There was a problem hiding this comment.
The comment still says "Turn off mouse acceleration (default: false)", but accel_profile is a string setting (e.g., flat/adaptive), so the "default: false" wording is now misleading. Consider updating the comment to reflect the actual default profile (or remove the default note) to avoid confusion for users enabling this line.
