I did wonder about the pointer speed, mine is set one mark above the middle, and my mouse is set at 1800 DPI (highest for this mouse), since I feel I get more accuracy from the mouse software than windows. But I assume he's still using his ball mouse, and he sets it way low, yet he still moves his mouse very quickly. How does this work?

If you use it or don't isn't going to make the difference, so it doesn't actually matter. But if you need a reason not to turn it off, Idra, Testie and most top foreigners I've talked to do use it, so it's not a bad thing. I've personally used both (accel for three years, non for about half a year) and it goes back to the first sentence.

The only big disadvantage to using accel is that it's quite a bit different from XP to Vista, so if you use XP at home and go to a LAN with Vista (or vica versa), you might not be able to get used to the change and will cry.

I never have it on and never notice any trouble with the mouse. I don't even have the speed turned up that high though so I guess that's just my preference... and for those who still don't know if you want to deactivate it nowadays it is often disguied as "increase pointer precision" so uncheck that.

I turned off the mouse acceleration that came a long with the drivers years ago. I remember having some troubles microing, as the pace of the mouse would accelerate and i'd missclick and lose a bunch of units for no reason.

But like a year ago or so, I found out that there's an implented mouse-acceleration in windows and downloaded a "mouse-fix" to turn it off. The mouse movement is a lot smoother after that, and the clicks a lot more accurate.

Without acceleration, the movement is a linear function. With accel its harder for brain to get used to. So, no wise person would use acceleration.
