Perplexed, I searched up and down the internet for help. I disabled it again, and the same thing happened. ![]() Unfortunately a few minutes later, after an on the fly DPI change, it was back on somehow. I disabled Enhance Pointer Precision in control panel, and tested to make sure it was off, which it was. Having encoutered other settings being reset after a Windows update, I immediately blamed it on a recent update. This annoys me a great deal after having used a computer without it for so long, and it caught my attention almost immediately. All was well at first, until I noticed Mouse Acceleration was on for some reason. So I switched to "Automatic Game Detection", in hopes that it would suit me better. My issue was forgetting to change the profile to "Desktop" after playing a game, and losing battery life as a result. ![]() My other profiles last significantly less time. The desktop profile prioritizes battery life above all else, turning off the DPI indicator, and lowering the polling rate to 125, to increase life to the maximum 35 hours. I commonly switch between a generic gaming profile, a CS:GO profile, and a Desktop profile. Long Version - I recently changed modes, from "On-board Memory", to "Automatic Game Detection", in the pursuit of a longer battery life. With mouse acceleration if you move your mouse 1 inch slowly, the pointer will move 1 inch, if you move the mouse that same 1 inch quickly, the pointer will move 2 inches. In layman's terms, with mouse acceleration on, a movement of one unit (depending on DPI and sensitivity) results in different amounts of on-screen movement, depending on the speed at which that distance is traversed, whereas without acceleration, the ratio is 1:1, meaning the same movement of the mouse will result in the same movement on screen, regardless of speed. This option is not available when using the "On-board Memory" mode for some reason, which is why I didn't check the options.įor those of you that don't know, Mouse acceleration changes the slope of mouse movement from linear to exponential, where x is the speed of the mouse, and y is the speed of the pointer on your screen. TL DR - To disable mouse acceleration when using Logitech's "Automatic Game Detection" mode for their gaming software, you must disable mouse acceleration (Enhance Pointer Precision) from within Logitech's own software, under the "pointer settings" tab, not just from within control panel.
