Most Windows desktop applications don't use full-screen mode or raw input.

Games that use "raw mouse input" in windowed mode and bypass the input scaling of Windows (only output is scaled).Games that run in full-screen mode and bypass the output scaling of Windows (only input is scaled).However, there are two scenarios in which scaling can be mismatched: Scaling both input and output guarantees a consistent experience for the application user.
