SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_SYSTEM_SCALE(3)

💖 SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_SYSTEM_SCALE 💖

okay bestie, this one lives in the SDL3 FUNCTIONS manual, and it's literally just a lil hint that decides whether your relative mouse motion gets run through the system's mouse acceleration curve. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_SYSTEM_SCALE — a variable controlling whether the system mouse acceleration curve is used for relative mouse motion. yes, it's a whole mouthful, but she's iconic for it. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_SYSTEM_SCALE "SDL_MOUSE_RELATIVE_SYSTEM_SCALE"

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so you can set this variable to these values, no cap:

• "0" — relative mouse motion will be unscaled. this is the default, the lil home base. 🏠
• "1" — relative mouse motion will be scaled using the system mouse acceleration curve.

and here's the tea, bestie: if SDL_HINT_MOUSE_RELATIVE_SPEED_SCALE is set, that will be applied after system speed scale. order matters, fr fr. 🫶

good news though — this hint can be set anytime. no timing anxiety, no waiting for the right moment, she's flexible like that. ✨

not me casually reminding you that the default is unscaled so if you're expecting acceleration you're gonna be confused 💀

---

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈

this hint is available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on something older... bestie, it's giving ancient. 👑
