@ Daewon: StarCraft 2 sets sensitivity back to whatever you had it on when you alt-tab, I just happened to have something weird happen to my computer to realise what was going on (I think I ctrl-alt-del or some background thing popped me out of SC2 so it didn't reset the sensitivity). If you doubt how it works, go into SC2 and put the sensitivity to 100%, and try to move 1 pixel on the screen. It will skip, just as it does in Windows and how it is visible in pbrush.

Nice catch! Changed mine from 7/11 to 6/11 now and I feel a slight difference in precision. Have no idea why its even that high when i have a 5600 dpi mouse =/
really?

Alright stafu, so basically what you're saying is that the windows slider and the SC2 slider is in fact one and the same. However when you quit SC2 or alt-tab from SC2 the windows slider is put back to whatever value you have it on, independent of the current SC2 ingame value, is that correct?

BTW I did a little test with markc windows 7 acceleration fix and found that SC2 doesn't force acceleration on (which some games do, even if you have it turned off), so that's a good thing I guess.

Nice catch, its about time I get use to a nice static setting instead of moving everything around. I keep my DPI around 1600, but I have a really retarded mouse. Time to get meh a new onez.

Hm. I remember a day or two after I got the game, I increased the mouse sensitivity to 60-something%, and then I was comfortable with it. Never had any problems. I just checked my windows mouse settings, and it's still on the 6th fret. However, I'm playing on a laptop with a logitech mouse and logitech software (SetPoint), which probably explains it

I think this is only a problem for the people who didn't use markc's fix. For example i use 100% on SC2 but it does not alter my windows setting because my registery is set for 11/11 with a forced 2.25 pixel skip which I set because i simply don't have enough DPI (800). Planning on picking up a 3.5G Deathadder this week.

Just did a few tests, you're correct, this does happen.
But with "Enhance Pointer precision" option on like the above poster said, the problem is non-existent.

Yay for me, I keep both sensitivities on max :-D

Btw: if your mouse drivers have "enhance pointer precision" it's is probably just an alternate place for teh windows setting, atleast its like that with steelseries.

and this is what the 'Enhance pointer precision' option does: If you move the mouse slowly, the pointer moves even slower to allow you fine control over objects selected

I thought 'enhance pointer precision' was just another term for 'mouse acceleration' which is highly looked down upon in gaming

I have a regular boring IBM mouse, and 6/11 with no enhanced pointer precision is way too slow.

Do you really need a fancy razor mouse just to play sc2, I just leave it on 8/11 with enhanced precision, "bad" or not I would kill myself if I had to play with the super slow mouse.

At least 50 pct. of the people in this thread are giving completely wrong advice, "enhanced pointer precision on is great!", "... slider at less than 6/11 is fine", etc. Wrong!

Read these two posts:

http://www.esreality.com/?a=post&id=1846538

The first one is a long read, but very informative.
The second is how to get rid of that last bit of mouse acceleration that sometimes gets forced on by games, even when turned off in windows (acceleration = enhanced pointer precision).

As for OP, I tried turning my ingame sensitivity way up like 100%, tabbed out to find my windows sensitivity on the usual 6/11?!?! Am I doing something wrong here? do I need to reboot first or what? As far as I can see the two sliders don't have anything in common.


Jesus Christ, thanks. I was about to pop a blood vessel in my forehead before I saw your post.

Why are people even opening their mouths if they know nothing about the subject?

I'm pretty new with SC2 and I can already see the difference this has made for me. You wouldn't think that slight precision would help all too much but play a few games and you'll really notice how much this helped.

Much appreciated to the OP, thanks.

new non-gaming mice have higher dpi than older mice, so really you can just do that... or you can get some tried and true mice, such as mx518 instead of brand new gaming mice (which imo are overpriced, although i do admit to owning some :O)

mx518 at 1800dpi (or whatever you prefer, i still use 400dpi from my fps background, but i dont think you would like that) 6/11, disable enhanced precision and youve got an accurate mouse that isn't slow~

these are words to live by in the first person shooter world.

never change from 6/11 because 6/11 1:1. if you lower it, windows will cut some of the information being sent to it. if you raise it, windows will sort of stretch it out so it skips a lot of pixels but moves faster.

SC2's ingame mouse sensitivity works the same way. if it's above or below default, it will mess with the information it is getting because starcraft just tracks where the mouse is on the desktop.

the trick to having a perfectly configured mouse is making sure all of the input is unchanged. 6/11 in windows, maximum in mouse drivers, and, in the case of a game like starcraft, at default setting.

you can put it on max speed, and enable mouse precision, which [may] lag the game. but obviously it doesnt o.o

Ok I have a question which I don't THINK was answered in this thread... (I checked briefly).

1) What is the default SC2 ingame sensitivity?
2) What % should I set it to, to get the same 1:1 ratio? I mean, from what I remember when you just install the game its set to 20%, which seems really low...?

EDIT:

There is this post:
On August 07 2010 14:56 damiah wrote:
you should never change your windows sensitivity from default - this is pretty well known

50% is matching windows sens but in the end you either want Blizzard to do it the right way or get a mouse with changeable DPI


But it just seems odd since IIRC the starting sensitivity is 20% (or is that only for the keyboard scroll?), and 50% feels different from 6/11...
