Marvel Rivals’ player base is still growing each day due to its popularity, but a distinct gap is emerging between console and PC communities, spurred by discrepancies in features and performance. Both platforms support crossplay in casual modes, bringing friends from different systems together, however, Competitive Mode separates them—PC players compete separately from console fighters, most likely due to input differences.
Console players benefit from aim assist, which improves controller precision, and PC gamers can enjoy improved graphics fidelity and frame rates. However, a new feature introduced for PC players has further tipped the scale in their favor which improves control responsiveness, potentially widening the skills gap.
Marvel Rivals introduces Raw Mouse Input feature for PC players
In the most recent March 13 update for Marvel Rivals, NetEase has introduced a new Raw Input feature for PC players that enables them to gain an input boost on their mouse and smoother movement, thus resulting in faster response times.
This setting can be found under the Keyboard -> Combat section under Mouse and is turned off by default. Enabling the setting will read the raw mouse input data during movement, preventing factors other than the mouse itself from affecting sensitivity. This means the game bypasses your default Windows curser and click settings and will only base it’s input on your mouse’s setting on a software if you use any.
PC players have shown their gratitude to NetEase upon adding this setting to the game as they took to social media to talk about their experience. Furthermore, if you’re wondering if this is independent of Mouse Acceleration, the answer is yes.
Even if you’ve turned that on, the game will still use raw input if you have this setting turned on so your mouse options from other games such as Fortnite or Apex do not overlap. If you’re looking for more such settings in Marvel Rivals, check out this setting that can massively help you during matches.
