It always depresses me when people post disc dash scores. I wonder if their machine is slowing the game down or something. Because after playing a million times, I once got 40k and I felt like my wrist was going to break and my head was going to explode. 100k as normal? 200k? wtf, seriously.

First time playing this game and playing it halfassed. (edit: btw using an i7 2600k ... so no: my system is not slowing it down the slightest bit

I really think most people use their mouse in the wrong way. Herp derp using mouse wrong? Yes.
If you have a kinda high sense/dpi/whatever you should only hold your mouse very lightly.
If you have a slow sense you need to have a kinda hard grip on your mouse.

I can only advice anyone with bad mouse movement to just set their mouse to some standard values (said multiple times 1800 dpi, 6/11) and practice with games like Osu(be aware that there are many bad written "songs" out there, the pattern doesnt align to the beat), QuakeLive or maybe even this DiscDash.

Most of us have a lot of practice in either FPS or RTS which kinda makes it easy to split and micro in SC2.
For me i played several years competitivly as a sniper in DoD so my strafe-click is kinda good but there for I have problems with steering against recoil and stuff. But my overall mouse precision got improved by years of playing FPS.

2nd edit: this reflex.te is very badly coded, clicks arent regonized correctly and stuff.

I disagree.

Not that it's not good to play mouse speed practice games in order to improve ones mouse movement ability. But the games you mentioned are all suboptimal.
For instance this Disc Dash: it's only a good game, if you're kind of slow. Above a certain level you can play this game indefinitely and get bored to death (I stopped playing with over a million and not one escaped target).

I watched some videos of Osu and I don't get how that is supposed to help. Isn't it mainly rythm training? QuakeLive also doesn't sound like a good idea - how about SC 2 itself instead?

Good mouse speed practice games:
Reflex.TE (not the other Reflex versions) on missionred.com
Exact Aiming on aim400kg.ru/en (comes in different variations)

Not sure if this will help, but where are you watching when you click. If you are watching the mouse cursor, then it is very hard to 'draw' a straight line. You should watch where you want to mouse to go, and then move the mouse. The mouse should approximately go in a straight line to where you are watching. This should fix the curviness of your mouse movement.

I found when I lowered the sensitivity of the game to 900 dpi instead of 1800 I was actually scoring higher in the game. :D

That game is entirely dependant on your setup. Playing it on fullscreen on a huge monitor makes it much easier. Lots of local settings might also slow down the game. On some computers it's hard to break 50k, on others you get 100k+ first try.

Do these "optimal settings" apply to the Black Edition Deathadder? I know the V2 has a different sensor than the original, never looked into the BE.

Got to about 280.000, although I dunno if playing these games a lot would do too much. I mean the best training for playing Starcraft 2 would obviously still be... plain playing Starcraft 2. Although it's often times really hard to focus on one certain weakness, especially stuff like mouse accuracy.

My tip, something I did wrong for the longest time:
Try to move your mouse directly to the target with one single motion. Sounds damn obviousl, but I was (for my entire life) actually always making one rather rough estimated motion, followed by a second one that would then cross the gap between my first and the actualy target location. It's just something I did and.. well if you do it for over 10 years you won't suddenly switch for no reason^^

Slightly off topic:
Does someone know a nice 10 Finger Typing game or program? I've found some which were rather weak or for complete beginners only. I've heard of old games like Typing of the Dead but something up to date would be really nice. Though I've given up, as I just cannot find anything.

140k first try. Hardest thing is to mute this awful sound during shooting, pretty sure it's possible to get 10millions and more here

Optimal setting on BE is the same as in v2 (and v1)

Hm, wait a second, what's the game with the yellow score? The one in the OP? Or something else.

So simple, but so true

Just force yourself to click precise - starting now!
If you have room for one more change: don't spam 10 right clicks, when one would suffice. You don't shoot targets in Reflex ten times, do you?

Basically: if Disc Dash ends, because you missed too much targets, you have got quite some room for improvement.

Try changing the way you hold the mouse. That could help with your curves. Try a fingers only grip, whereyour thumb is on the left side and your ring and pinky are on the right (assuming your right handed), a knuckle grip, which is the same as the finger grip, but your knuckles (palm side) are on the back of the mouse, then a palm grip, where the palm of your hand is touching the mouse.
