No. Logitech mx300, 2 levels down from max speed, no aceleration.

I haven't tested in FPS yet.
You said wc3 was simpler than SC, wc3 is 3d, SC is 2d, therefore you can counter yourself.... OVazioFrio

No. I find low sensitivity and no acceleration to work wonders in FPS. The only time I really hear people use it would be in Quake/Unreal style games (rocket launchers).

Acceleration rocks - WinXP calls it "enchanced pointer precision" and for reason.

Imagine FPS game - if you use high sens, you can turn around quickly but you cant precisely aim at small target. If you use low sens, doing 180 degrees turn is next to impossible.

But if you use accel... small/slow mouse movements will result in small precise pointer movements. Faster mouse movement result in fast turns. So you can BOTH precisely aim and make insane 360-degrees rotations.

It's like floating point number versus fixed point number - using fixed point, you can set fixed exponent for desired number magnitude; using floating-point you can change exponent dynamically.

Prove me wrong.

We are talking about Starcraft, aren't we?

In FPS, I agree, acceleration is good, but in Starcraft precision is very meaningful, so acceleration sucks ass...

Edit: grammar...

I used to think that way Random().

It takes a lot of time to get used to and you should take into consideration - with acceleration a small mistake might result in a big one. Besides the cursor moves fast enough to take it across the screen in milliseconds. And if you want that AND very slow movement when necessary to be precise - it won't help that much. Slower movement won't help you to be more accurate/micro better.

tomson,

I am used to it... and it feels somehow 'right'. Besides, I never had problems with my mouse precision, I miss 'u' and 'o' hotkeys much more often than I miss something with mouse.
