And why not just turn mouse sensitivity off in sc2? Then you will have the same sens as everywhere else. | ||

A lot of players use between 800 and 1200 DPI, 1200 DPI being already quite high. Demuslim said on his stream he uses 1070, I use 800. It's a matter of preference anyway, but around those numbers you have a good speed/precision compromise. I don't know how people can play at 3200 DPI as I saw in other threads x_x Thanks man, appreciate it | ||

I've tried and its completely rediculous. | ||

I know there are threads on mouse settings here but I have yet to find out a definitive answer on this. Cheers. should always use 6/11 in windows and same in sc2 (50%+-2, or just turn it off) as for Hz - download mouse rate checker and figure out on how much Hz your rate is 100% of time is the same when you're moving mouse with different speed and in different directions | ||

The mouse already does this, at 800dpi you are telling it to move 800 of these little jumps per inch of movement, at 1000dpi you are telling it to move 1000. Having sensitivity scales messed up (not at 6/11, 51-54%, driver settings wrong) will just result in inconsistent and inaccurate movement. If you are refering to smoothness of movement etc, no, it wont change at all, as long as you are on the right scale settings (6/11 in windows, 51-54% in sc2). By raising DPI you are telling your mouse to move 1 pixel more often in movement (in very exact margins), but by lowering sensitivity, you are telling windows to, for example, ignore the mouse a third of the time that it tells windows to move the cursor 1 pixel | ||

Ive never seen anybody legitimately use over 2k, out of all the people ive asked etc, nobody actuly used that without having positive and/or negative acceleration on, or messing up scales, using for example 3200dpi, but 3/11 in windows, which will ignore 75% of your mouse movement | ||

To be honest, some pixel skipping in sc2 (if it does occur at 71%), is NOT a problem at all. I have never noticed pixel skipping or lack of mouse control whatsoever. | ||

Well then your 71% sens in sc2 is taking you to about 7k effective DPI. Your sensitivity is far far too high (by a factor of at least 3-5) for you to be able to have the accuracy in the first place that you say you are not noticing losing. | ||

For fps I use between 1200 and 2000 depending on the game. Even 2000 feels slow for me in starcraft 2 sometimes, but I'm not going to go higher: I'm comfortable microing at 2000, but I'm not sure it would be as easy at say 2500 or 3000. | ||
