<div class="IPBDescription">picking the right lvl</div> So iam trying diffrent sens mostly between 2-4 but i cant really make sure wich that is the one for me. 2 can be hard when spinning around alot, 3 is kinda normal maybe a little too high, 4 is way too high or very good in close combat. (im currently switching 3 when im marine and 4 when im alien)
My question is how can u determine wich is the best for u, any tests?, or do u have to feel for yourself as im afraid that i have to, or if u play enough with 1 u get used to it?
I cant really move my arm very much when im moving the mouse around the mouse is kinda small. I also get slowdowned because im getting sweaty after a while making it harder to glide with my entire hand. I touch the func with my thumb (sometimes), lil finger and wrist. Also could it be a big problem in gaming that my mouse is small?

As said, you just have to play around with it - it doesn't have to be a whole number (if 2 is too slow, and 3 is too fast, what about 2.5? for example)
Just try different settings until it feels comfortable! <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

6 = alien
5 = fade (dunno why...)
Windows has a speed setting and acceleration setting, Personally I dont use the acceleration and have the speed in the middle. Then in game my Sensitivity is 6.
accel off is easier for tracking, and in general the sens should be the lowest you can manage, low sens helps at long range, and does about as well as high sens at melee range.
How about setting your mouse sensitivity so that you turn around 180 degrees in-game, when you make one natural movement with your wrist?
I got that tip from a friend and it has helped my aim/game *alot*.
Well my sensitivity is 15, I tried 20 and i found it to be a little too frantic... Anything below 15 is too SLOW for me, I can't see to find how people play with that low sensitivity...
All the low numbers surpirse me actually. I use 17 or a lil less all the time, I can go 180 so fast, I love it. It did take time to get used to though, but like I said, I think it's well worth it.
If you got, for example, a Logitech MX500/700 with GlideTapes and a Speedpad, i think you don't need a very high sensitivity.
As I can see you seem to use a good mousepad with some logitech mouse, so I think for you 3,4 may be fine, where others need sensitivities up to 20.
Try turning it a bit higher and play with it for one or two days, you'll see how easily you get used to it.

uhm, 17?
maybe it depends of the settings in windows and what kind of mouse is using during the game.

I generally try to go for a slow-medium sensitivity as marines as I have to aim precisely..in the end I just keep firing my LMG until they die 50>skulk <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->
And a higher one for aliens as your just have to get 2-3 bites and then quickly turn to your next victim.

2.7 - 2.9 might be good <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->.
Low sens is better in games with lots of distance combat. CS, DoD, those sorts of games reward being able to headshot someone from across an area so big you'd never see it in NS. I find it much better to be able to twist around and follow a fade that just blinked past you in a small cramped hallway. If you have a lot of mouse pad to work with, and don't mind moving your arm around a lot, go with a lower sens. It'll make it a bit easier to get those kills at long distances, but you'll be whipping around a lot when you get into close range.
I use sensitivity 11 but I like high sensitivity. Oh and don't use a mousemat, it makes that mouse move slowly and in a generally weird way, the desk will do.
And i have a mx510 with 1 notch right from the very left,(slowest). This is with no mouse accel.
I can't see how people play above a sensitivity of 2.5 <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
