I just got the logitech G400 mouse and the first thing I notice is that the sensitivity is faster then mx518? Even on 400dpi it's too fast. I have installed the drivers. Is there anyone else that has this mouse and is it the same for you?

It could be that the new software for this mouse do not have an option to change your sensitivity like setpoint had

Yes it is. There is no accelaration option neither in the new software.

I just bought the G400 about two weeks ago, and compared to my MX510 it is faster, but I have found settings that work...

The setup I'm using is the standard:
Windows slider 6/11
SC2 sensitivity 51%
800dpi on mouse
accel. off

According to the descriptions on the box, it sounds like the G400 does not have acceleration as a feature, but I could be wrong.

edit:
They say the mouse has a "consistent response ratio" with a variance of <0.5%. Hence no acceleration is built into it.

Also, I did not install any software for this mouse. Plug and play.

:O How? I need to put my dpi down to 400 and sc2 sens down to 31% to be able to play (on 6/11) I think there is something wrong with either with my computer or my sc2.

Even if there is no mouse acceleration option in the mosue drivers, that doesn't mean it's not on. Windows has it's own. Check in controlpanel->mouse

or it could be that you're used to different DPI... different people different settings

Not sure if it's the issue, but in windows XP and 7 the mouse acceleration is on even if the check box is marked off, due to a bug. You would need a mouse registry fix to actually get rid of mouse accel, as well as checking everything off.

Why I think there is something wrong is that after I have played like 1 or 2 games my sensitivity increases from nowhere and it do not help to close sc2. It's faster on the desktop too so I need to restart my computer for it to go to normal wich is too fast too. It started with my mx518. I used to have 1250dpi and 66% in sc2 but then this weird increase in sensitivity started so I thought my mouse is broken. That is why I bought G400 but it happens to it too.

PS: I have a windows 7 mouse acc fix but it do not help a bit.

When I go into windows device manager there is another mouse other than my G400. But it do not help to uninstall it and it returns after every computer restart.

Do you have any not logitech mouses around?

Nope. It's wierd that it's only sc2 that f with my mouse. Yes I have tried reinstalling sc2 and removing the cache.

He had the same issue with the old mouse as well. Something (probably drivers) are screwing up while he is playing SC2.

Phantom driver is present in his system so i figure there is an issue with that. Logitech isnt exactly known for having the best driver writing on planet earth.

There is an option to change polling rate, it's not what is causing the problem.

The G400 uses the Avago ADNS-S9500 sensor which has some horrible builtin acceleration. ( about 10% I believe)

Get a better mouse!
I recommend something like the razer abyssus, but basically you just need something without builtin acc. and a good sensor (no prediction etc).

What about his old mouse having the same problem. I have the same mouse and do not have this issue.

Acceleration isnt the issue here and "buy a new mouse" isn't especially constructive.

EDIT:
I just checked it again because of the post below me and SH*** I am SO sorry I wrote BS. I checked the wrong mouse (missclicked -_-) and the g400 uses the same sensor as the mx518(upgraded, apparantly).
OMFG I am so sorry.

However, the MX518 sensor is still crappy. Why it is too fast I can't tell now. The ADNS-S3080 isn't known for having speed issues.

where is the source on the g400 having a 9500 sensor? From the reviews I've read, no one has reported acceleration but prediction as like the mx518.

OP: test the mouse on a different computer if you can and see if the problems exist. You should try to uninstall ALL your logitech drivers as they can mess with your mouse. Logitech has bad drivers. Also, if you can, return the mouse for a new one and see if the problem persists, might be a faulty product.

Maybe you are used to it. Just try it out. Fix the mouse to a certain point(look where the cursor is, fix it on an icon on your desktop or w/e) and then push it a bit to the side, then as fast as you can back to that fixed point. Your mouse will be very far away. At least if my information is correct that the G400 uses this sensor (which I double checked.)

If your mouse is too fast, but all your configurations are normal and you checked everything important on the software side, it is a hardware issue.
And the sensor being too fast because of builtin acceleration is a known issue. Just google it and you will find tons of posts about it.

And actually, buying a decent mouse instead of a crappy one is the best advice you can give.


I use an MX518 with all mouse acceleration disabled and a mouse registry fix to completely remove accel because after 10 years microsoft still hasn't fixed that damn bug. The mouse comes with very very many accolades. It is not a crappy mouse under any definition.

If you read the OP's second post you will notice that he is saying that his sensitivity will increase while playing SC2 and that closing out does not help, he has to restart his computer. I doubt this is because of typical mouse acceleration anyway.
