I used to play with but now without. It doesn't really make much difference imo, whatever setting you're most accustomed to and efficient with is best. Btw do you mean you play with max acceleration? I can imagine that would give most people insane accuracy problems. I used to use low acceleration, and still noticed a significant difference when I first tried playing without it, using faster general sensitivity instead.

From what I've found, the advantage of acceleration is that you can get your cursor to move a relatively large distance with one quick hand movement, but also be able to easily fine-tune your cursor position due to the lower sensitivity for small movements.
The advantage of no acceleration as I understand it comes with time. As you get properly accustomed to the mouse sensitivity setting you're at, you instinctively know just how much to rapidly move the mouse to make the cursor end up exactly where you want it over a relatively long distance (ie somewhere near the other side of the screen). This is harder to do with acceleration on as distance moved by the cursor is not linearly proportional to distance your cursor moves.

Just my thoughts.

I prefer not to use a mouse, so when I play a tournament WITH a mouse I am at a high advantage.

Sort of like those wieghts in your shoes that you use to run faster.

Depends what software does your acceleration and what mouse you have, I think. My Logitech mouse optical mouse is far superior to that of the Microsoft optical mouse. At high speeds with the Microsoft mouse, the cursor would jump all over the screen. Logitech is as smooth as butter. I play with the highest general speed and then low acceleration.

I play with highest speed, highest acceleration. MX700. Smooth non-reflective surface (black hardcover book). I don't have much in the way of accuracy problems, because I work on my accuracy constantly.

high sensitivity >>> mouse acceleration
You'll be way more accurate.
And by the way I have no option to switch mouse acceleration on because I am win98 standard driver user! *g* One reason why I play only SC on a 1400 Mhz machine.

I play without a monitor. I use hotkeys and practice playing blindly. I visualize the units in my mind so when a major tournament comes, I am at an even larger advantage than you.

mx300, currently 6/10 win2k default drivers, no accel, usb

i've used everything, all 3 accels, every speed, every connection, every revision, and 4 different o/s.

imo logitech 6-8/10 no accel+win2k/98/98se/me is best for accuracy, but it's a little unresponsive (read slow) at times.

ms default driver or intellipoint is by far the most responsive, but innaccurate depending on how far right u go. farther right=more innaccurate.
