I know of course it is partially preference, but also im sure there are certain reasons for certain settings! So my question is, what DPI do you guys recommend? And what speeds in starcraft and control panel settings, also mouse acceleration setting (yes or no?) Thanks for everyone who helps! :D Knighter | ||

Deathadder: 3500 DPI (Sensivity about 8/10) and NO mouse acceleration .. only that word lets me cringe up my chair. In game I just turned the custom mouse settings off, so my desktop and ingame settings are the same. I think the most important thing is, how comfortable it is TO YOU, and that you are used to it. So it's actually not a good idea to change the configuration too often, because you have to get used to it, to become good with it. | ||

Your mouse will accelerate (or increase in velocity) the longer and faster you move it.. which is pretty bad for being precise.. because it's random as to how fast you move and how far etc As far as DPI/Speed.. most people I've talked to recommend Speed 6 and then changing DPI settings to work on your sensitivity. (As well as in game in StarCraft) | ||

DPI is just a sensitivity tool, not an accuracy tool. 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..  | ||

The short answer is, acceleration off (no "enhanced pointer precision"), speed setting in Windows at exactly the middle (slider on 6/11), SC2 at 51%. Set the DPI of your mouse to whatever you like most. | ||

I think the biggest thing you can do to improve accuracy is turn off ALL mouse acceleration, but that requires some registry editing. Also there is a thread on TL on how to edit out the mouse acceleration. EDIT: When you adjust SC2 sensitivity you are OVERRIDING windows sensitivity, so its best to just leave it off. | ||

I tried without acceleration, but not being able to adjust DPI made me feel slower, so I just use 6/11 and acceleration . | ||

Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure you'd rarely be able to accurately click on a worker/zergling/marine without having to slow down your entire gameplay trying to steer your cursor onto the target. FYI I've spoken to alot of people who think because they are using the Razer DA 3500DPI edition that their DPI is 3500 when it's actually on 800-1200. If you're going to post your mouse settings please makes sure you actually know them guys! | ||

But it has been said and will be said again, what is most important is what is comfortable. You can reliably get effective with any combination of settings, really mouse | ||

After you got those settings locked down, play around with your DPI * DriverSensitivity in order to determine how fast you want your cursor to move. It's almost completely personal preference. Low DPI * DriverSensitivty produces high accuracy, but slow speed, and causes more fatigue. High DPI * DriverSensitivity produces low accuracy, but fast speed, and causes less fatigue. It all depends upon how you play your SC2. Do you play short, intense game sessions? Then probably low DPI * DriverSensitivity is good for you. Do you play long, grueling game sessions? Then probably high DPI * DriverSensitivity is good for you. It also depends upon the size of your monitor and its resolution. If you're a QXC or Axslav who play on a low resolution 4:3 monitor, then you need less DPI than people who use high resolution 16 : 9 monitors. These are my personal settings: Razer Deathadder 3.5G Monitor: 16 : 9 1920x1080p Windows Sensitivity: 6/11 SC2 ingame Sensitivity: 51% DPI * DriverSensitivity: 3500 base DPI * 55% Driver Sensitivity = 1950 effective DPI | ||

Don't listen to the people saying higher dpi or lowering windows/in-game/driver settings. | ||

If your mouse is for example 1000dpi and you change the windows sensitivity from 6/11 in windows down to a lower setting then the mouse is running at less than 1000dpi | ||

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. | ||

52 or 53% in SC2 (Can't remember which, it's inside the 1:1 movement ratio which is the main point.) Maximum (5600 dpi) on my Razer Naga. And I personally feel that I could use an even faster one... Using 1920x1080 resolution w/ a 24" screen. But as several players have said, you should use no acceleration and get the no pixel skipping ratio, after that it's just up to you to use a speed you are comfortable, but accurate enough with. | ||
