When I use a sens of around 40cm/360, that's up to 5% error. I would start around 240 and not find my mouse sens has changed at all, then 200 and it still isn't accurately decreasing in a linear fashion, until I hit threshhold 180 and the sens dropped in a sizable quantity. If you used 1530, it might change your sensitivity just enough to feel too different as it might jump in sensitivity compared to 1500, but it will be a truer accuracy at least. | ||

Edit : oh and if the ingame mouse setting is of any use for your question it's at 62% | ||

1) DPI 2) Windows Mouse Speed Settings 3) Starcraft 2 settings Without all 3 of these, there is no basis of comparison. wow | ||

This is wrong. It does not make it more accurate. Infact I've done my own personal tests and found a couple of my mice have increased negative accelerations and a non linear sensitivity increase with the higher ends of DPI. The fact is, it really is a sensitivity modifier and you should leave it alone with the value that is most sensible. Maxing it to 5k and reducing mouse sensitivity with other means is a recipe for inefficient aiming. edit. I should say that some mouse have different native DPI and ways they calculate DPI. f.e. The Xai, is natively at 1620 dpi I believe (just google it to confirm), and it calculates DPI in increments of 90. If you chose an awkward number like 1234, it would use an additional layer of software to calculate sensitivity. With every calculation, you get rounding errors, thus less accuracy. Also, I found it flat out ignored alot of the values i pumped in until I hit some value thresholds, so best to stick to a number divisible by 90. So I personally use it at around 540dpi (6/11 windows, 51% sc2). Yes, might be the slowest aim in SC2 forums it appears, but it's really freaking fast to me (compared with the 180 dpi I used to use) Sorry for double post but I just saw what pksens wrote  It actually took me like one hour to find a nice sensitivity for my Xai and 720DPI felt better than 730 or 710. Now I see why, thanks for this post :D | ||

I think dpi doesn't really matter, you just want to use whatever you are comfortable with. There IS a mouse guide on these forums somewhere, just search around. | ||

i have a QCK+ and it takes me about 3 full swipes to cover the mouse mat it feels really slow but there is a lot more control | ||

Thats quite wrong actually. Higher dpi mice do not tend to be more accurate at all. DPI is how many bits of positional information the mouse gathers if you travel 1 inch. This translates exactly into how many pixels the cursor moves if you travel 1 inch, unless you apply some software sensitivity settings. if you lower your sensitivity you throw away information, and play at less effective dpi. if you raise your sensitivity you have to skip pixels to get the desired cursor speed, making the mouse more inaccurate. If your mouse has enough dpi to give your cursor the desired speed without having to go higher than 6/11, more dpi is just a waste. Trying to find a sensor with actual good accuracy requires measurements and testing. A lot of so called gaming mice produce positive and negative acceleration, so if you go really low sense and check for these things you can actually get an idea how accurate your mouse is. | ||
