dunno just feels wrong, mouse acceleration that is. I don't want the speed at which I move the mouse to affect the distance the cursor moves.

I love it like that. It allows me to be a bit more precise and not be limited by my space. I also like how you can whip around in a game with a small flick of the wrist.

10:1 in favor of no.

I used to use it, and played pretty well with it. Then I switched to a a decent mouse without it and after a week of utter failure something clicked and I played even better than before. Since then I can't switch back to acceleration.

I've built 3 PC's, but none for myself... In fact, I'm using an iMac that my dad bought for me as my desktop. Awkward...

Please don't say "SSD drive." By doing so, you are literally saying "Solid State Drive Drive" and causing my brain cells to commit suicide. The same applies to HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express).

I hate it. I don't really want anything more than an M40 for a mouse. No acceleration at all. :P

If you like being good at any first person shooter, then do yourself a favour and disable it.

Nay, when ever it turns back on it throws me off.

Human intelligence decreases with increasing proximity to oncoming traffic.

Really depends on what task you're doing..

Inconsistent mouse accleration is meh but consistent accleration is great. Optical mice that are considered flawless have consistent accleration. While some laser mice such as the sensei and the M95 have inconsistent accleration. Generally all mice have accleration except some are minmal while others are are large and inconsistent. 

 

PTE sensors are pretty close to perfecting it thou.

For you, nay.

I once had one of these, now I've got this.
