Edit: tryed it a few games, didn't like it Not good enough. Get up, new day, set to 600dpi, play for 5-10 games then put it to 800. I adjusted from 3500 to 450 in a couple of days and never went back, aside from some nudges up towards 800 because it's easier to control the sc2 camera with middle mouse drag scroll at higher dpi's. 450 on 1920x1080 is probably too low for most people, but 800 is not - seriously. It's just a case of adjustment. | ||

It's just a case of adjustment. added for emphasis, but yea, you really need to spend more than a couple of minutes or hours trying to get used to a new cpi setting. When I went from a mid sens player to a low-ultra low sens player it took me probably 2 months to fully adjust, but I will never go back now. Heck, I just got my g100s and have been using 750 cpi instead of 800 (native step), and it took me 3-4 days just to adjust to that small change, but I'm feeling I have much more control again. You really need to spend a lot more time trying things in order to find your best sensitivity, 2-3 day's isn't enough. A week to try smaller things out. A month for a new mouse, and at least two for both of these things combined. This is also why most pro's won't continually switch mice and stick with theirs, even if it performs suboptimally, because they often don't have the time they would need to re-adjust. | ||

+ Show Spoiler [My non scientific opinion on sensitiv…] + Very high "sensitivity" is bad and unhealthy. When I think of low sensitivity I think of 400-600 dpi, 800-1000 medium and 1600 high.Unless your screen resolution is very different from the common 1600x900/1920x1080 I advise everyone to stay within the 500-1000 dpi range. Even with legitimately horrible mouse settings one can still play starcraftII at a high level. Ughm.. ughm and disable enhanced pointer precision!! | ||

This way I wouldn't have to be accustomed to two different mouse sensitivities. And since my resolution ingame is lower than in windows, it shouldn't affect accuracy. | ||

SC sens 82% This is like using something like 800dpi.. (at 1440x900.. so that's like equivelant to 1k dpi at 1920x1080.. which is completely normal middle of the line sensitivity) you are doubling your mouse speed in sc2 menu. Just put it to 51-54% and raise your DPI | ||

Just put it to 51-54% and raise your DPI You don't get it, it's about feeling, higher dpi values feel awkward to me whereas with lower dpi values I can play at ease without frowning upon my mouse because it feels weird using higher dpi values, so thanks for your advice but no thanks. | ||

The feeling will be exactly the same if you play with that sens properly, instead of using bad multipliers (same mouse movement to cross screen), only you don't have messy mouse sens because of upscaling First of all I'm using 360, which makes me wonder if you've even read my comment properly. And no, the feeling won't be exactly the same, I know this as a fact since I've already tried this in numerous ways with various dpi values and various mice, the feeling is definitely different when you use higher dpi values and it's annoying. Btw, you can claim I have a messy mouse sens because of upscaling, but at least I won't get annoyed at the feeling of the sensitivity, + it works for me, so whether it's "messy" or not is irrelevant. | ||

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 I actually was using 3200 DPI for awhile, but it was with a palm grip mouse that was hard to move. I've since switched to a smaller, fingertip grip mouse and 1800 DPI; it's much, much better :D | ||

I really should try and heighten it little because i feel my mouse speed is a wee bit slow when doing lategame multitask. | ||

I got it wrong by 1 step because i didn't go back and check the comment again, because i knew what you said. Why are you using ~80% sens in starcraft 2? It's a DPI multiplier you shouldn't be using, if you want X sens, then set X sens, not Z*Y for the same sens as X but in a messed up way And to the guy saying 1600 feels too slow for some tasks - get used to it, play some fast maps on Osu, maybe even lower it - try to establish muscle memory, perfect mechanics and micro i can't see more than ~1k or so used - more DPI is a handicap on accuracy but 800 won't limit what you can do - I am only using more than 360/450 now because that's low enough to negatively affect performance trying to push >250apm, if you're having trouble with 1600, you just need to get used to it, lower, or establish better muscle memory | ||
