Outstanding work Antigen! I will be trying some of your suggestions on my G5 soon!

The only thing that I could NOT see covered (and that I have been searching for) is a way to enable/disable an individual axis.. or at least throttle them back to my desired DPI. The G5 allows me to go down to 400 DPI sensitivity (and has indepentent axis control) but when I am looking to minimize ALL side-to-side movement such as when playing a golf game I would like to reduce it lower than 400 DPI or turn it off completely.

Do you have any research on this? Aside from a mechanical mod on an older ball mouse I have not found a software/configuration/driver approach.

Thanks!!

Is there a way to make a BAT so I dont have to type it in every time?

Quote:

sensitivity "3"
m_filter "0"
m_pitch ".022"
m_yaw ".022"
m_customaccel "0"
zoom_sensitivity_ratio "1"

You don't need to make a BAT file; use an alternate (extra) config file (I call mine autoexec).You can do a Google search for more info or go to FPSBanana for instruction on how to add the extra file to your config folder. Once this is done, every time that you load the game your new settings will be loaded.
Hope that this helps.

Whoa. Hats off to you dude, nice one.

Solved my issue. Setpoint uses a local profile configuration file. C:\Doucments and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Logitech\SetPoint\User.xml

In there is the string for managing the DPI settings per axis:

GameModeResolutionPresets="2000,1000,600,-1,400" (X axis)

GameModeResolutionPresetsY="2000,1000,800,-1,400" (Y axis)

A value of -1 means that position is not used. You can stop the SetPoint.exe process and edit this file. A reload of the Set Point software will reload the XML configuration. I also found that I needed to increase the polling rate to 1000 Mhz to get the results I wanted.

Each DPI setting must increment by at least 50 dpi with a lowest setting of 50.

Enjoy!

Hello..

Thanks for the great article about the mouse. You should get Noble Prize for this one. Hehe.

I use a lot of mouse including Razer Krait, Acrox 1600DPI and a normal mouse. What I mean by "normal" mouse is that the mouse is not a popular mouse and not branded. Well, I think the mouse is made from China and it is written e-aser on top of the mouse. Maybe that is the brand.

By applying the setting and the mouse reg fix that you post, even using the normal mouse feel so nice. There are no more pixel skipping, unwanted acceleration and other things that nag me for so long.

Thanks man!

Okay, no you can't lighten Wireless mice.

They are heavy because of batteries inside them add weight. You should have seen how heavy the MX1000 laser mouse was, wireless with a 800mAh battery. That is much much bigger than the G7 battery, and it was NiCad technology... :'( BrickMouse 1000 is more like it.

Lol.
But its fine now, after some months of usage, I'm almost accustomed about the g7's weight.

No offense, but mousefixes are not great. Source wasn't built so you had to do all this stuff to make it playable. And mousefixes don't make you better. CPL mousefix was awful for 1.6. You'll get better when you get used to any mouse with any set-up. It is cool that you can change all these settings though, I'll give you that.

aaronman · 09-13-07

I think you totally missed the point of this. It's not just an in-game mousefix. It disables all accelerations within windows. I got so much better in FPS games after doing this also.
