My only concern is whether something like this is legal in Overwatch? At first I figured it would be okay, because it affects my mouse inputs before they even reach by game.

IвЂ™ve found this new mouse acceleration very comfortable to use in shooters despite playing with it off for years, so IвЂ™m not here to debate whether mouse acceleration is good for aim or not. This changes what your mouse itself is sending to the computer/game, allowing you to use mouse acceleration (and a bunch of other, weirder stuff) even in games with Raw Input.

This driver essentially takes your mouse inputs and applies mouse acceleration to them. IвЂ™ve recently been using a mouse driver by a TF2 player named Povohat.

This means that no matter what my Windows sensitivity is or what my Pointer Precision is set to, IвЂ™ll always have the same sensitivity in Overwatch if I run the same DPI and In-Game sens. However, Raw Input means the game takes inputs directly from your mouse, bypassing all the settings that you have in Windows.

This means that if your Windows sensitivity is modified, or you have вЂњEnable Pointer PrecisionвЂќ turned on, then your sensitivity in-game will be affected. YouвЂ™re probably used to a lot of games using your Windows mouse inputs to do things in game. If youвЂ™re not aware, Overwatch uses something called Raw Input. I think a modification like this is more reasonable, but again I stopped because I felt like it might be unfair and for other reasons.Д«ut now, IвЂ™m in a situation that I think might not be as cut-and-dry (although I think my previous point about crosshairs could be fixed with even more crosshair options, perhaps an option to draw a crosshair). I used a program that drew a separate window of a crosshair over my Overwatch window, but stopped using it after a few days because I need to run the game in Windowed mode for it to work. At one point, I wanted to use a Circle Crosshair combined with a regular Short Crosshair on Tracer, so I had a main crosshair to line up shots with and a circle to illustrate my weapon spread. However, some competitive games allow for the use of macros.ДЄnother issue is the topic of mouse acceleration and screen overlays.

I never enjoyed using them as I felt they didnвЂ™t really provide a substantial amount of benefit for the hassle required to set them up, plus I always felt like they were borderline cheating so I didnвЂ™t bother. Macros have always been a point of contention in games. You would still have to Aim your abilities, but the button presses themselves are facilitated by a single click. You could, for example, have a macro that presses RMB>LShift>RMB for Genji Dash combos. You have a program that essentially reads game data and abuses it to give you extra information or aim for you.Д«ut whatвЂ™s the consensus on third-party programs that do not directly interact with the game? One example (although IвЂ™ve never tried it before) is using macro programs such as the ones built into your mouse to press button combos to automate processes. Now, of course, we all know downloading cheats is obviously wrong, and that it is definitely not allowed. Better peripherals, faster monitors, proper mouse settings, etc.Д«ut one thing thatвЂ™s in somewhat of a gray area is the use of external programs. In Overwatch, thereвЂ™s a lot of things you can do outside of the game to get an advantage.

IвЂ™ve seen this question asked a few times, and I just wanna clarify that itвЂ™s okay.
