Marvel Rivals introduces Raw Input feature: What is it, how to enable, and more

Marvel Rivals March 14 update introduced a much-awaited optimization feature in the game called Raw Input. The feature is intended for PC users and allows players to use the direct input from the mouse without being affected by other softwares or operating systems. In a competitive third-person hero-shooter, aiming and movement are crucial for success. As such, having the Raw Input from your mouse plays a crucial role in providing consistent aiming and tracking experience in the game.
This article will brief you on what the Raw Input feature is in Marvel Rivals, who it is for, and how to enable it in the game.



Raw Input is a new optimization feature in Marvel Rivals that allows the player to utilize the direct input from the mouse by bypassing external software and operating system influences.
Most operating systems have a default mouse acceleration setting that makes the mouse pointer react differently based on the speed of mouse movement. This hinders the consistency of aiming as the physical mouse movement doesn’t coincide with the movement of the cursor or reticle on screen. This throws off the muscle memory that is required to be developed in an aim-based competitive shooter.
This is where the Raw Input feature comes in and when enabled, allows the player to bypass this operating system mouse acceleration and feed the raw mouse input in the game. This results in more consistent aiming and tracking experience.
