when i used my DA 3.5g, i played @ 1800 DPI, 6/11 windows sens, 1000hz polling, 4/10 razer sensitivity 10/10 X/Y sens, no acc. DA is a great mouse.

now i use a logitech g9x @ 1300dpi, 6/11 windows sens. 1000hz. no acc or angle snapping.

I had mouse accel at 11/11 with 1800 before... got used to it and didnt want to switch so i went 6/11 with 3500. i think its overkill still. oh well.

EDIT
omg 1800 is so smooth compared to 3500. and i still feel in control of it. im useing it now.

I read all the posts, and I knew about the windows sensitivity and stuff. But I havn't seen much info about the razer sensitivity or the advanced sensitivity for x/y or the ones below it. I'm not sure what the best settings are for either bw or sc2. Does the razer sensitivity or advanced sensitivity matter? What settings do you guys have those on?

I have an odd question, but you seem like you can help me. I loved my old mouse setting of 1800DPI on 1280x1024 resolution, but I've upgraded to 1920x1080. So is there anyway to calculate a similar feeling DPI on the 1920x1080 resolution?

Not sure, Gcubed. You could always take the ratio of the number of pixels in your old resolution (multiply 1280 by 1024) with the number of pixels in the new resolution (multiply 1920 by 1080). Then you could multiply your DPI by that ratio to get something that will have the same Dots/Pixel.

That entire calculation maybe bad and wrong, but that's what I would probably do.

As far as my settings go, I use the same resolution and have my DeathAdder set to full 3500 DPI at 1000 Hz refresh rate and the master sensitivity at 8.5. Both X and Y axes are set to full sensitivity at 10.

I have a giant mouse-mat and use about 10% of it, since my settings are so high. =D

Also, it is UNTRUE that 400 DPI at 800x600 will feel the same as 800 DPI at 1600x1200. You would need a DPI of 1600 to make it feel the same, since 1600x1200 has four times as many pixels as 800x600.

Posting to save this for a few weeks down the road when I get my new deathadder for christmas ^^

I'm guessing the acc off, 6/11, 1800 DPI is what seems good for everyone. Will I be able to change the DPI once I set it?

Yeah, you can. There's a Razer driver that sits in your system tray. Also, I've heard some Razer products have a feature when you can change the DPI in game, but I've never configured it or used it.

If i understand correctly 1310720 / 2073600 x 2850 = 1801.48

So 2850 would be the proper DPI?

I'm using 3/11, 3500dpi, 500hz, no accel, SC2 sens at about 24-25, I actually wish it was like a TINY bit faster but I can't run the razer drivers (they crash my computer because I'm already running an overlay lol).

If you're going to play on lan then I wouldn't change anything don't install drivers. If not 800/1800 dpi. The polling rate will give you negative acceleration if you don't have a 64bit install of windows. So keep it on 500hz unless you're on a 64bit OS then it's safe to chuck it on 1000, not that i've ever noticed any difference.

Also don't change your Windows sens off 6/11 or it'll also create negative acceleration.

I don't quite understand why people keep mentioning their windows sensitivity, but not their razer sens. Might confuse some people.... I personally use 450dpi, at 6/11 windows sens, 10/10 razer sens, and 1000hz polling rate. No accel

http://phoon.us/mouse/

This is a great site which should answer everything you need, however I am not sure if the calculations work for sc2. They do work for most fps pc games, but the info below is still very helpful.

edit: And there is a risk of having too high dpi with low sens. Might not be a problem for any of you, but I used a really low sens for left 4 dead 2, and it caused negative accel with 3500dpi. The problem has been fixed since I started using lower dpi. I am an extreme case tho, since I play fps games at 11.4inch/360

Just updated the firmware to 2.44, turned off mouse acceleration and changed the windows mouse setting from 7/11 to 6/11. I see a world of difference in accuracy.

Thanks for the info

People keep thinking higher dpi will make you do faster movements which is false. Being able to accurately flick your mouse disappears when its too fast so you actually lose speed.

500hz is more consistant, too.


500hz ? You have a nice alienware comp, might as well go all out.

According to my math, 2850 is the exact number, but most mice don't let you pick an exact value. Go with the higher value (at least 2850), and then play with it from there.

Just got my deathadder today, been messing around with stuff, what do you guys think about playing with full 3500 and low in game sensitivity? Is there a benefit to doing it that way, or do you think 1800 dpi with midlevel in game sensitivity is better?

optimal is ingame sens of ~ 53 % (no skipping) and adjusting dpi from then on.


use 2600dpi @ 1680x1050 and 53% myself with my razer imperator.

Ok. Out of curiosity is there a reason 53% is optimal? I understand the skipping thing but I haven't really experienced skipping, is there a link or something? Not arguing with you, gonna try 1800 at 53, but just wondering if there was something more in depth available about that.

Edit : I suppose I am under the(possibly wrong) assumption that higher DPI is better?

Everyone makes this way too complicated, here is the TLDR version:

Windows Sensitivity at 6/11, Mouse acceleration/enhance pointer precision OFF
SC2 Sensitivity between 51-54% (doesn't matter which exact number), reduce mouse lag ON

Everyone should have the above settings to have a true 1:1 ratio and avoid mouse innaccuracies.

Now regarding the razer devices, you use the razer 1-10 sensitivity to adjust how fast you want your mouse to move, there is nothing wrong with anywhere on this range its just personal preference. Also, if you set it to 10 and its too slow than raise your mouses DPI usually via a switch or setting to the next higher increment (ie: from 1800 or 3500) and then try it out with 1/10 and keep going. You don't need to touch any other settings, the polling rate, or the x/y axis.

Also, get a freakin mousepad I see so many people play on their desk which just compromises the whole thing. Your only as strong as your weakest link.

Damn my TLDR turned out too long.

Sorry to bump an old topic, but just wanted to make sure that I understand what's been said in here correctly. Just got a Deathadder 3.5 and these are my settings:

[image loading]

Are they optimal for the whole 1:1 pixel ratio thing? Also got 53% in SC2. Thanks in advance!
