Q: Does this mouse auto-install an intrusive software suite or need the user to constantly be logged into an account, like Razer requires?

Alright. Comprehensive answer time. When it was initially released, it had a software suite that you needed to download to use all the fancy lighting options. IT DOES NOT REQUIRE THIS TO FUNCTION as a mouse. You don't need to install any intrusive or annoying software. In fact, on many computers, the software has been upgraded to the point where you might not even be able to find a version that is still supported. Depending on how new your computer is, you might not need/want to install it anyway. It works as a good mouse and you can slave the buttons out just like any other human interface device from your system control panels. If you WANT the suite, and your computer supports it, it's an easy download and the only intrusive things that will be installed are the ONES YOU CHOOSE TO INSTALL during the install... click a button, get a result. That's on you. But as far as annoying, memory hog, spyware and the like: no... you can do that if you want to by going looking for them, but those aren't required. I'm literally using this mouse right now with nothing installed beyond the drivers that windows used to recognize it as a mouse. Works great. Only thing I can't do is have the LEDs stick on one color since I don't use the suite. Upside, the LEDs are there for show in the first place so the rainbow cycling isn't a fundamental issue.

Q: It feels fine to aim, but turning around fast and movement while looking like turning sharp corners feels really off. Suggestions?

Most likely had angle enabled. Download the steel series software. And disable it. Also recommend disabling windows mouse acceleration aka precision. You want raw Input as a beginner to pc gaming.
