Hello, I just figured i'd throw out there what I found when trying to remove acceleration. It is fairly well known that the ingame slider causes mouse acceleration, but i've seen a lot of people suggesting it should be set to 50. Running MarkC's Mouse Movement Recorder, I found that even though I had managed to get rid of mouse acceleration in Windows, it was still present ingame. Turned out it was because I had the slider set to 50. Here is the difference between 50 and 51 ingame sens inside SC2:
50 ingame sens:

51 ingame sens:

The red and green highlights indicate acceleration being present, and the difference even with such small values is very noticable. In both cases, I had zero acceleration in Windows; it only kicks in once SC2 is launched. Some further testing showed that 51-55 all have zero acceleration while, 50 or lower and 56 and higher all cause immediately noticable acceleration.

Yah this has been discussed to death but its sad that literally one notch could possibly mess up your mouse actions lol.
|
omg this is incredible news. I KNEW IT WAS HAPPENING! ahhhhhhh this is maddening.
|
How are you tracking your mouse information? I'd like that simply because there have been instances in the past where I suspected mouse acceleration with certain random setups...
|
What exactly is mouse acceleration?
And maybe this isn't the right place to ask, but... I've often wondered about how well I use my mouse (mainly for micro) and whether I need to turn my mouse sensitivity up or down or keep it where it is, and occasionally I changed it but I never can tell whether the change improved anything. How would I figure this out?

Yep I've been using 51 since the beginning, even though I don't really understand why it is better. 50 just never felt right to me. Then again I'm one of those noobs who still has windows mouse acceleration because I can't get away from that nor my terrible decade-old mouse :/

Also that's not mouse acceleration, that's just not having a 1:1 movement ratio, which we already know SC2 will do if you raise the sensitivity since it just bumps up your windows sensitivity, and if it goes beyond 6/11 you lose 1:1 movement.
And you get it at 50 because you are likely on 5/11 sens in windows, if you raised it a notch and tried again you wont see the green bars which indicate less than 1:1 movement

Not mouse acceleration, and the aforementioned thread already has all the info anyone would need regarding this

51...

Any chance there is a way to keep no acceleration but retain a high moue speed ? I have my mouse speed maxed out on windows, but setting ingame sensitivity to 51% is far too slow for my liking.
|
you have to get a better mouse that allows you to up the DPI
|
So if i'm playing with a 400dpi mouse at 100% in game sensitivity...am i missing out on something?

Am pretty sure windows and SC2 sensitivity is different so they would have to be chosen separately unless there is a method which allows it to flow over the different applications.
I think getting a higher DPI mouse will give you the same smooth flow with a higher sensitivity (since that is how it feels with my MX518)

Any gaming mouse should have it available via software/drivers or hardware buttons. Not sure about other mice though.

Get a higher resolution mouse.

Get a higher resolution mouse. yeah i think a good rule to go by (imo anyway) is windows 6/11, sc2 51 so thats always 1:1. If you need a faster or slower spees than that should be hardware only, or changed via your mouse's driver software.

mouse speed/acceleration has been beat to death by the FPS scene. It is generally accepted that your windows bar should not be lower than 3/11 or higher than something like 8/11. When the windows setting goes outside that range you end up skipping pixels which is detrimental to your accuracy.
edit: I hate the SC2 slider. A lot.

Great Thread. I have been reading up on Mouse Precision alot recently and I had to go into SC2 and put it on 51% because of this.
It is really hard to get used to 51% when I used 31% before haha. My Micro is terrible right now.
Thanks alot OP
