RawAccel (Mouse acceleration):

If you want to be precise with headshots but also having flexibility to flick large distances or have more movement freedom for games like Apex, try using this mouse acceleration (definitely don't use Microsoft's busted one in Windows, ever.)
Download link: https://github.com/RawAccelOfficial/rawaccel/releases/download/v1.6.1/RawAccel_v1.6.1.zip
Start the installer, restart as needed
Open 'rawaccel.exe'
Settings (for starters):
- Sens Multiplier: 1
- Y/X: Ignore
- Rotation: 0
- Change Linear to Motivity
- Gain: Ticked
- Growth Rate: 1
- Motivity: 1.3
- Midpoint: 5
Click Apply and now play games, you will have to lower your original sensitivity.
KEY NOTE:
- Please watch your fps in games, Raw Accel will overload the engine of some games causing your highest polling rate to be lowered (due to more cpu overhead).
- In practice, this means that if you could do 2000hz polling rate on your mouse in a game, it may now only be 500hz or 1000hz with some hitching.
- Bear in mind that this downside may still be worth it (especially if you're still at least at 1000hz). Although, if you have 240hz, 2khz should be your target baseline (and 1600 dpi) to saturate the link.

Mouse settings (baseline targets you WANT to meet):

Polling rates:
- 0-180hz -> 1khz
- 180-360hz -> 2khz
- 360hz+ -> 4khz
- 8khz <- game dependent, do it if you can. If not, ignore, 4khz -> 8khz is very much close to imperceptible (requires aid of game sense and muscle memory to actually utilize it)
DPI/CPI Scaling:
- 0-180hz -> 800/1600 dpi
- 180-240hz -> 1600/3200 dpi (you may use 800 if you need to for a game engine, try to use 2khz polling rate in tandem with it though)
- 240hz+ -> 2400/3200dpi (leaning towards 3200dpi of course. Do not go over 3200 dpi, many sensors fake data above this number by extrapolating it)
Why use the above recommendations: Saturate the link and minimal latency while having the most fluid and accurate sensor positioning. If you set your mouse to 8khz but don't have a dpi of 3200, you will NEVER hit 8khz and most likely float in the ~1800-2600 range, you can measure this.

Other mouse settings:

Motion Sync
- Do you own a mouse with a Pixart 3950HS sensor? Or a Razer Focus Pro 30k/35k sensor?
  - No? Turn it off
  - Yes? On for everything but tactical shooters (CS2/Valorant). Also helps for tracking (Apex).
LOD
- Distance from surface before it doesn't track anymore
- Doesn't matter, set to what you're comfortable with.
- Glass Pads may require 1/2mm LOD due to the way sensors track on them.
Debounce time
- Double clicking? Turn this up till you don't.
- Optical sensor? Turn it to 0
Angle snap
- Off. Just get good.
Ripple Control / the setting that is usually merged with motion sync
- Don't go past 3200dpi? :D
High Speed Mode / Also usually merged with motion sync
- Turn off.
