I don't get people that say you can't control it. That's ridiculous. Why did you bother buying the mouse anyway if you aren't even gonna use it's full potential. You might say just for the better stock tracking but that's hardly THAT much of a difference. Just lower your sens and it'll feel the same as 400 or whatever. It is very very easy to get used to 1600 or more dpi, hell I'd expect at least that much from people at a starcraft forum. The only times you should use around 400 dpi is if you're an artist or something and you need very specific detail. Edit: Also it's important to use the highest hertz of your mouse as well. Most usb ports limit this. Refer to this extremely helpful thread, works for most newer mice: http://teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=41584 | ||

Its design is superior to most (if not all) mouse manufacturers. I've experimented with all sorts of different speeds from max (1600) to about 400. Interestingly enough, I found that I play better on 400 than I do on 1600. But I ended up settling at around 800. You don't buy mice just for the DPI. You buy it for the ergonomics, the quality, the feel. btw my mouse is set to 1000 Hz ~_~ | ||

1600 in windows, 1200 dpi in sc with windows mouse acceleration at 6 which is supposed to be 1:1 aka it doesnt skip pixels in order to move the cursor faster. XCetron I have the x750, can you overclock your usb polling rate with your mouse? | ||

I may be misunderstanding you, but why is the dpi for 1:1 mouse movement vs pixel coverage different in SC from in windows? I imagine it is the resolution, but sc runs at 640x480, and I imagine most people run windows at 1024x768 or higher; 640/1024 = .625, while 1200/1600 (dpi) =.75. These are different ratios. | ||

For example, if you try to quickly select a group of units in BW with a cheap mouse, your "box selection" will start off a bit late. And oh, since people mentioned it... back when I play Counter-strike, I measured my sensitivity based on how many 360's I could do too. On 1024x768 resolution, my CS sensitivity was 18.5, and full Windows sensitivity. That's about 6x 360s per mousepad slide. unless you have a mousepad the size of a pillow, that's way too freaking high. "average" sens at even the most basic of competitive fps levels is considered about 30 cm/1 foot per 360, slow paced games like cs are frequently lower, fast paced games like quake/ut are occasionally higher. it's all a matter of playstyle and preference, but i have no idea how you can accurately headshot with such a ridiculous sens (maybe you're bad at cs?) | ||

That's not a ridiculous sensitivity. It's been a long time since I've played, but back when I played, that just a little bit higher than the average sensitivity for MOST good CS Snipers (from general consensus of other friends who played and asking online). I bet that since then, gameplay has changed dramatically in CS. At the time, it fit gameplay perfect. Most people didn't have a clue on how to take out a well-positioned experienced sniper using different types of "tricks." CS now had shields, different flash grenade effects, etc. that have probably changed the game quite a bit. At that time, a good sniper was a sniper who can keep watch of two or more locations at the same time. On some maps even, it was particularly easy to get "shanked" (or knifed) because of the relative close proximity of bases. Therefore, it was necessary to have high sensitivity to be able to constantly monitor all 360 degrees. Games were so much more fast paced back then too. I noticed that when I left, clan matches started to get really slow (i.e. terrorist teams literally crawling to the bomb location on de_ maps). People also started to get really good with AKs and M4s to the point where a sniper could get sniped himself with one. I don't know if I can really explain all of this that well, but I kid you not... that's what my sensitivity was. | ||
