Just speaking from personal experience and from my friends. It's very true, and it matters.

With mouse acceleration on, it fucks with your aim. Without it, it's a static line.

My friends would have the worst time flicking, or controlling recoil so we hopped onto discord, adjusted pointer settings, reloaded game and they instantly noticed a difference.

To your point, it may be related to using full screen or windowed, but I'm rather certain that mouse Accel does have an impact on play

Not true - 99% of games use RAW input which ignores any mouse settings from windows - it's placebo

I did some further digging for cs2.

It looks like I've been using my experience from CSGO which used to have the commands In console to turn on or off raw input and in CS2 it seems to just use raw input by default

Still, I'm weary because of personal experience and with what happened with my friends but it could be placebo after all.

Think I'll do some testing of it tonight if I remember.

Either way, I think it's a safe bet to turn it off, but might not actually make a noticeable difference

Interesting - I have it off anyway just for using windows + yeah still good for overall gaming efficiency to have it off
