Ohhh, I just realized that the option "Enhance pointer precision" is actually the option for enabling/disabling acceleration. I just turned it off and suddenly moving the mouse back and forth between two points is a LOT easier, because I only need to keep the distance that my mouse moves on the mousepad constant, whereas previously I also had to move my hand at the same speed. It's amazing how much more accurately I can move my cursor now O_O.

I think that disabling this option will be more useful for SC, but I prefer acceleration for some situations in windows where I need to move the cursor by exactly 1 pixel, and this is a lot easier with acceleration turned on rather than off. However, the only time I ever need to move my cursor by exactly one pixel in SC is to ovie-spin, so this should not be a (significant) drawback for me.

I turned mouse acceleration off a few months ago. I had alot Problems with this new settings when playing UT, but i don't remember any problems with BW.

On playing style: Afair DIDI had a very low corsour-speed. I never saw him playing, but if thats right he might be one of the good gamers that move their arm at playing BW.

P.S: if someone is intereste in shooters. Shuuk'gitzz, the german guy that won WCG-UT 2001+2002 has a UT Mouse sensitivity of 1.3 that means he has to move his mouse twice over his full mousepad to make a full tournaround in the Game.

so 99% of pro-sc players... REFUSE to use acceleration... there must be a good reason for it.. I am wondering WHAT IT IS?? they say it's more accurate.. but one has exponentially more control for twitch movements.. and exponentially more speed for when they need to be fast... why don't pro's use Acceleration??
