What is Angle Snapping?

Angle snapping, also known as prediction, is a feature found in some gaming mice that helps users draw straight lines by adjusting the cursor's path to follow a straight line or a predefined angle, regardless of the actual movement of the mouse. This feature works by predicting the user's intention to make a straight movement and correcting minor deviations in the cursor's path to maintain a straight trajectory.

While angle snapping can be beneficial for tasks requiring precise straight lines, such as graphic design or certain productivity tasks, it is generally considered detrimental for competitive gaming. In fast-paced games, especially first-person shooters, angle snapping can interfere with the player's ability to make precise micro-adjustments, as it may incorrectly assume the user wants to move in a straight line, potentially causing missed shots.

Most modern gaming mice do not include angle snapping by default, as high-quality sensors are designed to provide raw, unaltered input for maximum accuracy.

Our recommendation is to have this function disabled.
