just wondering, how does having NO exceleration help your accuracy?

im guessing your not comfortable with having it that high.

i have everything set to the highest.

once you have it at its highest, you wanna go higher cuz it alway seems like its not fast enough.

The MS algorithm is faster than your brain. You can never compensate for high accel.

used to play WITH mouse acceleration, then change to WITH OUT after quitting WC3 since WC3 doesn't allow mouse acceleration.
Cuz Im hopeful, yes I am, hopeful for today, Take this music and use it. Let it take you away, And be hopeful (hopeful) and hell make a way. I know it aint easy but thats okay. Lets be hopeful!

without, and mouse speed low.
It's because i'm an fps player too and it just feels better, and with lower sens your accuracy is better.

It is more a question about mouse and its drivers
Different mouses have different speed and acceleration settings %)
I use mx310 with mouseware at max speed and high accel
You can practice with mx series mouses and for example microsoft drivers %)
It lowers the max speed and have some strange settings of accel %)

i think to have it on high speed and high accel you need to be able to move your hand a millimeter at a time --v because i for sure cant micro for shit at that speed

That guy is probably bullshitting about fastest/highest accel..you seriously can barely move your hand and it bounces around. You can't even like do a little movement, it's impossible without straining your hand. Low accel is great, it doesn't make your mouse out of control, it just seems a little faster

We should all be like Blackman and have everything maxed out. Then, we too can have awesome macro.

You can easily get accustomed to max speed and accel
If you want that to be so you must increase speed once per day for example
High accel for me is just speed*4 %)
Do somebody knows what mouse settings gosu use?

with no acceleration a simple movement of the wrist or thumb or ring finger will be a very reliable motion no matter what speed you do it. with accel you basically will move less distance if you move too slowly, extra distance if quickly, so you not only have to repeat the exact desired distance, but the exact required speed as well. the main reason i dont like accel, though, is that, even on low, the difference between "slow" moving and "fast" moving is just too great. if you think of the speed you normally (with accel on) as your top speed, what having accel on does is.. slow you down, when you're moving the mouse less than that speed. i dont want the mouse to move relatively slower just because im moving the mouse less than fastest i normally do; i dont want any small movements to be even smaller.

I used to play with acceleration and was very accurate with it. Whoever says acceleration is not accurate and sucks should speak only for himself. It's just a matter of personal preference. I now play without acceleration for the reasons of finding out that most good players play without it and because my new mouse drivers made it very difficult to configure acceleration the same as default windows drivers...
