Mouse accel/decel, tied to polling rates

To preface, I’ve tried all the previous guides about ‘mouse fixes.’ Raw input, FSR @ 0, dynamic resolution, ensuring Windows had accel off, controller smoothing off, etc.

I did some basic testing with the three mice I had on hand and found that OW2 has bizarre mouse behavior at polling rates above 500Hz, which I can best describe as ‘mouse deceleration.’

I tried the mice via wired, USB dongle, and Bluetooth, and the polling rate was the only thing that made any difference. Seems like at 500, 1000, I get the mouse accel/decel, but 125/250 don’t have this issue, or at the very least, it’s happening on such a small scale that it’s not noticeable.

wow! so we need to lower our dpi to 125 to play this game?

To be fair, I’ve just tried it myself and haven’t really noticed any difference between 125 and 1000 hz.

Yeah i just tried it and all dpi settings all feel smoothed and out of whack. Game is broken it seems
