🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_HINT_MOUSE_NORMAL_SPEED_SCALE — bestie, this is the variable that sets the speed scale for mouse motion, in floating point, for when the mouse is not in relative mode. 🖱️✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_MOUSE_NORMAL_SPEED_SCALE "SDL_MOUSE_NORMAL_SPEED_SCALE"

Like, that's the whole thing. A #define and a string that's literally the same as the macro name. Iconic behaviour honestly. 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the vibe: this hint can be set anytime. No waiting, no "gotta init first", no "oops wrong moment". Whenever you feel like it. Main character energy fr fr. 🦋

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

This hint has been around since SDL 3.2.0. She's not new new, but she's not ancient either. Lowkey a queen. 👑

🫶 reminder bestie: it's a speed scale, it's floating point, and it only matters when the mouse is not in relative mode. That's the whole tea. Don't overthink it.
