1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:06,240
have you ever Plugged In A new mouse or loaded up a new game got into a match

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:10,599
and felt like your character's movement had no real relation to how far you were

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:16,000
actually moving your mouse well then it might be time to look for a new hobby as

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,000
I don't think that gaming is for

5
00:00:16,240 --> 00:00:23,599
you just kidding guys it's possible that you were experiencing something called

6
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:28,240
Mouse acceleration mouse or cursor acceleration to put it simply makes the

7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:33,800
travel distance of your cursor on the screen reliant on the velocity of your

8
00:00:31,199 --> 00:00:39,200
physical Mouse movement rather than just the distance that you move your mouse so

9
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:44,320
making one movement of the same distance at two different speeds will cause two

10
00:00:41,879 --> 00:00:48,440
different relative cursor movements with quick movements causing the cursor to

11
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,960
travel a greater distance Mouse acceleration can be introduced by a

12
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:57,199
variety of sources including your operating system Mouse driver in-game

13
00:00:54,559 --> 00:01:00,600
setting or even an inherent property of the sensor being used on your mouse

14
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,960
Hardware all right all right so I get to move my cursor all the way to the top

15
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:08,759
corner to close a window using like a tiny quick micro movement that sounds

16
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:12,119
pretty sweet and for some people it is if you have very limited space to move

17
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:16,680
your mouse but don't want to constantly run a ridiculously high sensitivity or

18
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,759
if you don't mind sacrificing some Precision in your mouse movements for a

19
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,880
bit of conveniently quick movement when you really need it then Mouse

20
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:28,560
acceleration might not be a bad thing but like anything that has a potential

21
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:32,720
Advantage there are some downsides that you have to take into account

22
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:38,000
first acceleration makes it more challenging to replicate specific

23
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:42,240
movements it is more difficult to gauge the speed of your movement than it is to

24
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:46,759
gauge the distance you move on a Surface so playing games with acceleration may

25
00:01:44,399 --> 00:01:51,399
cause a much steeper learning curve if you're trying to become great at a game

26
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:56,640
where Mouse accuracy is important like a first-person shooter second to use Mouse

27
00:01:54,320 --> 00:02:00,680
acceleration properly you are going to have to tweak and adjust your settings

28
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:05,799
endlessly until you find the exact configuration that works for you it is

29
00:02:02,759 --> 00:02:08,039
doable but it's not going to be easy and

30
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:13,800
third acceleration is something that is in most cases caused by software and

31
00:02:10,959 --> 00:02:17,720
software is not perfect even someone who may consider themselves an expert at

32
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:22,680
using a mouse with acceleration will encounter some weird interactions and

33
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:26,599
mouse movements in the long term drivers and other software has improved and will

34
00:02:24,959 --> 00:02:31,599
continue to improve as we move forward but for now keeping this off is

35
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:36,560
considered generally wise within the Gaming Community now like most things we

36
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:40,760
discuss on this channel it really does come down to personal preference and in

37
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:44,720
many cases it's something that you can tune to meet your needs like elderly

38
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:48,800
people for example might want acceleration so that when they're trying

39
00:02:46,519 --> 00:02:51,800
to to reach you know that button that's kind of hard to align with they can move

40
00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:56,760
slower and the mouse movements are much slower but if you are not that person

41
00:02:54,959 --> 00:03:00,560
and your goal is to say become very good at a game or a genre of games that

42
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:04,560
requires very fine Mouse control and precision then learning to play without

43
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:08,560
acceleration might reward you more for your troubles in the long term just be

44
00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:12,799
prepared to do a bit of learning in order to find the right combination of

45
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,360
hardware and software settings to get there there's a link in the description

46
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:21,920
to a guide on Team Liquid if you want to really dig into the technical aspects of

47
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:24,280
mouse acceleration and mouse technology

48
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:28,920
just prepare your brain for a little bit of learning that's about to go on

49
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:33,159
speaking of learning that's about to go on fra design didn't tell us what we're

50
00:03:31,439 --> 00:03:37,840
doing today so here we are with another fractal

51
00:03:35,799 --> 00:03:43,239
design integration on this channel why do these always end up being punishment

52
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:45,360
for me so instead of talking about uh

53
00:03:43,239 --> 00:03:50,319
you know the minimalistic Scandinavian design of fractal designs cases power

54
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:55,040
supplies coolers fans fans are also coolers but I think you get my point uh

55
00:03:52,840 --> 00:04:02,079
Josh over from fractal figured I needed a little bit more Scandinavian clean

56
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,840
design myself and asked for me to wax my

57
00:04:02,079 --> 00:04:07,040
mono brow that you guys are actually pretty fond of complaining about on this

58
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,400
particular Channel more than the other one I guess because the camera is

59
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:15,439
usually a little closer he also had a special request that Luke uh was to be

60
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:22,320
the one who stepped in here and did the honors so um fractal design basically

61
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:28,000
bad people people oh that's uh wow so how do we do

62
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:32,360
there not much actually came off you still definitely have all the hair there

63
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:38,199
well that is very unfortunate so it got to hurt and we have to do it again so

64
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:40,240
thanks to you Josh for being a swell guy

65
00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:43,800
and guys check out fractal design they're Linked In the video description

66
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:47,479
they sponsor the show they're mostly good people except for Josh and thanks

67
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:55,039
for watching guys like the video if you liked it dislike it if you disliked it and we will see you again next time oh

68
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:59,000
yeah and don't forget to subscribe oh it's sticky
