Else your mouse jitters. Second: Pointer precision enables acceleration, which is in general regarded as very bad for SC 2. Third: By using 11/11 in Windows and 100 % in SC 2 you mouse cursor skips pixels and moves inconsistent. Instead of this your mouse moves like this. And finally: Your sensitivity is overall way too high. 11/11 in Windows and 100 % in SC 2 make your mouse behave like it had 6300 CPI (!). Even on a monitor with a 4K resolution that’d be too much. its not sarcasm or trolling  i use those settingsif i disable pointer precision my micro is insanely bad, i cant click a single unit even if my pointer is right on them | ||

if i disable pointer precision my micro is insanely bad, i cant click a single unit even if my pointer is right on them Because your mouse DPI is too high by a factor of about 5-10, you rely on the massive negative acceleration on enhanced pointer precision | ||

Unless there is something physically limiting you from moving the mouse less than an inch, you can cross the entire screen at 2k dpi with extreme ease, and you can drop to a third of that sens after a while and adjust up from there if you still wanted to | ||

It's not at all neccesary (as you show) but if you want to take mouse control to the next level, it's the right thing to do | ||

I can't seem to adjust to lower DPI than that. | ||

It's just a preference, but with slower DPI it's "easier" to be accurate once you get used to it. | ||

The idea of moving my arm that much is hard, but I'll probably experiment with it on a different server or something. Edit: What does point movement speed do, and should it be at 5/10 :l | ||

For example top right to bottom left is optimal to select units and send them on the minimap. | ||

Last I checked (on a phone right now), I have my mouse at 6/11 windows, 51% in game, 3500 dpi. Razer deathadder. If the dpi is set below 1800 it feels like I'm moving a brick. But that's just me. I like being able to cross the entire screen with just a flick. Edit: and no accleration. | ||

I don't see how boxing from top left to bottom right is optimal. It's useful to use different case of boxing because they're optimal at different moments. For example top right to bottom left is optimal to select units and send them on the minimap. I think he meant it requires less muscular effort to go top left/bottom right and less stress on your wrist. The optimal way to box when talking about speed is the one you're talking about (when you don't have to change direction with the pointer to give the order to the units you just selected). I finally settled for 720 CPI, 630 was still a bit too low to reach the bottom left of the minimap easily :p | ||

It usually settles eventually and I'm able to use the minimap comfortably again but it always seems like a micro vs multitasking trade-off each time  | ||

Just give it time to get use to. It was a pain in the ass for me too to switch to lower dpi, but well worth it. | ||
