Then again, people who say that "anything is accurate in 480p game" don't really make sense to me because the precision required is still the same. A thing that's greatly improved my accuracy is playing Osu, especially if you don't use the keyboard at all and just click everything. | ||

I still have my G5 (refresh) and I still used a CRT when I got it. The 500 and 504 are also very nice. Removable weights are gimmicky though. Best mouse I played a shooter with was the "Logitech Optical wheel mouse", wich i modded by glueing on the rubber skin of a Basketball to the left MB. ![[image loading]](http://www.advanceddesignky.com/pictures/logoptical.jpg) | ||

Since brood war plays at 640x480, that means that 400dpi when playing brood war is the same as having 900dpi on a 1080p screen, for how far you have to move the mouse to cross the screen vertically. That's a very good sensitivity level and you should not deviate far from it. So 6/11 with pointer precision disabled, works better than 11/11 with pointer precision activated? My Cpi default settings are in the 1000's so should I set them down to about 400? | ||

Ok but if you keep it at 6/11 then you will need to lower your DPI on your mouse surely in order to get faster pointer movement? So how is that any better of a solution? YOu are literally giving away the sensor accuracy of your mouse by doing so | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.dansdata.com/images/logitechmx/mx300back520.jpg) best mouse ever! :D No seriously. You might have to try several ones and figure out which one is the best for you. I always prefered small and light mouses. I can not play with heavy/big ones because my hands are so small. You also have to play around with mouse speed, DPI and acceleration (i personally played without acceleration). | ||

![[image loading]](http://images.grosbill.com/imagesproduitnew/imagesgallery/BIG/21544.jpg) as stated above, i believe this logitech design is old and the best for gaming, i like simple efficient and cheap things, never got into the "ultra sophisticated" disney like mouse gaming with plenty of colors for i started gaming with this... ![[image loading]](http://dcicomp.com/old/parts/mouse%20mswheel.jpg) | ||

So how is that any better of a solution? YOu are literally giving away the sensor accuracy of your mouse by doing so By changing your windows settings, it doesn't only change your sensitivity, it also makes it so that your cursor skips pixels at random times. This means your movement is no longer consistent. It is in no way comparable to changing dpi on your mouse. I don't understand what you mean by bolded sentence. If I define pointer speed by the screen width divided by the amount of movement needed to cross that screen, in order for it to increase, you need to increase your dpi. The amount of 'dots per inch' moved increases, so you move your cursor a larger amount every inch you move your mouse. I don't really know much about the technical theory of mice, but in practice, when you need faster movement, you increase your dpi. When you need to be more accurate, you decrease your dpi. The optimal dpi is personal preference. Most important though is that your movement stays consistent regardless of dpi. When you make the same movement over and over again, your cursor will move the same way over and over again. This is not the case with editing speed in windows, and it is thus inferior.

It doesnt really matter which of the two one uses, as long as you use it consistently to avoid confusion.Isn't DPI for a printer? When I run my SteelSeries Engine for the mouse it says CPI Counts Per Inch. | ||

My Cpi default settings are in the 1000's so I should set them down to about 400? Enhanced pointer precision changes what the 1/11 - 11/11 slider does. You should have enhanced pointer precision disabled at all times with a mouse. It's just a huge amount of positive AND NEGATIVE acceleration. There are some niche uses for it, but it shouldn't be anywhere near any system running mouse intensive games for any reason. There are reasons to use some forms of mouse accel - but there is no reason to use the specific implementation that Windows has, because it's horrible. With the bar at 6/11 sensitivity (middle), you should adjust DPI until you have the sensitivity that you want. Remember that a huge range of sensitivity is fine and you should adjust to what's better, not particularly to what immediately feels good. Adjustment happens very quickly, a few hours to a few days or even a week to adjust to a major sensitivity change is nothing compared to the next 10 years of using a mouse. I've used everything from 360dpi to 3200dpi for a reasonably long period of time on 1080p. There's no way i'd deviate from ~900dpi +-35% now on that resolution now that i have all of the experience and knowledge, but it took me years of throwing myself into really uncomfortable stuff and using three different good mice to get to that point where i know with a very high amount of confidence what is approximately correct for what situation and why, which styles of movements go with which levels of sensitivity so i can adjust between them in hours instead of days-weeks, etc. | ||

One of the best gaming mouses coming from the same line as MX 300 -> G3 -> G100S (one of the best gaming series ever). It's also really cheap when you think about quality. I been using this mouse for BW for awhile now. I agree its really good for the price ($30 US) | ||

I managed to get 1:1 with in-game speed 9 and 1800dpi. I use mca64launcher to adjust in-game sens. 1:1 1800dpi on brood war (640x480) means taking 0.267 inches to cross the entire height of the screen, that's a very high sens (equivalent to over 4k dpi on 1080p) | ||
