I'm playing insurgency but it works in it too, thanks.

EDIT:

I think this guide is misleading. You say that mouse smoothing is bad, but why do I always feel I hit tons better with smoothing enabled, no matter if the dpi is high or low?

Holy what a "LOT" of stuff to do with just a mouse!!! rep+ it may be not ur credits but its very nice that you can share it with us.

The information about windows sensitivity is wrong. He found out later that lower the windows sensitivity doesn't do anything and higher it does.

Does changing mouse sensitivity from the console to 0.75 really make it 0.75, because in the settings it shows 0.8?

Update:
You can remove it, BUT ONLY AFTER you have given it an honest effort for like a week,

Why should I remove it? the link is dead :/

Another question, I have a razer lachesis and windows 6/11 2000 dpi/1000hz most of i read recommened to set the razer sensitivity on 10 but its too fast in windows. Is it needed to make the mouse more precise or can i put it on 1 like i have now. I don't know if its bad and produces negative/positive acceleration.

sry for my english i hope you can help me to make a decision

Touche

Does that mean that this is not correct?

Do you have a link to one of his posts regarding the new findings about Windows sensitivity?

Yes It's just limited in the settings - however if you go into the settings and accept any changes, it will usually revert back to 0.8

Some people don't like the "slower" mouse you get from installing it. It's just a matter of preference, some people are less sensitive than others.

On the Razer sensitivity - not sure, but it would make sense if it wasn't exact when you turn it down. I always have mine maxed - just get used to the extra DPI.

I don't know why there was like 5 things for removing mouse acceleration.. if its off in the Windows mouse settings then its off.. It won't pop back up or come back or anything, if a PC is off, its off unless its turned back on. You don't need to install registry fixes or set all those launch options into Steam just like how you don't need to pull the plug out of your computer and call the electric company to shut off your power so your computer doesn't turn back on.

If its off its off, I don't understand the big deal..

Excellent guide thanks. I have some questions and a general feedback for the guide though if Antigen himself or anyone else can please answer them.

I have a Logitech G5 (the 2007 version) which i recently bought, before i was using a Logitech Optical Pilot (if i remember correctly the name)

In general i was always using crappy or at the very best just decent mouses, before the G5 the Pilot was the most expensive mouse i ever bought.

I am saying this because when i plugged the G5 i was expecting something awesome but i was really disappointed with the whole feel of the mouse. I immediately start googling and i found this guide here. I didn't know any of the stuff written here before so i follow them to see if i can optimize my mouse.

As you said in your guide turning off all the acceleration is the hardest setting to get accustomed to, but after only 2 days i notice my improvement in the desktop, in COD4 and especially in a music game i play which requires precise aiming and timing.

Anyways, my questions are

1) I am forced to use the Setpoint. Simply because if i leave the default XP drivers i have 400, 800 and 2000 dpi. And because i am using the "6" setting in the control panel as you suggest none of these dpi resolutions are comfortable for desktop use. So i use the setpoint to change my dpi how i want it. I use 1050 dpi for desktop use on a 17" monitor at 1280x1024 resolution. I followed all your tweaks to completely disable mouse acceleration in Windows plus i make sure to disable as well all the settings in setpoint who affect acceleration. I also leave the speed of the mouse in the default middle setting in setpoint as well. My question is if i can change the dpi in G5 without installing the setpoint or do you think i am okay with the setpoint drivers as long i configure them correctly as i mentioned above?

2) Is there any firmware upgrade for my mouse? Because i downloaded the 1.2 firmware upgrade for the G5 and although i had installed the setpoint drivers it's says that it can't find the G5 mouse. Is this because i have the 2007 version? Is there any firmware upgrade for the 2007 version?

3) And last a question about the "6" setting in control panel. I don't doubt you that this is the optimal setting (as i said i notice a real improvement after following your guide) but let's say i had a 400 dpi mouse in 1280x1024 resolution and in the "6" setting the mouse will be extremely slow (at least for me) for general desktop use. What are the options for low-dpi users (besides buying a new mouse of course) in this situation? Yeah i know this last question has nothing to do with the G5 but i am asking just out of curiosity.

Sorry for the long message and please excuse any grammar/spelling errors.

Well I followed the guide, but when I started checking everything out it didn't looks so good. I did everything instructed and this is what the mouse movement recorder shows when I whip the mouse around a bit:



This is with an Ikari mouse in Windows XP SP3. I double checked all the settings listed in the guide, and redid the reg key + restarted and it's still like that. This mouse has no drivers, so thats not the problem either. Anyone have any ideas?
