What is Angle Snapping?

Angle snapping is a feature that smooths out a mouse movement to be straighter and compensates for any slight hand jitters a user has. Though most mouse has this feature, angle snapping in logitech depends on the model

When angle snapping is enabled, the mouse sensor predicts or adjusts the cursor movement to follow a straight path when the user is making a relatively horizontal or vertical motion. This can be particularly useful in tasks that require precision, such as graphic design or CAD work. In gaming, angle snapping on paper helps a player make consistent movements especially when doing large sweeping arm movements.

However, many users prefer to turn off angle snapping because it can interfere with the accuracy of aiming. When playing games, especially first-person shooters, users often want direct and unaltered control over the mouse movements, and angle snapping can introduce unwanted cursor movements.
