As *Marvel Rivals*' competitive scene heats up, NetEase Games has answered player demand for a smoother, lag-free experience with the addition of Raw Input. This guide shows you how to use it.
What Is Raw Input in Marvel Rivals?

The March 14, 2025, Marvel Rivals patch introduced raw input optimization. This allows for direct mouse input, bypassing external interference for reduced lag and faster response times in online matches. It's a boon for PC players aiming to enhance their gameplay with quicker counters and improved team support. As the game evolves with new heroes and balance changes, faster reactions become increasingly crucial.
How To Use Raw Input in Marvel Rivals
Enabling raw input is simple. After launching the game, navigate to the settings menu. From the main menu, select "Settings," then "Keyboard" to access the PC control settings. Locate the new "Raw Input" option and enable it. You're ready for your next match!

The impact of Raw Input on the competitive scene remains to be seen; its effectiveness can vary. Individual experiences will differ, influenced by factors like monitor refresh rate and mouse input speed.
Beyond raw input, numerous settings can optimize your Marvel Rivals experience. Customize your crosshair style, adjust sensitivity, and experiment to find the perfect settings for accuracy and control. If raw input doesn't improve (or even hinders) your gameplay, simply disable it in the same settings menu.
Raw Input is a recent addition, so its long-term impact is still unfolding. Marvel Rivals, enjoying success since its first season, continues to grow in popularity with promised additions of heroes and villains. Hopefully, more player-enhancing features will follow.
Marvel Rivals is available now on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X|S.
