Does anyone know if progamer's have mouse acceleration on/off? I would like to say that they mostly have it on, but that might just be me because I always play with it on. Also if someone DOES know if progamer's have mouse acceleration on/off, which ones use it and which ones don't?

thks in advance

What makes you think most have it off? I'm starting to think that too, but without mouse acceleration on big resolution's like when I go on my desktop, it makes it a pain in the ass to do stuff

mouse acceleration is a horrible thing that will do nothing but make you imprecise

i know everyone good in CS has it turned off, i dont see why it'd be different for SC progamers

Two or three of those have to do with progamers. You should have searched before you made the post. Even if they're a few years old, they would still have valid information.

Also, I think it's funny how you would flame him to death RIGHT NOW.

That's what high quallity mouses are for. Higher dpi, more accuracy without the need for acceleration.

btw sorry that I wasn't making myself accurate, but I am talking about "pointer precision". I don't know why I was calling it mouse acceleration lol. Do progamers use the pointer precision enabled or not? I am pretty sure Tropics was talking about pointer precision too but just to confirm it....

I'd bet almost anything that every single one plays with it off.

The "enhanced pointer precision" in the windows IS the mouse acceleration toggle.

No, he was talking directly about mouse acceleration. It is common knowledge in the counter-strike community that everyone has it off. I'm pretty sure most people in the starcraft community have it off aswell.

Uh, I agree with EsX here. This has been posted so many frigging times, I am surprised somebody with a corsair icon would ask this question. I don't know why you would flame him to death anyway, it's not like he did anything wrong (not to mention I have no clue what you would actually even say to flame about this topic).

Answering your question, let's just say I have never read up on or heard of any progamer who actually had acceleration on. The pointer is much more precise with the acceleration off. I turned it off about 2 months ago. Takes a while to get used to though but is much nicer in the long-run.

But I can't stand playing without it, its just sooo uncomfortable! O_O

to sum it up: try a damn search first before asking a question the 7394832th time.

and it's ALMOST common sense, at least for me, that mouse precision is shit.

You get a higher precision with accel off, though the difference is not as big as you would think.

edit: btw, I have it on, always have, I've never fucked with my mouse.

Wow, instead of just closing threads(which doesn't happen often enough either), people should be getting temp bans for making new threads when there are already that many results from a simple search. I believe in one of the guideline threads somewhere it says you are supposed to do a quick search before making a thread such as this that isn't an individualized thread, but rather a "hey did you know..." thread.

EDIT: This thread should have been close earlier IMHO, because it was not worth a thread of its own. If anything post in the recent blog thread regarding mouse precision. This did not require a topic of its own. If you were to flame Raptor to death Rac, I would instantly side with him, and I'm sure other people would too, so don't even go there.

was just pissed at how he said "I don't give a shit if it's valid or not". That sort of ticked me off. I was just wondering if, with new mouse's coming out and stuff whether or not progamer's might have switched to precision or not? I still find it strange because I always had the feeling that precision HELPED mouse precision and not the other way around, but I'm beginning to find that out now thks for being patient with a noob

Mouse acceleration is always bad, inconsistent movements.
