 **Debug console**: To aid in dialing in your settings just right, a debug mode exists to print mathy details to the console. The debug console will print your current DPI setting and variable settings, as well as the acceleration factor, the input and output velocity, and the input and output distance. Refer to the QMK documentation on how to *enable the console and debugging*, then enable mouse acceleration debugging in `config.h`:
 ```c
-#define MACCEL_DEBUG

+/**
+ * To view mouse's distance/velocity and curve parameters while configuring maccel,
+ * set `CONSOLE_ENABLE = yes` in `rules.mk`, uncomment the lines below,

+Finally, linearity for low CPI settings works better when pointer task throttling enforces a lower frequency from the default 1ms, to have more time to gather "dots", ie. add something like this in your `config.h`:
+
+```c
+// Reduce pointer-task frequency (1ms --> 5ms) for consistent acceleration on lower CPIs.
