I've recently adjusted my mouse setting
per Cecil Shunkure's thread regarding
mouse acceleration.
I've turned it off in the Win7 registry, and
have disabled the 'enhance pointer
precision' setting as well. These changes
have been brutal on my gameplay... I'm
currently playing at 1600 DPI on my razer
imperator, with 51 % in game sensitivity.
It's been three days since I've changed but
I can't seem to get it down yet. T_T.
My mouse has been flying all over the
place, and its been extremely frustrating.
I'm a 3350 masters player from last
season, but now I'm regularly losing to
lower level players due to abysmal
control...
My forcefields miss regularly, I mismicro
my units, and every once in a while ill end up looking at a totally insignificant part of the map because of a sudden movement. I frequently
box too large or too small, and I mis-hotkey because I think I've selected when I
haven't. It's quite depressing and I have to
stay away from the ladder to avoid getting too frustrated.
Has anyone similar issues? If so, words of
tips/advice/encouragement would really be appreciated.
Thanks

I'm using a new steelseries kinzu, it's really lightweight, fast, accurate, the one problem is that the double clicking is super sensitive , causes me to lose games , play slower, and make alot of mistakes, i suggest just sitting down and taking as much time as it possibly takes to get the ' perfect ' setting, thats what i did, constant trial and error. gl

My only advice is not to listen to these "optimal settings" and instead use whatever feels the most natural to you.
I'm using settings that I made through trial and error, something like 800 DPI and ~60 in-game sensitivity. Its probably not optimal and "1:1" or whatever the hell that means, but who cares? I'm high masters and I don't feel my problems stem from my mouse being too inaccurate. Starcraft doesn't make you click on individual pixels, the more important part is for your mousehand to feel natural, so you can focus on the actual gameplay.

I'd say go back to the settings that were working for you. I recently made the switch to the same settings you did and it actually improved my accuracy, but if that is not the case for you, then go back to what worked.
|
sounds like your mouse is just too sensitive for you, try turning the DPI down?
|
I made the switch a few months back, and I played tons of minesweeper to adapt. It worked pretty well, so i would suggest that.

Off-topic, but you are aware that the Kinzu is the only gaming mouse with acceleration built in and you cant turn it off? It has an advantage over software mouse acceleration but you should be aware - I use one myself.
On-topic, you say it has been 3 days, but how many hours have you put in? It should only take 8 hours or so of SC2 to be accustomed to new mouse settings (unlike acceleration, which you can never be 'accustomed' to). If you are worried about your ladder rank, play customs or mouse training UMS maps.
Edit: you can play mouse trainers like OSU, minesweeper, or missionred outside of SC2 but the settings may not be the same.

original thread?

What is your resolution? 1600 dpi is a lot, I play on 1600x1200 with 450, so you may want to try out a lower dpi to increase accuracy.
I suggest playing "Osu!". It is a fun rhythm game that depends heavily on mouse accuracy. After being able to make it through one track on the easiest difficulty, move up. Do this again and again. If you spend a few days playing like this, your body and brain will be forced to figure out your new mouse setup.

You will adapt, quicker than you think with practice. Once you do, it will be a world of difference. It's like laddering to Masters doing only 4 gate, then trying out different builds. It takes a while, but once you figure it out it's much more rewarding.

Switch down the DPI or drop the in-game sensitivity.
|
Set ur windows sensitivity to 6/11 and in game to any setting u wish as long as it isnt divisible by 5. I use my death adder on 3500 dpi, and at 61% in game and my mouse goes and clicks where I want it. I never did any of the mouse acceleration shit buddy did because if you have a mouse with it's own drivers and firmware, your mouse's polling rate in the firmware should override it anyways.

I don't get it why do people think it is bad to use mouse acceleration. If you feel comfortable with it then use it. I doubt that if you have mouse acceleration on you get some kind of error whenever you try to reach more than 3350 points.

450? wow. 1600 is NOT alot. i would say its very normal for most fps/rts players.
nobody is saying you SHOULDN'T use acceleration. If you need it then play with it! Its all personal preference and nobody can tell you other wise. Play with what you are comfortable with.

Ok, so if someone uses enhanced pointer precision and feels comfortable with it, people think it is somewhat of a disadvantage?

Did you try something less than 1600 dpi?
|
I play without accel as well, I use g9 and I aim everything perfectly,but maybe its cause I come from a FPS background.

yes I experimented with 1200 and 1400 but then I have a lot of trouble scrolling. Like its to the point where I feel like my mouse pad needs to be twice as wide. I'm plating at 1920x1080 btw.
Thanks for all the advice guys, its really helpful.

Your enter key seems to be mallfunctioning.
