A user on reddit posted about certain values in the windows regedit in wine, when turning them off causes the game to feel more responsive in games that may use software cursor instead of hardware and these values have to do with mouse acceleration, some users are saying this doesnt affect wine/proton but i would like to hear from someone if this is true, as in my testing in the finals setting these values to 0 causes the game to feel better and doing 360s makes me hit the same spot easier with these values but this could be my imagination/placebo affect

If this is the case and it does affect the mouse could these be turned off so users dont have to manually go into the prefix and turn it off? As in a competitive fps it's important to have no mouse acceleration so you can be as accurate as possible, or atleast have a easier option to turn it off like if the user has selected this to be off on the desktop environment wine can detect and apply it automatically for the user

Are these related to Windows Pointer Speed? When I ran windows, mine was set to 4/11. I used to use https://www.mouse-sensitivity.com/ to convert mouse sensitivity between games. Some games are affected by WPS. Which in turn affects the calculation for the conversion.

If these values are still present in Wine/Proton and affect in-game sensitivity and not completely bypass it, then for competitive gaming, this is a big issue.

yes that is why im asking why this is enabled still in especially competitive games, some games use software cursor and that brings the mouse acell from windows in wine to take affect im pretty sure, i feel like they should change this for competitive games only as thats what is most important in those type of games, aim.
