Performance Impact: None
in_mouse
Selects mouse input API: 0 disables; 1 DirectInput (OS-processed, potential lag/smoothing); 2 Raw Input (direct hardware, 1:1 precision). Raw (2) eliminates Windows interference for consistent aim—restart required.
💡
Pro Tip
Raw Input (2) is mandatory for every serious player, but the hidden trick is to also set in_mouse 2 in your autoexec.cfg AND add +set in_mouse 2 to your launch options — some Windows 11 installs still revert it on startup.
