How to Disable Pointer Precision for Gaming in Windows 11

For competitive and precision-based gaming, mouse accuracy is critical. One Windows feature that often interferes with consistent aim is Pointer Precision, commonly referred to as Mouse Acceleration, which is a Windows mouse setting that dynamically adjusts cursor movement based on how fast you move your mouse.

While useful for everyday office tasks, it can negatively impact gaming performance. Most PC gamers, especially those playing FPS, MOBA, or competitive titles—disabling Pointer Precision is benefit for consistent muscle memory, improving aim accuracy, and alignment with in-game sensitivity. This guide explains how to turn it off to enhance game experience in Windows 11.
