Just turn on Raw Input and forget about inconsistent aiming because of Windows trying to 'help'. It's a game changer.

Raw Input in CS:GO lets the game read your mouse movements directly, without any interference from your operating system's mouse settings. This means mouse acceleration or any form of smoothing your OS applies won't affect your in-game aim. It's crucial for achieving consistent aim, especially in a precision-based game like CS:GO.

Raw Input is like telling your computer 'Hey, let CS:GO handle the mouse, you take a break.' It ignores all the extra processing your OS does on your mouse movements, making sure what you move is what you get on-screen. Perfect for competitive players who need every bit of precision.

Honestly, raw input? Overrated. I like the feeling of my OS settings blending with my gameplay. Makes it feel more natural.
