I have been reading alot recently about Mouse Precision. For years I used 4/11 Windows Sensitivity at 1600 dpi. Since reading upon Windows Sensitivity and how it is not precise at anything but 6/11, I have made the switch.
I tried for like 3-4 days to get used to it and could not. Everything I did no matter what I could not get used to it for the life of me.
Today though, I loaded up my Death Adder Drivers and changed the On The Fly Sensitivity to 5 (was at 10 before), and have felt really good about it.

The Tab Sensitivity above is the On The Fly Sensitivity that is only changeable through my drivers.
I have searched for hours with no results as to does this effect Mouse Precision like Windows Sensitivity does?
Thanks for the read. Hope someone has a answer  .

On The Fly sensitivity ? I've never heard about this ...
The only thing that I know of is that you can change it on the fly. Which means there is 2 buttons that'll allow you to switch between different dpi levels.
There is no such thing as on the fly sensitivity ?

I have the Razer Lachesis which, on the box, boasts "On-The-Fly Sensitivity" Adjustment which I think translates into being able to adjust between two different profiles.
Like Moshikaro said, the only On the Fly I know of with my mouse is the ability to change between two set mouse profiles.

Yes there is lol. New Mouses? Mice? have settings that you can change your Sensitivity separate from Windows through their Drivers. It seems to be even alot more precise changing that then what I used before. So far it seems pretty good.

I updated with a picture of my Settings. You see the Sensitivity Tab that is at 5? That is the On The Fly Sensitivity that is changeable only through my Drivers. Hopefully this clears up the confusion.

On-The-Fly sensitivity only refers to the change of the sensitivity by pressing a button on the mouse that switches sensitivity between the levels described at bottom right. It seems your mouse has individual settings for x and y axis, and most believe the acceleration will be your biggest enemy when it comes to playing games.

On my Razer Diamondback 3G I can hold down one of the side buttons and then use the mouse wheel to adjust the sensitivity up and down (really nice to have actually). There is also a way to go from the 1600 to 800 dpi modes, but I don't use it. This is on-the-fly sensitivity as I understand it.

The "On the fly sensitivity" is an option of the razer mouses, to change your sensitivity while your gaming. So you can press a button to increase or decrease your sensitivity while gaming. Now i have an imperator, which has the option to set the amount of dpi per 100 going up to 5600. Now your death adder isn't super high tech so it doesn't got that. But it can change the sensitivity bar while in game (you can set that to a button of your mouse using the driver).
It just got 3 settings for your dpi, the 450/900/1600 dpi. If you want to further increase the sensitivity of your mouse you want to adjust the actual sensitivity meter. This just comes down to tweaking. This has obviously nothing to do with the on the fly sensitivity settings.
Now for your actual question, i don't know for sure what the effect is of changing the sensitivity for your precision comparing to changing it inside windows. But since it is changed using the drivers it's probably gonna be way better then changing it trough windows.
So i suggest you just fine tune it to your specifics, using the sensitivity bar on the razer driver.

Thanks for the great post Mandarijin.
I have one of the first Deathadders with only 1600 DPI. And you cannot put it lower then the max or else it glitches out and skips pixels alot. So the only option was the sensitivity bar.
It seems ok so far. I changed it to about 1/2 to compensate for the big Sensitivity change that I had to make and it feels pretty good. Seems alot more precise then before overall even if it is not 100% with the change (Might be, Might not be).
Thanks for the help. I should test the precision with a external program one day. To see the diffrence it might make.
