You probably know the Logitech Mini Optical which nearly every SC:BW pro uses. ![[image loading]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31VTKV6XMDL.jpg) Does anyone know how to adjust it to SC2? For SC:BW you just plug it in and play, for it jumps over pixels if you just do that for high resolution SC2. What could I do to avoid that? I've already tried using the official driver from the Logitech page. But changing my DPI or other important options is not available there. | ||

Thankfully there are plenty of amazing and affordable high DPI mice out there. I'd suggest you consult this amazing thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=174311 Cheers. | ||

Yes that's what I'm talking about. I used it for some time but then started using my Razer Diamondback 3G instead, although the Logitech is perfect for my hand. There must be some way do improve the DPI. Maybe Koreans got some software to do that, but the official Logitech driver isn't able to for sure. | ||

Keep in mind that you will have to drag the mouse about 3 inches to cover a standard 1920x1080 desktop res. | ||

It makes no sense yes i agree, but it shows all you have do is become accustomed to it. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Gq1DK.png) I can't believe all of them are playing with pixel skipping. Gonna try it out at 1024x768, but I guess that resolution will be too high, too. | ||

Fortunately (and unfortunately) for me, at around the same time, my brother started stealing my mouse to use with his desktop (since he didnt have another one), so I bought another mouse and didnt have to deal with this problem  | ||

Same with mvp, parting, squirtle, and others. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/W86nL.jpg) | ||

I had the optical mini but I had to scrap it for another mouse. It was a sad day to part with my long time friend It's very hard to find a mouse that is similar. Is the g9x comparable in size? | ||

400dpi is plenty for sc2, as long as you dont do chobo stuff like mousing to the edge of the screen to scroll. The middle mouse button can move the camera for a reason, and minimap tapping or camera hotkeys can do everything out of reach of scroll wheel dragging at far lower DPI's than 400. | ||

Played with that mouse in the old days of SC2. No, there is no 800 dpi edition unless you have some fake mini opt. The BW Pros(and Supernova) either just play with 400 dpi the way Sase does or set their sensitivity to 70-74%, which basically emulates 800 dpi by skipping 1 pixel for every dot moved.That said, the pixel skipping is not that much of a problem because it is constant with the LMO in cotrast to the randomness of it with a lot of other shitty mice. | ||

If I do that I'd have to put my ingame sense on 100% to make my LMO fast enough (on 1024x768). I guess I'll just use my Razer Diamondback 3G ;; | ||

First i will say that i use a relatively high DPS mouse and what it has done for me is give me really really excellent micro control (I even beat GM's and pros in maps like morrows micro tournament). The higher DPS means that your mouse can recognize more imaginary dots on your mousepad and thusly make your mouse movements on screen more accurate. what it can also do is increase the sensitivity of the mouse because it recognizes more dots of movement with a smaller sweep of the hand. So to maximize precision with your mouse follow these steps: 0: maximize dps through mouse driver or mouse instructions 0.1: Remove windows accelleration (you may need to download a quick fix, just google "get rid of windows mouse accelleration" 1: Alter windows sensitivity to the lowest setting that doesn't annoy you. This makes your mouse slow but extremely accurate and precise. 2: load sc2 and put the sensitivity at around 15%... slowly creep the sensitivity up by increments of 1% until you find the most comfortable speed. 3: over time work on increasing your speed, as the faster your mouse moves in general the more you can physically get done in same/les amounts of time. It makes a ridiculously large difference when you can quickly and comfortable select things like templars, or box the perfect portion of marines for splitting. Speed and accuracy.... It literally lets you micro like pros do. Your mouse will be a problem only if it is skipping pixels or has dumb accelleration. Some people need to play with low sensitivity, so it's really a comfort thing. Again the goal is to have the fastest mouse you are comfortable with whiule making it as accurate as possible through maximizing DPS before hand. GLHF! | ||
