About the Smooth Mouse Curve Registry...

Post by dude03 » 11 Jul 2025, 04:07

Hi, I joined because I had a question:
From what I've seen so far, tweakers and pro gamers usually set the
smooth mouse curve registry value like this.

Does anyone know how that value differs from the default and if it's used because it has more positive impact?

Is it better to delete both smoothmousexcurve and smoothmouseycurve than to leave them with a value of 0?

At the moment I like setting them to zero and leaving them be. Deleting registry values usually comes with consequences even if they aren't visible.

Does it feel the same to delete a registry value as it does to make the value all zero?

I made the values all zero.
Did I do it right?

I don't see those options in the registry, and
why are you enabling that throttle option? Shouldn't you disable the throttle for minimal input lag?
