I really don't understand why it doesn't use DirectInput (or even better, raw input ala QL/CPM), and use a real in-game sensitivity like Quake/Quake3, etc. can. You can notice the effects on your own PC by putting the slider to 6/11, drawing some curved shapes in pbrush, then changing it to 11/11 and comparing the two. e.g. ![[image loading]](http://fpsgod.com/wordpress/media/winsenspaintsm.png) TLDR: Don't change in-game sensitivity (unless Blizzard fix it) or your windows sensitivity. Buy a mouse with higher DPI or use a lower resolution. | ||

50% is matching windows sens but in the end you either want Blizzard to do it the right way or get a mouse with changeable DPI | ||

The middle (6/11) setting is 1 to 1 and is safe to use. | ||

If you set your Windows mouse precision higher than the middle setting, then for every pixel that your mouse reports moving, Windows will move the cursor (1.5 / 2 / 2.5 / 3 / 3.5) pixels for the 7th-11th settings, respectively. In other words, if you set your mouse setting to 8/11 it is impossible to land on an odd-numbered pixel! The middle (6/11) setting is 1 to 1 and is safe to use. Good explanation  cheers! | ||

Testing it now. Didn't know about this 1:1 pixel deal. | ||

This (I think obviously) only applies if Windows and SC2 are the only programs modifying your sensitivity. If you're using, say, Razer drivers, it gets a bit trickier. | ||

If you put your Windows to 6/11 and put the Razer sensitivity to full, and try something in pbrush like the image above you should be able to tell if it's the same pixel-jumping method or if it's something a bit more stable/precise. | ||

I usually have windows sensitivity high (or possibly maxed), checkmark "enhance pointer precision", and use the DPI I want on my mouse (which is the max of 2000, or sometimes 1600). 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). | ||

FFFUUUU!!!! on topic: Testing this... sounds VERY interesting.. Edit: T.T ... WOW! I see what you mean by putting it on 11/11, the mouse like skips a few pixels, no, a LOT of pixels... well this helps narrow some choices for future purchases ... thanks! | ||
