whats RSI okay i know what it is now. but it feels really comfortable for me. the cursor is about 4.5milimerters from left to right and 3.5ish mm top to bottom. feels just right. i dont get it. i dont have to move my wrist at all. barely. EDIT. i heard with high sensitive mouse lower bloodflows and all that since u barely move ur wrist but whats the different with moving my wrist another milimeter? im so used to this setting. i have it at 100% in sc2 and window and can perfectly select little units all minimap clicking and all that. im so used to it. will it give me RSI? can someone conform this plz | ||

Cant imagine going back to such low dpi that I used to play with years ago O.o | ||

Cant imagine going back to such low dpi that I used to play with years ago O.o Higher dpi gets you nothing, but lower dpi will help your accuracy. You can click on individual scvs or zerglings with ease at great speeds (5 to 10 individual units in a second without mis clicks for example, no boxing) at 3200dpi? You can not do that. Having been a long time user of higher dpi settings, my very clear recommendation is that <2000 dpi is just way better. Much more comfortable for gameplay, and increased accuracy. What exactly you should go for, of course, depends on your mouse and mouse pad. | ||

To OP, also keep in mind that the relative sensitivity to a DPI setting depends of your resolution, IE my 800 DPI are for 1920x1080, if yours is lower, you need to lower the DPI to get the same (as it's inches per pixels, less pixels = less distance to cross the whole screen) | ||

Using the Abyssus, same dpi and hz, and actually its true what the initial guy says, you can do everything with your wrist and you barely need to move your arm. Maybe it suits people better with higher APM(?)(my apm is 220-240, masters zerg) because they move faster with both keyboard and mouse. Whenever I go back to a "normal" mouse setting at school or something, it feels like it takes far too much effort to move the cursor, espescially when using it for a longer period of time. | ||

"high dpi moves faster" is a stupid excuse, if you are using the right kinds of grips, you can actuly make accurate cross-screen movements with far lower dpi's faster or at least matching the speed of higher ones (at the same accuracy) The higher you go in terms of DPI, the more you are trading away accuracy though, you might not notice it in sc2, but in other games it is extremely obvious, and coming back from a competitive FPS or playing a bunch (6+ hours) of Osu or something, you will really see the uncomparable difference. Ive used 3200dpi for hundreds of hours, ~360-540 for hundreds also, and i would never go back above 1k in my life. You will also notice down at the low dpi settings like 450, if you play for 15 hours behind your shoulder will ache badly, but if you are at 800-1k+, you cant even make half those playing times because your wrist locks up and doesnt function, as well as causes a great amount of pain. But most people dont ladder or chain games of any mouse-intensive type for more than a couple hours, so its not really noticed. ^In my experience | ||

I am using Palm Grip (I think the grip plays a big role in this as well since you usually use a lower dpi with claw grip) and I am most comfortable with 3500 for now. I don't think there is a 'best setting' for everyone, it's mostly up to personal preference. | ||

It's important to figure out what is best for you. Although, it would be good if you don't mess with Windows mouse settings (the infamous 6/11) to avoid issues like pixel skipping. Don't be afraid to mess around though and figure it out for yourself. Personally I prefer fast mouse with very little movement with the wrist. so my settings are: 2200 DPI on Razer DeathAdder Black 3.5G; 6/11 on win, all accelerations zeroed. SC2 client - well, I have no idea - guess everything is by default. | ||

all enhancements off 6/11 in windows then 51% sc2 in game sensitivity sc2 smooth mouse? (forgot what its actually called its under sc2 options somewhere I have it ticked) 800dpi for shooters and 1600dpi for starcraft 2 / dota As long as there is absolutely zero acceleration I can probably get used to any sensitivity. | ||

to the OP, you should at least take a look at the acceleration, CPI (the entire section is important), and windows sensitivity settings sections, that should give you a good idea on what settings do what, and how you should go about setting up your own properly. | ||

windows 6/11, dpi 800, sc2 sensitivity ON at 51% (there's a slight chance if you have it off that it could lag if windows lags, or something...i read something about it in a guide..), enhance precision off. | ||

Edit: tryed it a few games, didn't like it, 800 DPI was way too slow for me, i had trouble boxing a pack of speedlings on Creep. good tips tho, made me find that i was on 1800 instead of 1600, good call | ||
