving along the way (not causally related to accel curve of course).

I tried using raw accel for a couple weeks but found myself focusing more on the crosshair rather than the target while I was using it. I've since started training with different set sensitivities and mouse grips and it feels much more intuitive. The biggest benefit of RA in valorant or other tac shooters is being able to do large flicks fast, but if you train your fingers, wrist and arm instead of just one of them you can adapt and make those fast movements accurately even at low sensitivities. I run 62cm/360 in valo but train with sensitivities between 82-25cm/360 and can get similar scores in most tasks by changing what muscles I'm using to aim.

Raw accel is just a way to config a curve for mouse accel. I never used it, but that is all it does. If you use it to, for example, only turn on faster at a speed you NEVER would move your mouse normally, even when making a fast flick, then it still being really useful for those with really low sens.

as to the part about the community, its always been like this in practically every game. Players always want to blame their lack of skill on something like "not knowing the secret tip." I mean there are literally hundreds of videos with millions of views on each all titled something along the lines of "doing x made me a GOD" and it convinces a huge portion of people that if they just use this 1 tip, change this 1 setting, do this 1 tiny insignificant thing that wont actually do much for them, that they will be good. I mean 1 example that everyone can see is the people who genuinely believe they r stuck in their ranks because of bad teammates. Not the people that complain about bad teammates, or jokingly say their teammates r always selling their shit. But the people who literally believe that unless they were literally tenz himself they couldnt climb since their teammate luck is just so much worse than everyone else's. People like this just gravitate from 1 trend to the next, thinking that eventually something will give them good aim, make them a smart player, and finally bring them to the top. Truth is, it doesnt exist. There is no secret tip or advice that will make u better, it isnt ur teammates, it isnt ur setup, it isnt a setting u dont have on. It's that u would rather spend dozens of hours tryna find the secret, rather than actually spending the time to get better and improving ur skill. 90% of all videos that show u a "secret tip that will give u Tenz aim" r all bullshit and just share the same regurgitated tips and settings changes all the other ones do. the other 10% r usually just helpful advice that boils down to "put in the hours, here is where u should put those hours for optimal practice" but usually those videos dont even do as well anyway since telling the audience to just put in time isnt what they want to here. bottom line is that in every community there is a large, sizeable portion of the community who refuse to take responsibility for their lack of skill and improvement and will always think that they just dont know the "secret" yet

you are right, there are a lot more things to improve in your gameplay rather than your aiming. but i believe that raw accel isn't useless, on paper it is actually good and i have been using it for a couple of weeks now. i peaked 168 rr and was already good without raw accel--but as someone who really couldnt decide if i wanna play low or high sens, i resorted to using raw accel and i have seen a significant improvement that i couldnt even play without it. i believe 6 months is a pretty short period of time for you to tell that raw accel isn't really working. you need to invest years and years of competitive gaming to see its actual effect on your gameplay--years and years of competitive gaming that would maximize your game sense, comms, and other things and thats when the raw accel will come into place. i think raw accel provides players a higher skill ceiling as not only you have to practice your muscle memory in terms of the travel distance of your mouse across your mousepad, but with raw accel, you would also practice your muscle memory in terms of the travel distance and the acceleration speed of your mouse. i really think that a day will come that everyone will be using raw accel especially when esport tournaments would allow such third party uses. people always say the raw accel or mouse accel is bad coz it messes up your muscle memory--but if you know that graphs and u play w it for a couple of years, i think there would be a time that you would be able to master your muscle memory in terms of distance and speed.

Ur ryt, its never my fault. At first its because i didn't use raw accel, now its because im using raw accel. Jokes aside, the improvement I got from raw accel has plateaued, ill try turning it off and see what happens. I think the idea that "you just haven't found your best curve" actually has merit but not in the sense you would think. Finding the best curve is severely underestimated in terms of time and effort, you have to test out different settings at different situations (flicks, tracking, etc etc). Time and effort you could have just used in training a static sense. And if you do find the "best curve", chances are it is only the best in a specific genre of games. Arena shooters vs tac shooters are 2 very different aim styles (precision vs accuracy) that I initially thought raw accel can bridge and create a setting that works for both, but instead, it just made the difference worse. When I get good in a tac shooter using raw accel, I become bad in an arena shooter, and vice versa. You can argue, just make a separate curve for arena shooter and tac shooter. That is exactly my point, the time and effort for getting the best curve is severely underestimated. EDIT: I ranked up in valorant with raw accel when I was playing valorant exclusively, but when I tried other games, fortnite and finals specifically, my skill in valorant fell off a cliff and I just became ass in all 3 games.

4:05 noticed that after using accel for 10 mins, its like i always trying to move hand faster to have comfortable speed all the time

needed this video i realized is was just coping trying not to blame myself on the bad aim and after some self reflection now ive been actually aim training more seriously. Fuck the raw accel imma just practice till i get my aim the way i want it. This video just helped me be more confident with the decision i made.

I also feel like raw accel in tac shooters vs arena shooters has a very different use case. Specifically, arena shooters require smooth and efficient mouse movement to apply to both movement tech and also accurate aim. Those can conflict with each other especially in games like apex (not an afps but close) where high sens provides a clear advantage in terms of movement but can harm your accuracy. I found my aim didn't improve much with raw accel but i was able to do a lot of advanced movement i struggled to do before.

I have been using raw accel/interaccel on and off for about 3 years now and had the same issue. What I ended up settling with was turning off the accel completely but playing at a 1.3 y:x ratio, as I really REALLY struggled with vertical aiming. I still use it to this day!

To me RA is something like speed acceleration in mobile games. The faster you swipe the screen (or mouse here) it moves faster but it isn't fixed.

I use rawaccel because I like low sens but have a small mousepad. I recognize that my aim is still bad, I just wanted a way to 180 when someone is creeping up on me.

I personally use mouse accel just for flicking to angles to pre-aim them and generally moving around the map since it can get kinda annoying having to swipe your whole arm across the mousepad.

I can use twice as much cm/360 with raw accel and be fine. I didn't feel much of a drop in aim. I practice so it's ok. Maybe I will try it without accel one day, but for OW I need both precision for say widow and speed with like tracer 180s.

BROO i just started using raw accel like 3 days ago because of youu then i saw this lmfaoo

As soneone who played controller for the first 25 years of my life (M&K for about a year now) Raw Accl gives me thatr controller pace and speed im used to but with the precision of a mouse. Its incredible and I highly recommend it for x controller players

I use Raw accel to help me do 180° or Long Flicks which are almost impossible for me because the mouse starts to glitch and I don't have as much room to move the mouse. It allowed me to feel more comfortable moving the mouse without ending up with wrist pain, which resulted in easier movements and 180° turns. Sorry for my bad English, Greetings from Argentina.

Tl;dr for performance with a specific aim style in a specific game, raw accel can help while it's on but won't improve your real aim ability over time. For improvement in your real aim ability via training + time, or consistency across multiple aim styles or games, no accel.

i started watching you about 4 months ago when i switched to kbm, ive now hit plat in tracking and goldish silverish in other modes. the only ones im struggling w are dynamic clicking and speed switching

yeah i just stopped using accel and feel more consistent, I play a lot of cod and I will miss those near perfect 180 flicks and blistering fast target switches, but being more consistent defiantly feels better

Raw accel was worth it for me. My aim skill was the same while making some actions easier. With training I was able to surpass previous scores easily after a few hours of training. Without raw accel my aim skill would have improved slowly. I stopped training for a while just to play valorant and get better at the game now that my aim was at a place where I felt confident to take gunfight’s. After being stuck in high gold, I was able to reach diamond in less than a month with an average 27% headshot accuracy. I still use raw accel and will continue to use it.

I've stopped using accel, but I think RawAccel actually helped me bring my sens down. I was running .64 sens at 800dpi. But my curve was weird. I had a 100 initial offset and really high accel after that with no gain. Those helped me with quick long flicks and being able to 180. Now I've been able to get down to a .4 sens fairly quick.

I watched your videos about mouse accel, and thought they were cool, but never did it. I have put a lot of work into my aim on raw mouse settings but I have used your benchmarks and regiment for the past two weeks. I feel like it is too early to say If it is working for me or not, in my opinion. My raw aim isn't terrible in most areas (massive exception for dynamic) my real problem with val aim has more to do with in game mechanics that are more closely tied to game sense. Like crosshairs placement, both vertical and horizontal. That being said, I am not perfect, by far, with raw aim. So I am glad you put this out. And I can't thank you enough for the benchmarks and training regiment. In a couple more weeks I will take the benchmarks again and see how it is working out.

really great video, i tried mouse accel but i found myself crutching on it so i disabled it to help my growth as a player, and improve my mouse control naturally instead of artificially with accel. i feel like so many people don't think about what mouse accel should be used for, they just flip the switch bc they see tenz using it or whatever. personally i just wanted faster aim so i used a jump curve that moved from around 37cm to like 27cm (iirc could be wrong it was while ago) instead of just practicing to get faster aim, worked ok but it felt so bland and boring and flat if that makes sense after turning accel off i look at aiming as like an art form now instead of just clicking on heads/circles. it really opened my eyes to how amazing the process of aiming actually is. having accel on just make me have this disconnect between my mouse and crosshair that just feel horrific to main. overall id sum up my time with accel as a learning experience (a very VERY needed one at that)

I feel like raw accel could do big things for me, but I have so many other things going on I don’t think I can take the time to learn it. It’s important to learn I think, but it’s not a crutch for bad aim.

Im not understanding why people are saying you need to keep changing your curve the more you play. I found my curve and havent changed it since. I hit my peak immo3 and currently enjoying the game more than ever as I feel 10x more confident playing high pressure agents like Jett where you are expected to hit your shots. I love raw accel personally. I hit immo 2 without it so I clearly had enough skill to aim, maybe for those who have peaked like asc only, its still best to play till that immo1/2 mark and then try dabbling in raw accel. Its true that if you dont find the exact correct curve then itll feel like shit. but once you do, and you play with it for some time, i havent needed to change it and it feels great.

i play on an ultra low sens, all i use accel for (valorant context) is so i can flick a somewhat smaller distance on my mousepad but be able to flick greater distances - 1600dpi .09 in game so i generally have it so it wont kick in unless i flick for that wider distance. it works nicely for me and i found what my natural habits are for those big flicks then adjusted the program to it

I use Mouse Accel because it is fun. Motivity curve is indeed a fun one. I train and play with the same settings mostly. I adjust the midpoint by about 0.5 back and forth tho

For valorant i felt like i needed a low sense for precision at linger range and high sense to flick between angles and RA allowed me to do this

I've been using ra for about 2 years now always felt the curve introduced inconsistencies in my aim because obviously its not a consistent sense but then they added jump the purfect setting if youre like me and play on a very low sense but want to add a higher sense when you need to quickly turn and run away highly recomend it to any1 on a low sense

Can't I just aim train with the same curve on every scenario, it will make it harder on some of them but that's just an extra challenge that could help your aim improve even further since you're more challenged.

Nah since I started using raw accel I am finally able to stop searching for a comfortable mouse sens that I can benefit from with the small desk space that I have. Some games allow you to change sens when ADS, so it's really not a big deal. It just helps me get rid of jittery aim when making very small adjustments.

i think raw accel is a tool that helps low sens players flick longer angles and still keep their low sens on micro adjustments

Hey West! Long time lurker. I just wanted to ask your opinion regarding this recent rise of "angle-snapping". A lot of people swear by it but personally, I'm afraid to start using it because it sounds like a crutch / bandaid instead of learning proper horizontal tracking movement. Thoughts?

Were you able to uninstall completely raw accel? I tried it myself and after I uninstalled it, the sens of the mouse seems different. Have you experienced this as well?

I had the same experiences with raw accel. Too difficult to find a curve that was worth using in every situation(and having a curve for each felt like cheesing so I didn't want to do that). I also experienced the need to fine tune my curve as I got better in general(with/without the curve). For games, I don't think it was as much of an issue but I would occasionally find "awkward" situations where I wasn't sure if my curve actually hindered me or not. In hindsight, I'm pretty sure I would have made the same mistake with or without it but the curve would make it really obvious. It probably made other aiming errors more invisible however. I imagine it would be easier to finetune a curve for games with predominantly just one aspect of aim though even something like tac fps has both static and dynamic(and ts too?). In the end, I only use raw accel to change my x/y. Maybe to make 180s easier to do with a jump curve, but I play most games that would benefit from this with a higher sens anyway so it seems redundant. On the part about making errors more apparent though, I wonder if it's actually worth using raw accel in that way in aim training? Make a curve that highlights your errors for aim, or make it more challenging. Like using an uncomfortable natural curve for precise tracking or something.

I play a game Called Roark's Attack on Titan competitively, while I can guarantee no one here has heard of it, it can be very aim heavy and Mouse accel I have found to be extremely beneficial in this type of game. It is also great for overwatch.

the primary reason i use accel is because i grew up on controller and had pretty good aim. it makes it feel closer to that i haven't changed my settings it's very comfortable so far im only about 4-5 months into pc games tho so we will see

I only used raw accel so I can maintain a really low sensitivity that's comfortable for me, and my curve is pretty small overall it just makes moving around the map and flicking away from flashes a bit easier.

Thats sad to here. I it took me a few tries to find my sensitivity curve and I'm still using it for over a year and a half. The settings still work for apex even after a 4 month break.

I couldn't do 180° to dodge flashes because my sensitivity is way too slow, I've downloaded raw accel just for it

So i just turned off my raw accel, SINCE I FUCKED IT UP AND FORGOT THE NUMBERS, and holy shit, raw accel feels so much better to me, being able to do a full 180 without using my ENTIRE mouse pad feels so good, i need to figure it out again. Idk how others feel about it, but for me, it feels smoother, idk why, maybe since i used to play super high sens, then really low sens, when i first picked up aim labs. Accel lets me use both skill sets, the macro flicks, and the micro flicks, it just FEELS better.

I'm pretty decent in osu but not as well in other games. I just turned RawAccel on once and just set it to turn on when my computer boots. to me rawAccel is just a replacement for windows accel because it feels better I just use linear because it's the least obvious acceleration

hey guys i downloaded RA not long ago but when i want to use it just doesn’t work out, like there’s no change with the sens and all so pls if someone can help me with this matter

would u mind updating ur voltaic progrees sheet? since its been awhile after u posted ur sheet on twitter, not an insult tho, just wonder how much one could improve training an amount of time so i could set my expectation for myself. and as always love ur vods.

I use raw accel plainly to make 180s easier im not looking to cheat my way into having good aim Its just sad to hear that people arent as committed to valorant to actually get good there installing an application thinking that they can magically go from bronze to diamond.

I was hardstuck bronze an silver i tried downloading raw accel did all the steps and then it turns out I it corrupted my mouse driver and I don’t think i can fix it ive watches countless tuts and still nothing some one help please.

West Proter i wonder if u ever answered this question? is it even worth it getting used to raw accel when playing multiple games instead of one specific games? so for like example i like to play a variety of games such as valorant, apex, r6 and im wondering what is your opinion about that maybe even using raw accel when playing multiple of different games is actually a negative thing and gives more disadvantages than advantages, or is raw accel most reccomended when playing one specific game

I just play normal without RA but my duo uses it but he also usesa g502 with all the weight. while I use g pro x superlight 0.41 by 800dpi however I have been using this sens for about 2years so im pretty consistent

I change my settings 3 times and now i think i'm gonna stick on jump curve i build it for the fast movement when i turn to multiple angle but i have a constant sens i use that because my desk is a littlely small so raw accel helped me a lot for turn to check multiple angle on low sens.

Not quite sure if it’s the right way to use raw accel, but after a month of 2 of using it and doing different curves I found out that I really only use it to make faster 180 since I use really low sens.

I was considering using accel in overwatch ( recently switched from apex) i struggle a lot with genjis jumping across my screen

there no real cons but you have the wrong idea about that. you just said that one guy had perfectly fine settings. well you dont know that. thats the thing, there are no perfect settings you can replicate. you need to adjust it to yourself. ideally you wont even notice its there and your hand eye coordination just simply works. i couldnt even tell you which type of accerlation is best for you because it depends what your brain likes more. and also what exactly you want it to help you most. so for example something like a natural curve is good for the entire aimpart but helps less withmovement. jumpcurves are great for movement fliks (not aimflicks) and woudl rather use a long offset for flat dpi for aim. but ofc you can combine that with a custom array but thats a lot of work if you wanna replaicte something like a natural curve with a jump at the end. the default goto linears are not for everyone or every game and it will take a lot of hours to even understand what exatly you need and work with best

Damn. My interest in RawAccel was because I just wanted to get away with having a low sens. Like, just to be able to 180 in any direction like I have a high sens when needed without pressing any buttons or having to reset the mouse. It sucks having a shitty desk and a fullsize keyboard hampering my mouse space. Well, at least I managed to learn how to reset and place the mouse a little better. It's fucked up that so many people really were expecting removing the difficulties of aiming from the equation from this. I wonder how many are zoomers Oh, and I tried messing with rotation but it never went anywhere as I couldn't stick with a specific angle when using my mouse

For me RA just help me to mitigate fatigue while playing.

I felt super inconsistent after awhile, at first your brain instantly adapts but after prolonged use my mind couldnt tell which muscle memory to use anymore

Before I first watched your video introducing Raw Accel with passion, I had no idea what Raw Accel is. I play games which require 180 and vertical movement a lot and my desk space is limited. Impressed with your fervency in the video, I started to google things and learned how to use Raw Accel. It fits my use case. I found my favorite curve in this point of time. Now I have to say thank you but RU-vid suggested this video. I'm confounded in perplexity... well, thank you anyway. LUL

I personally think if you have a higher sens then raw accel isnt that useful.

i dont use raw accel cuz i just like it simple and linear without many changes

Do you enable ''increase cursor accuracy'' option or smth ?

i've been playing fps' since wolf 3d 1993. i damaged my hand tissue working, so i've found only dpi above 1300 works for me; otherwise everything is way too slow. i mostly play older cod games, and Unreal tournament. ~ i noticed since 2015 i've had to increase ingame sensitivity to insane levels to feel fast enough [my 'normal'] like 15 and friends use like 2-3. one problem might be: i have to use 125% scaling in windows. ~ anywho, i'm going to try this program instead of using ingame mouse accel.

i watched a bunch of raw accel vids when it came out purely out of interest, of what i will go up against in MM or faceit. but i held off making one for myself, because 20 years or CS without accel can make one quite stubborn to change. however, when i started playing valorant, no matter what i did, the mouse movement felt like literal dogwater with raw input enabled. maybe because i use 4:3 streched on CSGO, idk. so i started using raw accel and tried out a few curves. i got one now that i even like it csgo, because it really helps me do a 180 quicker and thats some quality of life shit i don't wanna live without anymore. then i saw my aimlabs scores go down, but my DM rates stayed the same or got even better. this makes sense because i didn't base the curves off of aimlabs, but off of DM, because there's a little bit more to the game than just flick and click. on some early curves i had problems cornering with good preaim, like smoothing a corner then cutting it... etc. that's when i noticed the fundamental mistake i made. i based this curve off of aimlabs and not off of ingame feel and results. needles to say, i just uninstalled aimlabs and continued to play more DM. the curve is still working just fine in CSGO and valorant and i am way happier, because it really ruins your day if you sit in front of this mind numbing aim trainer for too long and wonder why you can't get past top100 or whatever it maybe in a scenario. i am not saying it won't help to some extent, but it's just as you described with the raw accel curve: don't expect too much, just because you got good in aimlab does not mean you have supperior aim to someone that played the actual game in a focused manner. in many ways i would say that guy could potentially have the advantage over your cracked aimlabs flick, track, do everything spin bot like aim.

Finally lmfao This reminds me of when you asked for a Minecraft accel curve

I was looking at mouse accel due to lack of mouse room, is this a good idea? I play with 800dpi and 0.34 in game sens at the moment

I do agree that the way valorant players look at raw accel as a way to get instant good aim is wrong, keep in mind you did make two videos called “How Raw Accel Can Give YOU Better Aim INSTANTLY and Radiants think Raw Accel is INSTANT GOD AIM”

Just out of curiosity, did you ever give motivity curves a shot?

if im used to my accel curve already is it okay to use. I kinda rely on the accel a lot. Like my sens is 0.045 800 dpi and I have consistent flicks on static targets. If i put in the work and aim train to be more precise in hitting moving targets would I improve? I've tried to stop using raw accel for a 1 month and i just got worse i actually trained regularly but didnt get used to no accel. When i got back i instantly was better. Edit: Sorry if I'm one of those annoying ppl.

for me raw accel made vertical flicks super hard

no way bro posts this a couple hours after i turn raw accel for the first time in my life 😭😭

What about using RawAccel for the rotation settings only? I don’t use it for the accel cause I’m comfortable with my sens, I just adjusted the rotation setting so my aim could be more steady.

I'm 1-year into Raw Accel and the biggest downside is learning to be fully aware of the gun fights your curve doesn't quite work in and adjusting your curve to fix it. Raw Accel works IF you're super techy and can spend the time to VOD review your gunplays because you'll be constantly tweaking your curve as you get better. The curve you start with, is not the curve you end with. I feel pretty cracked most days (I get accused of smurfing/hacking in Plat lobbies). The aim is effortless now and I can just focus on game sense. Most FPS require high sens, but CS-like FPS (tactical) favors low sens. Valorant is in between and I think Raw Accel solves for both low/high sens scenarios.

Just stick with a setting and don't change it lol

I still have it installed because it permanently changed my sens even if I delete it 200dpi feels like 800dpi and idk how to fix it I’ve tried resetting the curve but it does nothing lol can anyone help

I just change the rotation on raw accel

can u help me how to unistall raw accel completely

Raw accel is a crutch to mitigate the downsides of high or low sens that’s all it is

@westporter can we get a kovaaks routine for overwatch

Increased complexity = increased inconsistency

Just want to get some tips on how to recenter my mouse on my mouse pad, like whens the most efficient time to recenter it. Kind of new to mouse aiming, as I just transitioned from controller.
