Do you guys think this might be a problem with just my comp (lowest settings for everything)? Or perhaps because of increased graphics? I also find it very difficult to select individual units as well, even if they are isolated (in the army clump it's just ridiculous). Thoughts/opinions? Discuss edit: Title should probably be changed to Cursor speed in SC2. | ||

It really wouldn't hurt to make the slider go to the equivalent of 150% or whatever, some people want to play like that (I'd probably go to 115%), and it certainly isn't hurting anyone... | ||

Up your mouse speed to 1600 and put the slider out of game which i know you will have with your mouses software to like 10 that should make it as fast as possible, then you could also do this with in game speed but i don't think that stacks. :D | ||

Those 400 DPI mice that many people like in BW just won't work in SC2. Also, has anyone in the beta done any tests on what the slider actually does? The Windows slider just causes your mouse to skip pixels after a certain point, for example. I wonder if 100% is a 1:1 ratio (meaning it moves at actual mouse speed) or if it something like the Windows slider. | ||

(Salmosa has 1800) I turned off vsync, will try it now. | ||

If you use a low dpi mouse and just pump all the settings to max speed the mouse is going to be terribly inaccurate. If you read my comment before I mentioned that I have a Salmosa...but 1800 dpi isn't enough? Is there a real drastic improvement with let's say something with 3000 or 4000 dpi? | ||

 Options -> Gameplay -> Check the "Reduce Mouse Lag" box and voila! Works perfectly for me now  I'd also recommend dragging up the scroll sliders abit to 50% or so | ||

Hello, I made a thread in the SC2 section regarding mouse speed problems with my Salmosa for sc2 which you posted in. Just a quick question. You mentioned the resolution for the screen in BW being low, would a higher DPI mouse fix this problem? I am using a Salmosa at the moment at max dpi. I read your review on the Abyssus and it looks pretty nice (nice transition from salmosa at least). Do you think 3500 dpi would fix this issue? By the way I'm concerned about the top of the abyssus being all plastic, is the whole mouse that slippery plastic on the side of the salmosa? That plastic is a pain. I'm also not sure whether or not to wait for a new sc2 mouse that razer will come out with (i have no idea whether or not it will be good but I'd be pretty annoying if i bought an abyssus then they came out with a better mouse). Btw love your youtube vods/channel, good commentary as well. And ya I'm actually in Burnaby/Vancouver area as well (saw that you mentioned BCIT in your youtube channel). Anyway just curious to see what you would recommend considering you seem pretty knowledgeable with this type of stuff. Thanks. Alright the reason your mouse moves faster in SC2 than in SC is because in SC the resolution is 640x480 and in SC2 it is much higher than that. When you have your mouse at a certain sensitivity, it will move a certain number of pixels per millimeter. When you are running a LOWER resolution, the pixels are actually larger because there is less of them to fill up the same surface area. EG say your monitor is 21'', in SC1, the program is using 640*480 pixels to fill up that area, in SC2 the program is (forexample) 1280*960. There is literally twice the amount of pixels being displayed on the same surface in SC2 but the mouse still moves the same number of pixels per millimeter. This means the mouse will be HALF as sensitive. If you want to get your mouse to behave the same as it did in SC1, go into SC1, lay a ruler vertically beside your mouse and bring the cursor to the bottom of the screen while bringing it lined up to an easy to remember notch on the ruler(some whole number like 1,2,3,4,5) Measure how many inches(or fractions of an inch) it takes to move it all the way to the top of the screen in BW. Then just use SC2's in game sensitivity slides to match this. HOWEVER, you should be synchronizing your sensitivities between your DESKTOP and SC2. You do not want to be constantly changing how sensitive your mouse is multiple times per day. This is very detrimental to acquiring good/fast/confident mouse accuracy. As a side note, the sensitivity you've become used to in SC1 is probably way way too high. If you are just playing for fun then use whatever you feel like but if you actually want to get a good mouse you should use a fairly low mouse sensitivity. Not proofreading this post, I hope it's legible. | ||

I suspect that the Slider represents some kind of acceleration. What really annoys me, is that 100 % ingame-sensitivity is not the same as the speed in Windows (same resoultion of course). Even 50 % seems faster. I ended up with 38 % ingame-sensitivty being close to the normal Windows-sensitivity. I posted in the german Battle.net forums, but got no response from Blizzard. This kind of setting has defineatly got to be changed, its horrible. | ||
