No pro cs player plays with mouse acceleration that I've ever heard of, and I'm sure it would be noted if they did. Mouse accel sucks and I'm pretty sure pro sc players would play with it off as well.

I don't think you can enhance precision, the most important aspect is making sure your hand moves accurately as you want it to be.

I don't think acceleration makes much of a difference in any RTS, even Starcraft. However I keep it off for when I play FPS.

agreed. never even heard of the feature actually but my pointer doesn't accelerate when I move it, and I can't imagine playing properly if it did. All these years of micro have paid off where I don't need such a feature ;D

Understatement. I'm not sure I've ever heard of a competitive FPS player who uses mouse acceleration.

One of the epic fails (among many) in Unreal Tournament 3 is that it uses mouse acceleration by default, with no way to turn it off in the UI (you have to edit config files). What the hell were they thinking?

wait, can anyone DEFINE what the ACTUAL DIFFERENCE is? Is the previous definition correct? the mouse moves further if it moves faster?

You can get probably used to acceleration in starcraft, but i never liked it in Fps games so it's always off for me.I can't play with it turned on.

Yes.
It's obviously better to have this on since you usually drag faster when you want to move further (and would then speed up). But it takes a really long time to learn it so you can be accurate with it.

I don't understand what the OP is asking... if it is mouse acceleration, then no, I don't use it

As far as I know it's not indicated for SC at all, so I don't use it. I have a 1600 dpi Razor Krait, it works superbly and I don't feel like it needs any improvement at all precision or speed-wise.

basically a mouse with many DPI will be capable of moving extremely fast, and since DPI is actually the laser resolution (correct me if I'm wrong) it will have excellent precision, especially at mid-lower speeds (the speeds you'll use, because a mouse of 1600 dpi for example will move way too fast at max default-windows speed). You can set the speed so that it's comfortable, and you most likely have as much precision as you want. Enhance Precision and Acceleration are not really useful imo
