Mouse acceleration in CS:GO changes how your cursor moves based on the speed you move your mouse. So, if you flick your mouse quickly, the cursor will move a greater distance than if you moved your mouse the same distance but slower. It's like your mouse is saying 'Oh, we're rushing? Let me help you sprint!' Some players love it because it allows for quick turns, but others prefer to keep it off for consistent aim.

Mouse acceleration? Just turn it off. If you're serious about your CS:GO game, you'll want that consistent aim where a cm is a cm, no matter how fast your hand moves. No surprises, just precision!

Honestly, mouse acceleration messed with my aim more than helped. Every time I thought I got the hang of it, along came a wild flick that threw me off. Turned it off, and never looked back. Best decision for my CS:GO plays.
