Value for Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse X")

Unity Engine
1

I see that it is possible to get mouse movement information through Input.GetAxisRaw(“Mouse X”). But I am unsure what value it actually returns. Is it the movement distance between two frames? Or is it the mouse speed(unit/s) at that frame? If it is the speed, what’s it unit, is it m/s?

Thanks in advance.

The number of units the mouse moved. It varies depending on the mouse since they have different DPI.

Thanks for your reply. And just want to confirm, this value is not affected by any OS mouse acceleration function. It is whatever raw value mouse is giving to any machine. Is this correct?

I doubt there’s any difference between GetAxis and GetAxisRaw with mouse movement since it has to do with keyboard/joystick filtering with the GetAxis settings. As far as I know neither are affected by OS acceleration.
