I would refrain from saying "gaming on MacBook" because it creates confusion about whether one is using Windows or macOS. When playing on Windows (Bootcamp) the MacBook is just a regular Intel based hardware, the experience is no different from using any other laptop out there (aside from Windows install process). Playing on macOS that's another story. Mouse acceleration can not be disabled, switching to and from fullscreen games is sometimes buggy, and not many popular names are available natively on macOS.

Tangentially, I know of killmouseaccel[1] which does exactly what it says: disables mouse acceleration on macOS. However, it needs to be executed at every restart, or deamonized. [1] https://github.com/docwhat/killmouseaccel https://github.com/docwhat/killmouseaccel

  SteerMouse, among other things, has a nice total bypass for it. Here, I am just using the raw DPI and linear movement of my mouse: https://i.imgur.com/xEEjjVD.png https://i.imgur.com/xEEjjVD.png http://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/ http://plentycom.jp/en/steermouse/ They have a more focused product too, but I haven't tried that personally: http://plentycom.jp/en/cursorsense/ http://plentycom.jp/en/cursorsense/ --- As I understand it, Windows too has mouse-acceleration that remains (rather subtly) even after disabling "Enhance pointer precision" in Control Panel. When I was into competitive gaming, there was a Registry fix doing the rounds that got rid of it completely.
