I found a program called "Mouse Acceleration" that seems to take off mouse accel, but the mouse still seems very laggy in game. Also, the lift-off distance seems to be increased on Macs (that is - when I pick up my mouse, it still tracks the movement, where lifting the same height on my PC wouldn't). I use USB overdrive. It's free for the trial (only difference is a 10 second countdown on boot-up) and it works perfectly. The only catch is that when you turn acceleration all the way down, it also turns sensitivity all the way down. When you crank the speed up to an acceptable level for your everyday computer use, it somehow compounds with the sensitivity in SC2, making it insanely high. To fix it, I just had to put my SC2 in-game sensitivity to 0%. The result turns out to be a perfect, accelerationless sensitivity for me, but you might be kinda screwed if you prefer something less sensitive. | ||

The only solution i can think of is mouse acceleration - at low movement speed you get true 1:1 and at faster speeds you skip pixels. But you will not be able to go faster then 1000dpi on true 1:1 edit: and the OP is talking about going around windows settings by directinput | ||

so just to clarify, (I apologize for being redundant) according to the OP and the links in the thread, it's better to to have low dpi (<800 because 800 is too sensitive) with the windows slider at 6/11, than it is to drop down the windows slider and use the full 2000dpi or w/e of your mouse? if that's the case, then what the hell is the point of all these mice with the crazy 3000, 4000, 5000 dpi?? | ||

This is a bit sad as I've always used 400 DPI Microsoft mice for their lack of mouse correction/angle-snapping and perfect sensors, but unless I want to play SC2 at 640x480, or 800x600, it's not really feasible. By the way, this is the reason progamers can get away with using a mini optical with 400 dpi — BW is limited to 640x480, so moving from one side of the screen to the other takes just over an inch. That said, the mini optical sensor is still absolute trash (I have two of them and they don't come anywhere near as good as 1.1/3.0). Currently using my G1 which has pretty bad correction. Razer Abyssus looks like quite a good option as it's small, no tacky thumb buttons, has more than enough DPI (actually a bit of a fault), and no mouse correction. edit: P.S. You can still get pixel-skipping in FPS, just to avoid any confusion, but it tends to be at much higher sensitivities even on 400 DPI mice that people don't generally use in my short tests. | ||

i got mouse on max at windows and 100% in sc2, but it still feels a bit tooslow.. it was fast enough in bw without going to max speedsettings in windows -_-; got no problem with skipping too many pixels or anything though | ||

5600 dots of pure unad- OH SHIT WHERES MY CURSOR!!!! I keep it at 1200-2000 Dpi @1400 right now | ||

I play fine with it but was wondering if there might be any negative effects from using such a high sensitivity. | ||

In contrast to Quake and other FPS of course where you're actually turning about an axis (and generally use lower resolutions anyway). Sorry for the misunderstanding in the OP papaz.

If you have 100% in SC2, when you load SC2 it will set your Windows sens to 11/11. Best is to leave Windows at 6/11, SC2 at 50%, and use mouse DPI to higher your sensitivity (it's the only true way without losing 1:1 pixel precision). This is why 400 DPI mice will not cut it for SC2, but 800 should be enough. | ||
