Rawaccel Convert

October 10, 2025 ยท View on GitHub

Tool for converting rawaccel curve settings to points. GUI version: Rawaccel Convert GUI.

CLI

rawaccel_convert CURVE_TYPE [OPTIONS]...

Filling all arguments is not required. Some curves conditionally change what they use based on other variables (ex: the Cap Type).

Warning

There is nearly zero input validation for both args and values. If you get a curve that doesn't make sense, check that you haven't made a typo. Visualizing your inputs with the Rawaccel Convert GUI may also help.

Global Args

These args apply regardless of the curve type you select.

  • --pointscaling (Default: sens): sens, velocity, libinput, libinputdebug, lookupvelocity, or lookupsens.

    Rawaccel's first graph uses sens, the second graph uses velocity.

    Libinput uses libinput. Libinput custom accel curve setup.

    To output libinput values matching the format of velocity use libinputdebug. The output of libinputdebug cannot be used in libinput directly.

    The lookupvelocity option outputs in the format of rawaccel's Look Up Table curve with the velocity setting.

    The lookupsens option outputs in the format of rawaccel's Look Up Table curve with the sens setting.

  • --pointcount (Default: 64): The number of points to include in the output.

    The maximum points libinput allows is 64.

  • --dpi (Default: 1200): Your mouse DPI. Controls the max input speed to calculate for.

  • --sens (Default: 1): The Sens Multiplier field in rawaccel.

  • --gain (Default: true): true or false. The Gain checkbox in rawaccel.

Curve types

Linear

  • --accel (Default: 0.005) The Acceleration field in rawaccel.

  • --captype (Default: output) output, input, or both. The Cap Type field in rawaccel.

  • --capin (Default: 15) The Cap: Input field in rawaccel.

  • --capout (Default: 1.5) The Cap: Output field in rawaccel.

  • --offsetin (Default: 0) The Input Offset field in rawaccel.

Classic

  • --accel (Default: 0.005) The Acceleration field in rawaccel.

  • --captype (Default: output) output, input, or both. The Cap Type field in rawaccel.

  • --capin (Default: 15) The Cap: Input field in rawaccel.

  • --capout (Default: 1.5) The Cap: Output field in rawaccel.

  • --offsetin (Default: 0) The Input Offset field in rawaccel.

  • --power (Default: 2) The Power field in rawaccel.

Jump

  • --smooth (Default: 0.5) The Smooth field in rawaccel.

  • --input (Default: 15) The Input field in rawaccel.

  • --output (Default: 1.5) The Output field in rawaccel.

Natural

  • --decay (Default: 0.1) The Decay Rate field in rawaccel.

  • --offsetin (Default: 0) The Input Offset field in rawaccel.

  • --limit (Default: 1.5) The Limit field in rawaccel.

Synchronous

  • --gamma (Default: 1) The Gamma field in rawaccel.

  • --smooth (Default: 0.5) The Smooth field in rawaccel.

  • --motivity (Default: 1.5) The Motivity field in rawaccel.

  • --syncspeed (Default: 5) The SyncSpeed field in rawaccel.

Motivity

Note: Motivity has been superceded by Synchronous

  • --growthrate (Default: 1) The Growth Rate field in rawaccel.

  • --motivity (Default: 1.5) The Motivity field in rawaccel.

  • --midpoint (Default: 5) The Midpoint field in rawaccel.

Power

  • --scale (Default: 1) The Scale field in rawaccel.

  • --captype (Default: output) output, input, or both. The Cap Type field in rawaccel.

  • --capin (Default: 15) The Cap: Input field in rawaccel.

  • --capout (Default: 1.5) The Cap: Output field in rawaccel.

  • --exponent (Default: 0.05) The Exponent field in rawaccel.

  • --offsetout (Default: 0) The Output Offset field in rawaccel.

Lookup

  • --points (Default: ) The Look Up Table text box in rawaccel. Split X/Y axis accel is not supported.

    Do not include whitespace in your list of points.

    You may need to wrap the points in quotes to avoid some shells interpreting ; as a command.

    Example:

    --points="1.505035,0.85549892;4.375,3.30972978;13.51,15.17478447;140,354.7026875;"

  • --applyas (Default: sens) sens or velocity. The Apply as field in rawaccel.

Examples

rawaccel_convert classic --sens=0.25 --accel=0.0315 --captype=input --capin=34 --power=2.5 --dpi=1600

For Developers

Rawaccel Convert doubles as a crate that can be added as a dependency to your Rust projects.

This project is zero-depenency and only requires the Rust std and core language features. Because of this, it will barely add any extra compile time to your project.

Due to it not being published on crates.io, adding the crate is a little different from most. Simply add the git repo and commit hash to your Cargo.toml.

Basic docs are available here.

Examples

Replace COMMIT_HASH_GOES_HERE with the commit hash you wish to use.

[dependencies]
rawaccel_convert = { git = "https://github.com/Kuuuube/rawaccel_convert.git", rev = "COMMIT_HASH_GOES_HERE" }

For example, to use version 0.1.3 the commit hash is 1b090cb684fc47d211ef5c6d1985572fb338ebc9:

[dependencies]
rawaccel_convert = { git = "https://github.com/Kuuuube/rawaccel_convert.git", rev = "1b090cb684fc47d211ef5c6d1985572fb338ebc9" }
