Can't get rid of mouse accel!

I've tried nearly every conventional method of turning mouse acceleration off that most searches would lead me to (EPP off, raw input, mouse acceleration off in-game) but nothing seems to work. My mouse just always feels uncomfortably fast/slippery even at 9in/360 and lowering my sensitivity doesn't seem to make a difference. I also use a Zowie FK so the acceleration shouldn't be caused by the mouse. Anyone have suggestions or a possible solution to fix this?

Thanks, but I've tried this a couple of times on different occasions and it doesn't remove that feeling. I use a SteelSeries QcK which I bought around the same time as the Zowie which was pretty recent so I don't think it would have worn out that much. I also tried just playing on printer paper (lol) since I was getting kind of desperate and it didn't seem to make a difference.

Try disabling steam cloud (tf2 adv settings and steam) then have your raw input settings in autoexec.

takramTry disabling steam cloud (tf2 adv settings and steam) then have your raw input settings in autoexec.

I've already had Steam Cloud disabled for quite a while, haha. I've been re-installing TF2 quite a lot the past month to try and fix this also. I also re-installed windows yesterday and installed TF2 on a brand new account. By having raw input settings in autoexec, do you just mean put m_rawinput 1 in autoexec? I'll try that out and see how it goes.

Put these in your autoexec:

m_rawinput 1
m_customaccel_exponent 0
m_customaccel_max 0
m_customaccel_scale 0
m_filter 0
m_forward 1
m_mouseaccel1 0
m_mouseaccel2 0
m_mousespeed 1
m_customaccel 0
m_yaw 0.022 //needs to be this default value for raw input

And try these in your launch options:
-useforcedmparms -noforcemaccel -noforcemspd

Also the MarkC accel fix mentioned in #2 helps in a lot of cases.

AyRdo you notice this in only tf2 or in other games as well?

Well, I played L4D2 a couple of days ago and it felt about the same. I would set my sensitivity as low as possible and it would still feel uncomfortably high.

Well, a couple of months/weeks ago I would experience weirder sensitivity issues. My sensitivity felt like it would randomly speed up or slow down. It became really obvious when I rocket jumped since I was using 9ish inches. It would either take up most of my mousepad or all I would have to do is a tiny flick (now it feels like it's just consistently sped up).

I recently cleaned my mousepad and the sensor the other day. And I use those exact mouse settings except I set m_mousespeed 0. I heard those those launch options only work for older versions of Windows but I have tried it in the past and found it didn't really help.
