Do not use 3500 DPI and lower SC2 ingame sens to accomodate for it, use 51-54% in game SC2, 6/11 in Windows or lower (higher is less accurate), and set your DPI to whatever you feel comfortable with. And for goodness sake, don't even think about accceleration. Most pro players would use a rather fast speed, but some don't. If you feel that you have to use the max DPI of your mouse, AND increase your windows cursor speed above 6/11, chances are you are way too fast imo and on the extreme ends of effective control. For example, I can comfortably use 6/11 and a DPI of 500-600. Yes, that low, and I can use it pretty fast too given I'm a fps whore..  This guy knows what is what. DPI has nothing to do with how accurate your mouse is, use it as a sensitivity tool. Personally, I'm at 1800 DPI on my Abyssus (6/11, 52%) @ 1920*1080. This is probably a bit slow for most, but I'm an old CS 1.6 player. I'm used to using at least some of my gigantic mouse pad. Remember that the speed of your cursor on a specific DPI is relative to your resolution, so higher DPI is for use with higher resolutions, in general. | ||

Sensitivity wise, it me takes just under 3cm of mouse movement to move cursor from left to right of screen. * I turned starcraft sensitivity settings off so that my settings are the same, desktop or game. | ||

Your mouse should move as quickly, and as little, as your hand/eye can be accurate with. If you can handle a crazy high sensitivity with perfect accuracy, great, technically your movements will be faster as there's less travel distance. But if you're purposely slowing your hand, or missing clicks/correcting clicks constantly then that's hardly efficient and you should move down to a sensitivity where you are accurate. For me personally, on my naga, this is 5600 DPI, and a couple ticks down in mouse settings, with SC2 sensitivity turned off completely. In my mind, using SC2 sensitivity adjustment on top of the other ones just makes you learn a new sensitivity to play. | ||

I play with 2200 dpi, but about 33% ingame sensitivity. No accelaretion from any software obviously. I prefer a bit of speed for RTS games in general, and I'm used to that amount of dpi for just my general browsing etc. anyways. For different genres I change it up a lot. | ||

Most of the professional SC2 players have their DPI set between 800-1600. I just set my steelseries sensei to 5600, and it's impossible that you use that unless you really lower the sensitivity in the windows settings, which is hurting you. | ||

DPI/sensitivity depends EXTREMELY on your screen resolution and personal preference. The guy saying it shouldn't be above 1000 is a complete ignoramus. On June 28 2012 02:19 grapesludge wrote: 1. That's you that can't handle 5600 DPI, not him — not that I believe 5600 is effective for anyone at average resolutions, but I can't say that for fact.I'm sorry. But you don't use 5600 DPI.

He said he was running lower than 5600 DPI from what I understood 3. If you have a large enough screen resolution, it is most certainly not a problem to have such high DPI, but such high resolution setups are not common or at least not used much in SC2 (multi-monitor) 4. Lowering windows mouse sensitivity is not necessarily detrimental at all, but it is effectively lowering the DPI so a reduced DPI wouldn't still count as a high DPI. (raising windows sensitivity is the problem that doesn't really help anything) | ||

Mouse: Razer DeathAdder Windows Speed: 6/11 SC2 Speed: 51% Monitor Size: 1920x1080 DPI: 3500 I can understand using a lower DPI for a FPS, but for an RTS? That seems too slow. Would love to have some pros chime in and see what they use. | ||
