there's a option in SC2 that says enable mouse sensitivity that overrides your current windows settings. Though you still want your windows settings at 6/11. If I remember with higher dpi mice you want to set the in game sensitivity lower giving you precision. With the mouse i have now the sensitivity is set to 80% in game with windows speed 6/11 it a slow mouse so i'm buying a better one soon.


ohhh no wonder i see all these pros putting their sensitivity at like 22% xD

But if you do that, then that means your windows speed will have to be at like 11/11 to make up for the 22% right? Or is that not how it works.


No like the post below you says the windows mouse settings do not effect Starcraft 2 if you have the mouse sensitivity option enables though i still suggest having 6/11 for windows. The way the settings work on windows 11/11 would skip pixels making it inaccurate. For example (i'm not sure on exact numbers) at 11/11 you move your mouse 1 pixel the mouse pointer on screen would move 5 pixels making it fast but inaccurate. They have there speed at 22% because of high dpi (dots per inch). Which iirc means that a mouse with 1600 dpi will move 1600 pixels per inch of mouse movement. So if your sensitivity in Starcraft is low 1600 dpi wont move as fast but be more accurate. So having low sensitivity and a high dpi leaves you with fast and precise mouse movement, where as high sensitivity low dpi skips pixels and leaves you with a fast but in accurate mouse.

This might help some, found it on google:

If I use a really low sensitivity is this really a problem? I'm an old FPS player so I'm used to really low sensitivity and using my whole mouse pad to cover the whole screen. What it seams like to me is this problem only really exists for people using a sensitivity higher then 1:1 cursor:mouse moment ratio.

Low sensitivity is more accurate. Its personal preference however for what you like. personally I hate making big movement for moving my mouse so I prefer higher speeds


thakn you for the epic explanation

OPTIMAL MOUSE SETTINGS
6/11 Windows setting.
Default in drivers (if using any)
Enhanced Precision UNCHECKED in mouse properties in Control Panel.
51-54% sensitivity in SC2
Use DPI as a way to tweak your sensitivity, more DPI for faster sens and less DPI for slower sens.
