Well, since my post has popped back and has gained some popularity. I’ll give everyone an update, but first let me thank everyone for their advice. Everyone had (especially day9) good things to say. Even more so in some of the recent posts. IPS.blue – You could be right about the acceleration.
**Update**
As I said, I initially started out with a 450CPI, 6/11, in-game mouse sense off, 1920x1080 and I was trying to use a FPS setup with an RTS (does not work, I promise). The thing that I loved about this was the precision I gained in unit control, but what I hated and lacked was screen control. I would try to kite and in the middle of kiting if I got to the edge of my monitor I would literally have to do a huge jerking motion to get the screen to move so I could continue to kite. Sometimes it would work and sometimes I wouldn’t jerk enough. Or… I had to become double jointed on the spot just to click the minimap…
After reading everyone’s post, I felt like 600CPI was a good middle ground. I could still maintain precision, but at the same time I could easily move around the screen. So I when up 1 click to 540CPI, because 630CPI felt like too much of a jump at the time. Used that for about a week and then moved up to 630.
I think at this point I’m pretty comfortable with it and I safely tell you that it is a huge improvement! I can still micro, but at the same time I can easily control the screen and click the mini-map without popping my arm out of the joint (kidding of course). My game pace has doubled, because I don’t have any physical limitations. It feels much more natural without any of those little hiccups in my game.
Thanks again everyone…

what mouse sensitivity does everyone use? In game sens. is at 67% for me.

I would say don't use the in-game sensitivity at all if you can avoid it.
Setting your mouse speed outside of the game to what you want it to be inside the game is definitely ideal. It's much better to have the same mouse speed inside and outside the game, there's no adjustment time and you're always working on your accuracy

I think that your sensitivity is too low for RTS games. Its great for FPS, but I think in RTS you need to go a little higher. I also have a sensei and I have 6/11, 1300 CPI, and 55% ingame sens. It is a nice middle ground between speed and accuracy, and is imo the best for rts, because it allows to to micro very well, while still having enough speed to move around.

idk any cpi rating stuff but i use a wireless microsoft 4000.

There are pros who have fairly low sensitivity and move their whole arm around actively (not just wrists and fingers!). Others, including myself, use very high sensitivity with great accuracy. (I recently dropped my sensitivity ab it due to an injury  .) Make sure that whatever you do feels comfortable for you! If you find yourself having a very difficult time scrolling to the edges of the screen, try to adjust the sensitivity to something that feels good for that task. Then, relearn other control problems (such as having trouble right clicking on small units accurately). You'll be surprised to find your brain becomes comfortable w/ new sensitivities very quickly .
Pretty much what I wanted to say. But I have a feeling people trust Day9 more than myself 
So in expected forum fashion..........

I bought a deathadder and have been using 450dpi (6/11, 51%) in sc2 at 1920x1080, i think it is still very playable if you are used to lower sens, at anything less than like 1k DPI though you should probably get used to the option to hold down middle mouse button to move camera (which should be set to 100% speed in options, inverted or not based on preferences)

i have a xai with no acceleration and windows at 6 (middle). i switch between 2400 and 4200. idk which i like better but i like these two settings for sensitivity.
|
Ive been playing for the last year or so on Maximum Sensitivity both in Game and Through the normal mouse setting on teh computer. I have the Razer Spectre but i havnt messed with the DPI mainly out of fear because i really dont know much about it.
It took a few games to get used to. but it also increased the number of hotkeys i was using so it was win/win id say just get comfortable and play to your style

I would be very interested in the movement speeds you achieve in-game.

I feel like 630 CPI is the speed I would end up, if I had a Sensei ;P
