mouse accel

Does apex legends allow the use of external software(in my case, Raw Accel / povohat) for mouse accelerators?

  • @ajapa_ny It's my understanding that running any external software runs the risk of getting picked up by the anti cheat software.

    Generally though if it gives you an unfair advantage like let's say it increases your mouse acceleration passed normal limits then you'd be cheating.

    @DoYaSeeMe You'll have to forgive me as I play on console but I'm guessing it works the same on PC. Is this the same setting so you can organise your invent? Or does it govern everything on pc?

    @GH0STEDbyME No, this acts like a DPI multiplier. To explain this in simple terms: if you move the mouse 5cm slowly , your view in game will turn let's say 90 degrees, but if you move 5cm in a fast manner, your view will turn 180. The faster you move, the faster it will turn.

    It is a useful thing for people that need more fine tuning for aiming and tracking, but want to still be fast when switching targets or view/ movement direction or don't have much space available for their arms in order to perform a full 360 view rotation.

    It somewhat resembles aim assist, which is also using a multiplier, but for decelerating the pointer when it's close to a visible target.
