100% on 1920x1080 feels too slow for me. I'd prolly eventually get used to it, but I rather want to keep my fast chaotic speed. | ||

I dont think high DPI is good for RTS, it is more like an FPS or war3 kinda thing. | ||

anyways, the most important thing is the hardware itself. Make sure it's the right weight/comfort/grip for you, then you can work around that and find the sensitivity thats best for you. | ||

One of the things that has made me not want to switch to 1920x1080 is the decrease and change in sensitivity. 100% on 1920x1080 feels too slow for me. I'd prolly eventually get used to it, but I rather want to keep my fast chaotic speed. So get a really high DPI mouse and it will still feel as fast on 1920x1080 o_O? Having 100% sensitivity results in pixel skipping anyway-.- | ||

What DPI do I play at? 4025, with 51% accuracy. The only thing I'm incapable of is doing my scout-worker patrol circle on the minimap, I always aim a little to short causing him to dive into the mineral lines and die. | ||

6/11 window sensitivity 51-54% SC2 sensitivity Is optimal since it makes sure you don't skip pixels and have a 1:1 ratio. It might feel weird to change but it is better. Just like changing inefficient hotkeys to closer ones is better but it will feel/be slower at first until your brain readjusts to it. Use the DPI to choose how "fast" you want your mouse to be, obviously there is no correct or perfect setting its user preference. If you have a razer mouse, use the razer mouse sensitivity to adjust your DPI and if you max it out at 10/10 then switch on the bottom of the mouse to a higher mechanical dpi and start again at 1/10. Everyone should be using 16 : 9 as well as their screen resolution too...it shows more of the game than other resolutions. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=191998 | ||

I used to use a Logitech MX1000 which has a max static 1000dpi but it wasn't smooth if you tested it drawing lines and such in paint. But the G700 is very smooth at drawing lines so the accuracy is better even though its also using only 1000dpi setting. | ||

Its all personal preference, but since you should mostly be using minimap/hotkeys, you don't really need to move a lot. oh wait, i use xai.. so its 4500 (CPI) LoL | ||

Very fun  But I was asking for advice on choosing a new faster mouse than my Diamondback 3G (1800 DPI) because I said it wasn't fast enough. Then they all looked at me like I was stupid. I play with my mouse on LUDICROUS SPEED (Max settings) apparently, but I asked everyone else and they all UNANIMOUSLY said they don't use the max speed, or even more than half sometimes because of the ability to control the cursor.I play comfortably with the highest settings, and my mouse control is very fine, but still feel its a little slow. The others have mouses that go up to 5600 DPI, but I really don't see the sense in buying such a mouse if they aren't going to go that high. What is the point of getting a mouse like that? I noticed that Pro SC players can move their cursors at the speed of light. Would a player with high DPI benefit more than a player with low DPI because he doesn't have to take a long time to move around the map? Or would a player with low DPI be better than a high DPI because he can more accurately control his units? And to others who like high DPI, what is the highest setting you are able to play comfortably? I have an 1800 DPI mouse and have the Razer settings at 10/10 and windows settings at max, and SC setting at 100%. Still feel its slow. My hand moves about 1cm on the mouse pad to go across a 1920pixel screen, and I feel very comfortable and accurate with it. i used to play like this, i recorded myself playing once (not SC2... but still) and holy shit i was so fucking inaccurate. i was SO comfortable with it, but seriously i died thousands of time not because i didn't shoot first or did a stupid move, but because my aim was fucked up due to not being able to properly place it where i wish it would go. and i never felt it in game, i just thought it was the recoil that messed up or some shit. today i play 3200 DPI, 3 windows, 23 in game. takes about 5-7 ish CM to get across my 22" 1680x1050 screen. it's still very fast and i can do fast scrolling and movements but since i did this, my accuracy in ALL games have gone up by thousand percents. seriously, try it, get used to it, you'll never go back. yes you are comfortable now, but you'll be far more comfortable at a lower speed when your accuracy is actually what you're doing with your mouse, not what you manage to do with your mouse | ||

Also has anyone used a Logitech M115 or M90? Just wanted to ask because I am about to get one, and since I am dirt shirt poor, I can afford no better. | ||

I use the following for playing at 1920x1080: 6/11 in WIndows 1000 DPI in Setpoint 333 report rate 52% in SC2 menu. Hot Pink lights (This is important) When I play BW or other games that are low res I drop DPI to 600. I only go above 1000 in FPSs. I also use no grip or weights so my mouse is tiny and super light. | ||
