AccelProfiles

Zero JSON editing. Just open, switch, game.

---

A drop-in replacement for the Raw Accel GUI with a built-in profile manager, system tray icon, CLI loader, and GameMode that auto-switches profiles when your games launch.

Anti-cheat safe — the Raw Accel driver is never touched. Only the GUI is replaced.

Features

Profiles

	Feature	Description
	Save / Load	Save your current settings as a named profile. Click to load instantly.
	Rename / Delete	Right-click any profile in the menu to rename or delete it.
	Export / Import	Export a profile to a .json file. Import it on another machine.
	Restore Defaults	One click to reset back to Raw Accel defaults (no acceleration).
	Desktop Shortcuts	Generate a desktop shortcut for each profile.
	Shareable	Each profile is just a settings.json in a folder. Drag it in and it works.

GameMode

Automatically switch profiles when your games launch — and switch back when they close.

Profiles > GameMode
├── ON / OFF              ← toggle the watcher
├── Default Profile        ← pick from dropdown (defaults to Windows)
├── Bind Game to Profile   ← pick a running process or type the exe name
└── Current Bindings       ← click to unbind

• Polls every 3 seconds — detects launches and exits fast
• Config saved to gamemode.json next to rawaccel.exe
• Persists across restarts — enable once, it auto-starts every time

Launch at Startup

Enable More > Launch at Startup to run AccelProfiles silently on boot. Pairs with GameMode — profiles switch automatically without opening anything.

Default Profile

A Windows profile (no acceleration, 1:1 pass-through) is created automatically on first launch. It works at any DPI. Set it as your GameMode default or delete it and use your own.

Tray & CLI

• System tray — switch profiles without opening the window. Close the app to minimize to tray.
• CLI — rawaccel.exe -p <name> applies a profile silently, even while the GUI is open.
