Customizable mouse acceleration curves allow for the advantages of accel without the disadvantages of traditional "desktop use" variants.

RawAccel (Windows) & YeetMouse (Linux) accel is based on Quake Live's accel, which allows for precise tracking movement while still being able to quickly turn 180°.

why does mouse acceleration even exist

It exists on all operating systems, just seemlessly-enough to escape notice. Try turning it off, and you'll see why.

You should, on higher-resolution monitors, or with high-dpi mice. Indispensible for touchpads, eraser nubs, and trackballs.
