[SOLVED] Is applying the no mouse acceleration reg file necessary?

[Bubble_Double]

I found some articles saying that applying this registry fix would remove all mouse acceleration, I didn't feel any major difference from just unchecking mouse acceleration on windows settings, but i noticed that i wasn't doing as good as before at games, my sensitivity felt the same but slight movements were different.
This is the part of the registry fix that differed from my normal settings
"SmoothMouseXCurve"=hex:\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
C0,CC,0C,00,00,00,00,00,\
80,99,19,00,00,00,00,00,\
40,66,26,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,33,33,00,00,00,00,00
"SmoothMouseYCurve"=hex:\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,38,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,70,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,A8,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,E0,00,00,00,00,00

Should i revert back to just unchecking mouse acceleration or is this better? Im on windows 10 20H2, using a logitech g203 at 800 dpi.

Never use registry hacks if you can avoid it there should not be any difference between the two methods

I reverted the registry changes, but can i know why you suggest to not apply registry hacks (out of curiosity)? I used to use them a lot on my old computer.

As long as you record what you would do and can I do it then there should be no problem with some hacks you can make windows become unstable. As a rule I don’t mess with that unless it’s absolutely necessary

Cruising through the Reg is fine, if and only if...

1. You need a known good registry export first, and know how to recover
2. You need a full drive backup, just in case
3. You need to know what exactly some random reg hack is trying to do. We see far too many people with - "I found this online and..." Dead system.
