Is this some sort of secret or am I wrong in thinking the thread and guide on liquipedia say that 7/11 is bad? Video of Stream skip to 18:40 Here's a screencap of him using the settings + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/yoKnf.png) Is it a secret that only IM know? Is it something to do with Korean computers? Is it something to do with Streaming? Yes i'm new to sc2. I just got a new mouse and was looking up some settings to try out to see how they feel for me. I felt like making a new thread for this because there's a lot of information in my post but after reading the guidelines I posted here. Sorry for the length. Yea I also saw him use 70% sens in Starcraft 2 and on another day streaming at the IM house he had it lower. I don't think he is really concerned about the technical aspects like many people are. Many koreans are using lower dpi mice like the G1 so they may perfer to have higher sensitivity by raising the mouse slider a couple notches. From a techninal side you will skip pixels but I'm sure NesTea is more focused on Starcraft 2 to even concern himself with specifics like having a 1:1 ratio. MKP and MVP also use the G9X which has a ton of positive acceleration, I'm sure they are comfortable using it where some people would refuse to ever recommend it due to this flaw. Basically I think Nestea puts more effort into concentrating on the game then trying to find out more about his mouse sensor and settings. | ||

Is there a way for me to reset the mouse? After that you should try contacting SS support, they have a customer contact link on their page. If they can't help you, I would say return the thing. | ||

I tried fiddling with the steelseries engine but it seems like you need to raise the dpi to above 800 to even use acceleration (i wanna use 400 dpi) Don't think so, they changed the sensor, the original kinzu's acceleration was actually a hardware flaw. Also, currently using the Logitech G100, been looking for a proper replacement for my broken Logitech mx300 for years, not many mice have that size and shape. I like the matte shell unlike the glossy G1 so perspiration is severely diminished although I would prefer the more pronounced texture of the smaller g9x grip. The wire is also thinner having less of a stiff feeling when moving the mouse. One of of my favorite things about this mouse is that fact that you can lower the weight from 80 grams to around 60. Even though the G100 looks like the mx300 and G1, the design was simplified making it lighter, they added a removable metal weight to make it weight as much as the G1. To do this you have to buy new mouse feet, the bottom mouse skate covers up the screw to open the mouse. After the screw is out, lift the top slightly and pull the top not up but back then finally remove the screw to the weight. | ||

He seemed very particular in opening it and checking that it was at 7. It should be noted that the coach (whose computer it is) already had it on 7/11.

If you watch the rest of the video ( HERE ) you see him changing the mouse settings around (from 70 to 60 to 64 etc) several times and he tests the mouse to see how it feels. Wouldn't he be better off having it at 8/11 and lowering the sensitivity on sc2 or viceversa..... ? Does anybody know NesTea to ask him. It just seems strange that the best starcraft players who focus on improving the smallest details to get the edge are using settings that I notice to be detrimental to my own play? | ||

edit: apparently u can only choose from those 3 dpi levels tt, does anyone know of a mouse that has the same ambidextrous shape/size of a xai while having a good sensor w/ no accel? the am looked promising but it has locked dpi speeds tt edit2: any thoughts on the kana? seems like it has shitty mouse feet/lift of distance, god damnit why does the am have locked dpi speeds :[ | ||

Why is it bad to have 450/1150/2300 fixed DPI settings? From another thread here on TL, I found the following: OPTIMAL MOUSE SETTINGS 6/11 Windows setting. Default in drivers (if using any) Enhanced Precision UNCHECKED in mouse properties in Control Panel. 51-54% sensitivity in SC2 Use DPI as a way to tweak your sensitivity, more DPI for faster sens and less DPI for slower sens. Is that all DPI really does, tweaking sensitivity? It has little impact on screen resolution? I get the feeling that we can not tweak our sensitivity, it should be set in stone to work optimal. *head explodes* I cant believe picking a mouse can be this hard :s | ||

Basically I think Nestea puts more effort into concentrating on the game then trying to find out more about his mouse sensor and settings. Absolutely false statement. I've tested every G9X I've come across (well over 10 different ones), this mouse does NOT have positive acceleration or any acceleration of any kind, unless you want it to and turn it on in settings. People that state this must have no idea how to test for acceleration and just go by random statements online. I used top lay with acceleration turned on, till I ran tests, then decided to turn it off in settings, and afterwards mouse-tests reported ZERO acceleration. I've used lots of mice Razer, Steelseries, etc, many many bad mice with acceleration, but this mice is great for SC2 specifically, and has absolutely no accel. Anyone with a brain should know how to go into simple settings menu and turn it off. We are on an Internet forum by the way, this should be obvious. Do I really have to post pics? I don't know why this forum is littered with incorrect statements about G9X, i really see it over and over. P.S. I didn't even need to install any Mouse-fix or tweaks to get 1:1 ratio 0-acceleration. G9X in my experience is the best shape and performing mouse for SC2 hands down. Such a comfortable shape for the hand and not all retarded bulky and awkward like many Razer/Steelseries mice. And I never mentioned this be ZERO ACCELERATION! | ||

It has little impact on screen resolution? I get the feeling that we can not tweak our sensitivity, it should be set in stone to work optimal. *head explodes* I cant believe picking a mouse can be this hard :s DPI is just a rating on how many pixels the mouse will move when moved one inch. Literally Dots per Inch, though dots is a bit of a misnomer. Mousing around has been flawed since the early 90's and flat out bugged until Windows 7 was released, the same bug from win 95 was migrated to windows 98 (both 1 and 2) and was then migrated to ME, and XP as well as Vista despite gamers telling blizzard that the enhance pointer precision option was bugged and could be fixed in a coffee break. It took Microsoft about 12 years to fix it. So what we have to deal with is this. If you want more sensitivity, you can multiply the end result the mouse gives you, or you can change the way the mouse takes measurements. The problem with the first one is that the mouse has no way of signaling remainder values, and those remainders add up to real pixel movement differences when multiplied (this was hardcore bugged in Vista and led to drift). Thus the only real way to change a mouses sensitivity is to change the DPI of the mouse. If a mouse can only operate on three presets, you have to like one of those presets. Or you might as well just be using a $5 garbage mouse from your local pizza restaurant. And indeed we see many pro's doing just that. And so, really high DPI mouse only make sense for enormous resolutions. The razer imperator is like a 5600 DPI mouse and the only way thats comfortable at 6/11 is if you are into 6 monitor gaming or something like that. but that mouse is garbage anyway. Simply put, buy a mouse with fully customizable DPI. If its a mouse without it, it is a shit mouse IMO. And this includes many mice from pretty much every single top brand. | ||

No matter how fast or slow I move my mouse, I'm unable to produce acceleration.

If you haven't tested on low cpi, or high in/360, then unless you are quite sensitive to these things you likely won't even notice it. Basically, unless you're playing FPS you likely won't notice this issue unless you are sensitive to any amount of accel. As for the data, I think it speaks for itself. + Show Spoiler [DATA :)] + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUVhRTomYEc&feature=player_embedded x-axis in increments of .5m/s ![[image loading]](http://wikis.jp/interfacedevice/index.php?plugin=ref&page=MaximumSpeed_en&src=GPad.gif) ![[image loading]](http://wikis.jp/interfacedevice/index.php?plugin=ref&page=MaximumSpeed&src=GPadAll.gif) ![[image loading]](http://wikis.jp/interfacedevice/index.php?plugin=ref&page=MaximumSpeed_en&src=I2.gif) ![[image loading]](http://wikis.jp/interfacedevice/index.php?plugin=ref&page=MaximumSpeed_en&src=G-PadG9x.gif) ![[image loading]](http://666kb.com/i/bembmcqcomq0nuxym.gif) this was a comparison of the xai and g9x tracking | ||
