cl_mouseAccel
Increases cursor speed based on how fast you move the mouse. Most competitive players keep this at 0 for muscle memory consistency, though some pros use accelerationto combine low-sens tracking with high-sens turning. Note some of these pro accels are based off Quakelife.ru's configs. In 2026, ~80% of QPL pros use 0; accel is niche but effective for hybrids (tracking + flicks).
Pro Tip
Set your cap to 2× your base sensitivity. This ensures that even during the fastest flick of your life, your sensitivity never exceeds a 'controllable' high-sens limit. It effectively gives you the precision of a low-sens player for tracking and the speed of a high-sens player for 180° resets.
