The thing about when I have pointer acceleration on (enhance pointer precision), I can move from one end of the screen to the other, without loosing significant, if ANY vertical position. This is partially because my DPI isn't enough to go more than 45-55% across the screen by flicking my wrist without acceleration, but I can do so easily with the acceleration. It also accelerates the horizontal movement so much (and/or processes mouse intended movement), it makes the line straighter, so much so that there is sometimes no vertical loss. I think it's really quite debatable if someone used to and using acceleration is any worse accuracy than someone used to and using no acceleration. I will say however, that they can certainly be faster if both DPIs aren't sufficient. | ||

'That is just ignorant advice, having your mouse skip pixels gets exactly the same effects for the mouse as playing with lower resolution, which means that the only real difference is that the game now looks like shit. I play with it going 2 pixels per mouse pixel and I never had any problems with precision since the game don't notice a difference between if you click a pixel or its neighbor. | ||

This doesn't sound like the normal Windows mouse panel. Take a screenshot if you like :> Edit: P.S. It's probably safe to just put it on the centre value regardless. | ||

Yep, though I can't totally confirm specifically for Setpoint, but if it works the same/is tied to Windows sensitivity (which at least the older Logitech Setpoint drivers were), then as soon as you load SC2 it would set that sensitivity to whatever the closest notch is to your SC2 sensitivity percentage. | ||

There's a tickable option for "Use OS native drivers for pointer speed and acceleration" if that's ticked then setpoint settings will have no effect at all, your mouse cursor will go by windows settings. If it's unticked then it'll go by setpoint's settings. According to a logitech rep to get a "1:1" with setpoint is to have it at speed - 5 and acceleration - 0. Depending on what mouse you have and what resolution you use it may not move fast/slow enough for you. | ||

In my experience, changing the speed in setpoint works exactly like the mouse speed in windows. If you go over half way, you start to skip pixels and if you go to max it's just horrible. You can test it in paint. But that leaves me this question: at 2000dpi and halfway speed, my mouse is way too slow at 1920*1200, so is there a way to speed it up without losing accuracy? | ||

Obviously you can choose non-max windows sensitivity, but even then you should select "enhance pointer precision" as far as I know. On a different, but related note: Anyone know what "reduce mouse lag" in SC2 does? Anyone noticed a difference? which do they prefer? I do know on my old computer, when i played against 4 AIs and my machine slowed down to like 1-3FPS, my mouse clicks and stuff wouldn't register really. Perhaps that has something to do with that setting (it was disabled). Sometimes your mouse and just go all funky on you. Or rather, your mouse slows down (laggy, not sensitivity wise). So by enabling this, you're for sure that your mouse will be accurate and smooth. but it does cost some performance. If everything is normal for you, don't need to enable it unless you do. I just enable it just incase. | ||
