I'm not sure why you're arguing, because it's basicly the only thing mouse accelerations does. Increases your cursor speed depending certain tresholds of movement. This is why it's always recommended to be off for every gamer, because you can't muscle memory something that's not constant, atleast not to the same extent. | ||

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 errh.... lower the sensitivity % ingame or the DPI? | ||

I would encourage you to stick with it, just go to your desktop and practice boxing icons and moving from corner to corner for half an hour for a couple days and you should adapt pretty quickly. | ||

Nearly every top professional Quake player plays with some amount of mouse acceleration, some even massive amounts. I don't know whether the windows implementation of acceleration is any good, but acceleration is not an inherently terrible thing that can not be worked around. It's just a bit harder as you have to get used to not only the distance to move the mouse, but the speed to move it at as well. | ||

That's all there is to it really. If you want to be accurate, you can play the multitude games that's been pointed out on teamliquid.net such a ozu, missionred or minesweeper (lol ? Didn't think that would help you but meh :p) the EPP, accelration and everything is just a matter of preference. some argue that sometimes they're not accurate, but you could've get used to it aswell so whatever.

Playing mouse precision flash games won't make you better. There are a few pros that still use the microsoft optical intellimouse which probably has a default dpi of 450. Do you actually think most really good players obsess over mouse settings? Just play with what you're comfortable with and focus on improving your gameplay  . | ||

I'm surprised that you're having problems with it being overly sensitive since turning off acceleration, since the opposite should be the case. | ||

I recommend if you turn off acceleration that you increase DPI/sensitivity more to compensate. Acceleration is a pretty good way of increasing sensitivity of a mouse when your DPI is already caped and are already running (or don't want to run lower) at low resolution. | ||

I have been trying to lower my dpi over time, mostly playing fps, to increase my accuracy. Right now I feel that I am in a good spot for accuracy. In sc2 I run with the sensitivity slider as low as it goes at 800 dpi with my Roccat Kone+ on a Steelseries QcK Heavy mouse pad. | ||

There's a reason people don't use mouse accel, anyone who has played a fps competitively knows the reasoning and have tested it, why not take a few days to get used to something that in general will make you better? Also micro is precision, so it very much so does matter in sc2 as much as it does in cs:s. | ||

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. Can someone elaborate why you don't want the in game sensitivity divisble by 5? Mine is at 75% right now... | ||
