Floaty mouse fix

Post by atledass » 24 Sep 2025, 10:55

Hi, I have been struggeling with floaty mouse disease for years and last night i found the most stupid fix I have come by to date which has totally changed how my mouse feels for the better. I can finally consistently aim again.
The fix was double click speed in the additional mouse options tab under mouse settings in windows. It needs to be set to 6/11, mine was set to 7/11 and that caused the floaty feeling in the mouse. I can turn the floaty feeling on and off by changing this setting. I know its weird but this really works for me. Please try it out for yourself.

Settings -> Bluetooth and devices -> mouse -> additional mouse settings -> double-click speed 6/11

Hope it helps for people who struggle with this!

Highly unlikely that it does anything, even if it feels better. You can do a lot of stuff in Windows that will change the feel of your mouse but actually have no measurable effects. And most of these fade over time.

You need to see a doctor urgently
I'm not kidding, you seem to have a really bad case of OCD.

placebo or nonsense, in windows 10 or 11 standard 6\11 disabling acceleration is the standard

I hope this is a troll post, honestly. You know what the "floaty" mouse feeling is, but you still write something like this here? Look it up. The only time what you wrote could be a problem is if a game doesn't use raw input, because then Windows can interfere, but most FPS games use raw input.

I feel an improvement, also click latency is lower, I wouldn't call it a fix though.
