ie. You need to move half an inch really fast, but if you move too fast the mouse enhancement will try to adjust and you fly like 3 inches too far. It's good for control sticks used on console FPS because they can only move so far. Bad for when you really need short precision with a mouse. | ||

Edit: test it. With it on move your mouse 3 inches on the desk quickly then slowly. The distances traveled between the two will be different. With precision off it wlll remain the same distance no matter the speed the mouse is moved. | ||

It's however always horrible if you want exact hand movements to result in exact mouse movements consistently. And most gamers want exactly that. | ||

"Its all preference" I have used mouse accel for years, and I prefer it on because I am so used to it. I used it playing competetive CS, CoD4, serious WoW. At this point I know exactly how fast and how much I need to move the mouse to get anywhere because of muscle memory. Its actually quite nice in FPS for high precision sniping. | ||

Mouse acceleration makes muscle memory training harder and less reliable. You don't have the ability to calculate the exact speed at which you are moving your mouse to get a specific response. | ||

I'm curious as to how good your teams were in CS and CoD. | ||

I'm curious as to how good your teams were in CS and CoD. Second that. Being an ex-competitive fps player, any acceleration at all is bad. It isn't preference, it's stupidity to use it. It makes movements completely random, and you cannot have precise aiming while using acceleration as it is effected by your last movement, making mouse movements completely random. I use the MarkC MouseAccel fix (windows will still use acceleration even if enhance pointer precision is disabled). It will help your mouse coordination greatly, even in Starcraft. | ||

it is effected by your last movement would you please explain this? | ||

Example: If you make a large sweep across your mouse pad at a fast speed, and then try to move the mouse slowly (say, following a target with your crosshair in a fps) your mouse speed will be artificially accelerated as a result of your last movement, making your ability to follow the target inconsistent. Aim is all about consistency, and this applies to your ability to micro in SC2 aswell. You can not practice and achieve perfect movements if they are completely random every time. | ||

Switching from on to off is sooo much easier than the other way around. Shouldn't take more than two weeks to get used to it completely. | ||
