The best result I got with windows sens dropped down to 2! O.o Literally 1-1 pixel drawing with ease. The mouse driver has its own sens options, but adjusting them just screws up everything... Now I have a noticabely better precision at a pretty low ingame and windows sens setting. So maybe a better sensor in a mouse is the best solution. | ||

My mouse: Diamondback 3G, 1800 dpi Optimal windows performance: 6/11 Windows, set Razer software to whatever (I have mine at 5.0 in Windows) SC2: Reduce sensitivity to 50%, use Razer driver to increase sensitivity (I set mine at 7.5 or so for SC2). If you increase sens. in SC2, you will start to skip pixels. The diamondback 3G has on-the-fly sens. adjustment, which works for me in SC2, although I can't see the onscreen indicator. An easy way to test if you're skipping is to place your cursor near the edge of a letter or something with a defined edge. If you are skipping, miniscule mouse movements will fail to read momentarily, and will then cause your cursor to jump several pixels, meaning there are some pixels you can't hit! If you aren't skipping, you will be able to see that small mouse movements move your cursor one pixel at a time. This is pretty easy to notice, and you don't need to alt-tab into paint. So to recap I've got my mouse at: Microsoft 6/11 Razer 7.5 SC2 50% and I'm not skipping. Razer sensitivity adjustment won't cause skipping even at max (10.0) so it's safe to use! | ||

Edit: Wow, I just read the post above me. Probably should have done that before posting. Thanks. Can anybody confirm this? | ||

The problem I have is that I'd like to play with the maximum supported DPI of my mouse (which is like 3000), but the sensitivity at that DPI with windows settings @ 6/10 is way too high. Since the SC2 sensitivity option is strangely just a mirror of the Windows sensitivity settings, I don't see any way of reducing the sensitivity WITHOUT reducing the DPI and without messing with the 1:1 ratio unless the sensitivity option from within the Razer software somehow circumvents this issue. It's technically and physically impossible to have a higher sensitivity than the cpi your mouse is set to without losing precision, as raising sensitivity that way is done via software in the form of pixel skipping. Lowering your sensitivity using software (i.e. SC2 or Windows sensitivity) does not cause pixel skipping, as it just ignores some input. So, if one of the intermediate DPI/CPI settings is too slow, use the maximum and lower your sensitivity in game or in Windows. Some argue that this has downsides too but realistically it's not bad, and it's no where near the same effect as RAISING sensitivity via software. edit: I don't know how Razer sensitivity works, but it's possible that it modifies cpi/dpi or that 10.0 (max) is 1:1 which would mean lower values don't cause pixel skipping. | ||

Deathadder 1800 dpi, I tried checking the drivers but I didn't see anywhere to change it X_x edit: just googled and apparently you can't with the stock drivers, is there another way? | ||

Still, it's good to take advantage of any little thing you can. Why is that at all surprising? | ||

Why do you want to change your dpi? Instead of adjusting dpi you could adjust sensitivity using Razer drivers, which I think your mose has on-the-fly adjustment for. If you're like me 1800 is probably the sweet spot. Lower and you'll have to pixel skip to get the sensitivity you need, and higher is only necessary if you're already at 50% SC, 6/11 Windows, and 100% sensitivity on Razer drivers. | ||

I also have the Deathadder with Razer drivers ( downloaded at www.razersupport.com ), and as you can see with the screenshot I provided, you can very easily switch dpi. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/5829/deathadder.jpg) | ||

It's a bit surprising to me personally, because of how big the average difference in knowledge is, how serious the competition is in SC, and how long these things have had to develop. If you care enough to buy a gaming mouse, then I would assume it's a short step to adjusting some basic settings. | ||
