I figured with Deathadder 900 DPI is a bit too low for me, but 1800 is too high, so I just changed the sensitivity with the drivers. It looks just as smooth when I tested it in Paint, but I want to hear with some of the more savvy people here before I do something stupid.

[image loading]

Notice there's one sensitivity slider for Windows, and one for Razer Deathadder. I changed the latter. I had planned to uninstall the drivers once I was satisfied with the results, but I guess that might reset the aforementioned setting.

Thoughts?

I had my in-game sensitivity set to 55% and, thankfully, my windows setting is still on 6. Good thing too, because I play with my G5 on max dpi (2000), so I'd have to just plain adjust to lower sensitivity if the windows setting was too high.

so basically you need a high dpi mouse to get good precision along with good speed?

well, why didn't you leave the windows one alone and used the deathadder DPI thing to the left?

anyhoo i play at 3200 DPI with 3 windows sens. i've not noticed any changes in accuracy, actually it has gotten better as i play awp on cs 1.6 most of the times and rely on my sensor working in a perfect ratio to my hand and not shift and stuff.

however it most likely has something to do with different sensors, some sensor may get problems with changing windows sens, i'm using mionix saiph 3200 and tried many paint tests and other things to make sure i'm not screwing myself up here but i've honestly not gotten anything else but more accuracy due to the higher DPI.

I think I found the sweet spot around 54%.

Some one should really report this problem to Blizzard. The 6/11 windows setting with the 50% in game setting makes 400dpi mice (microsoft optical, the intellimice, logitech optical mini) too slow.
This statement is false.

If you're using razor's software/drivers, what should the sensitivity be set at if you windows is set at 6 and starcraft is at 50% to achieve the 1 to 1 pixel detection?

But that shouldn't be the case. You should be able to increase your in-game speed without having to skip pixels.
This statement is false.

I had just checked mine on the the Control Panel and apparently the Vista Default is 6 because I've never changed it.

Ty for the info though.
I play games for fun!

Starcraft 2 doesn't require 1:1 pixel precision like in FPS games, you won't missclick a hatcherie or a drone because you have 1:1.5, I use 7/11 knowing this because it's easier to play with the most comfortable sensitivity rather than having pixel precision but missing clicks because you either have too much or little sensitivity.

What correlation does that have to SC2 at all? The units are not 1 pixel wide, or even 4 pixels wide.

Obviously pixel accuracy is important for FPS since sometimes your target IS a few pixels wide, but when is such precision ever absolutely required for optimal play in SC2?
