Mouse Aceleration

[zlFrosT]

Hi, I wanted to know what you thought of mouse acceleration through software?
Is it bad for muscle memory?

can mouse acceleration be an advantage?
And what software would you recommend for mouse acceleration?

As long as it's consistent and preferably linear you should be able to play just as well with acceleration, it used to be fairly popular back in the Quake days so I don't see how it wouldn't be viable. 

Whether or not it's an advantage is hard for anyone else to say, personally I prefer my input to stay constant so I tend to avoid it but if you feel you'd benefit from being able to have the ability to do quick 180s while retaining a otherwise (very) low sensitivity it could be beneficial to you. 

As far as software goes your best, and probably only, option is povohats mouse driver. It can be a bit tricky to understand at first but once you know how it works you should be able to dial in the acceleration curve to fit you preference. It can also be used to allow a higher range of sensitivity options for mice with preset dpi steps like Zowies which is nice enough on it's own. I seem to recall some other similar program with a graph based gui but I don't remember the name, it might have been based on the Intercept driver as well so you could try searching for that if you're interested in it.
