well.. u jerk to move teh mouse.. and then u stop... ur slowing down.. you know that last part where you negotiate the mouse to its target? with accel on, those movements would be smaller, which should be a good thing. so accel might mean faster jerks and smaller adjustments. i got used to it before but right now i'm not.

Hmmmm under where I set my mouse speed there is a little box that says "precision clicking on" that was checked, and I turned it off and my mouse seemed much faster, except it was hard for me to re-check the box because my mouse wouldn't slow down

the prob i have with acceleration is that really if you do a short movement it's usually way too slow or you do a longer movement and it's way too fast, there's no getting it just right. maybe with low accel/ highish speed it's possible to have both, but medium and high accel are fux0red. and there's no in between.

Before I post my opinion, a technical remark.
To turn off mouse acceleration in Windows XP, do the following
1) Open the registry editor (Run => regedit)
2) Select the key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse"
3) Change the entries "MouseThreshold1" and "MouseThreshold2" to 0.
4) Restart Windows

Ok, now my $0.02. In my opinion, using acceleration depends greatly on what goals you wish to achieve. BlackMaN, being a zerg player and a macro player, uses maximum acceleration because it suits his gameplay style. I don't exactly see a micro terran player using max speed and max accel, because, while your misclick might be forgiven when selecting the attack point for 6 groups of hydras, miscliking while microing marines vs a lurker can have dire consequences. I believe that you can move your hand fast enough to avoid using acceleration at all, while the exponential factor with acceleration that impedes precision is unavoidable - even if you play a lot with it, you still won't be as precise as someone who doesn't use it :/

There should be backslashes after HKEY_CURRENT_USER and Control Panel. Please fix excessive stripslashes() in forum code :\

i think i have acceleration on. I never thought about it but when i slowly move my mouse i need like half of my fUnc (doh) and going fast i only need like 1/5 of it.

Is there anyway to make the fastest mouse setting faster without acceleration? I think that I would probably be more accurate without acceleration but I am used to playing with the fastest speed + high acceleration and with no acceleration the mouse is so slow.
