How to turn off mouse acceleration in Skyrim

mousepcthe-elder-scrolls-v-skyrim

Mouse acceleration seems to be on by default, and I can't find anywhere in the launcher settings or the in game settings to turn it off.

It's very annoying as it makes it feel as if the mouse is lagging. Is there any way to turn it off?

Best Answer

  1. Go to \Users\[Username]\My Documents\My Games\Skyrim
  2. Open the SkyrimPrefs.ini file with notepad
  3. Find the line bMouseAcceleration=1 (located under [Controls]) (If there is no line, add it)
  4. Replace the 1 with a 0
  5. Save the file (make sure you don't accidentally save it as SkyrimPrefs.ini.txt)
