Which one is better in the long run when it comes down to better precision when having beatmaps with tons of distant jumps? or overall which one is better?
i got my mouse dpi extremely low and got used to it, the only thing i wanna know is: what difference mouse acceleration makes?

Usually, you want to have as little mouse acceleration as possible.

Mouse acceleration introduces more variables to movement (to move from point A to point B, you don't only have to move the mouse a certain amount, but also you have to do it at a certain speed), making muscle memory harder to acquire. Also, mouse acceleration is a big contributor to mouse drifting (it causes the mapping between the physical position of the mouse and the position of the cursor to change over time, so you have to lift the mouse to relocate it periodically).

Basically avoid mouse acceleration like plague, use the lowest dpi possible, and floss.
