Mouse Sensitivity

TUNA_Anomay · September 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Curiosity..</div> Just curious as to what sens everyone uses. I find that I need a much higher sens in NS than say, CS. In CS I use about 3.0, but in NS I use 4.8 (to aid quick rotation for tracking skulks).

XCan · September 2003

It depends on window setting etc, but I use 9.5 for both cs and NS.

X_Stickman · September 2003

I use 8, but i was quite good with 20 - 30 in CS, but anything higher than 30 is pretty hard to use.

I don't know the numbers, but it's about a half cm from the fastest.

for cs I use about 1.5-1.7. or just enough that u can turn completely around by moving the mouse from 1 edge of the mouse pad to the other.

for ns I use 2.2

just wondering, whats with all the super high sensitivities? I mean, in cs its really hard for me to line up my sights for a hs if the sensitivity is at like 10 cause the way mouse skips sometimes

3.7

lolfighter · September 2003

Fifteen. For mad fun, try setting it to 10000.

elchinesetourist · September 2003

14

i think it's hardwired into my brain now, since playing UT with an equivalent setting for years beforehand and then RTCW

CHAMois · September 2003

These numbers mean nothing without knowing someones mouse speed in windows.

I personally use 3/4 the way to Fastest in windows, and 7 sens in NS with mouse accel in game and out turned off (obviously)

Bo_Selecta · September 2003

12.5

Really? I didn't know that. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'>

Just so noone is mislead, exchanging mouse sensitivity settings is absolutely MEANINGLESS. A 1.3 using a certain mouse on a certain computer can be 10 times faster than a 9.4 with a different mouse on a different computer.

What people SHOULD be comparing is rotation you can get by only moving your hand IE keeping wrist stationary on the mousepad. That is a measurement that actually MEANS something across different computers and mice.

I have no idea what my sensitivity settings are, but I can pull a 270° turn in either direction without changing the position of my wrist.

Zel · September 2003

yeah its a multiplication on the windows mouse speed, and acceleration too. so long as you can turn 180 fast enough without picking up and putting down your hand, its good for you.

i have very fast windows mouse settings because of my large screen resolution, it has a lot of real estate to cover, and in NS i use 18.70 sensitivity, i can whip that shotgun around faster than a skulk's teeth can close.

ViPr · September 2003

i had mouse acceleration on in some windows setting and it made it really hard to play until i disabled it and then my sensitivity was like twice as high as usual so i halved it in the game but then the menu was still too sensitive but then later it was ok so i could increase my game sensitivity again. it was weird. i didn't know windows mouse settings could screw around with the way your mouse behaves in a game. i bet many people are doing crappily in the game because they don't know how to change those stupid windows settings.

snozzle · September 2003

5 in ns

8/11 for CS

Xiile · September 2003

16.5

Pa1adin · September 2003

I pull a 180 with 1 cm of mouse movement

Kazyras · September 2003

Just changing my drivers made me have to more than double my in-game sensitivity (in every game) to have the same rotation speed. This is with the exact same windows mouse settings.

uberbroke · September 2003

splat middle in window, mouse acceleration (enhanced pointers) OFF, <--i hate that stuff.

1.9 in cs, 3 in ns.

Soylent_green · September 2003

15 or so. Then I can turn 360 without moving my wrist. also, m_yaw and m_pitch also affect sensitivity.

You can set m_yaw or m_pitch to different values for different horisontal and vertical senstivity or to negative numbers for inverted mouse (urgh!)

torque · September 2003

I think I usually go around 10-12. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> I like being able to turn, see what's behind me, and turn back to my initial position without having to lift/drop my mouse a bunch of times. My accuracy suffers for it, though. :|

MagiTek · September 2003

Moving my mouse exactly 1 inch horizontally results in a 360º turn. I use this as a guide for all my games, since different game engines have different speeds for their mouse values. In HL, sens is set to 9.

Ollj · September 2003

at first it was at 6, then at 12, norw its at 20 and i like it.

Stoneburg · September 2003

To make a 360 in NS I have to lift my mouse once. To do it in CS, two times. In CS; aim is the most important, in NS; twitch is a bit more needed.

Zel · September 2003

i like my acceleration settings, if i move the mouse slowly then the screen moves very slowly, but if i move it fast, then it goes faster. so one inch on desktop could be anywhere fom 45 degrees ingame to 360.

this way i can have fast reactions and accuracy.

sk84zer0 · September 2003

i use 6.3

I have my mouse on default in windows, and then maxed out on the scaler in NS. I hate having to lift my hand to turn around. I have about 5 inches of space for my mouse (cluttered desk), and a slide across that turns me about 2 times. It's mainly for space saving. IO don't know though, I'm a really good sniper in firearms, and my sensitivity is the same as in NS. I think it's just personal adjustment.

Decimator · September 2003

I've only had trouble aiming with high sensitivity when I'm trying to use a ball mouse; the things like to skip and stick. My optical mouse on the other hand lets me do 180s in a centimeter and still have excellent aim.
*pets his optical mouse*

fo_sheezy_my_neezy · September 2003

ahh yes, my Logitech optical mouse is my best friend.

Talesin · September 2003

12 in NS, at 1600x1200x32. May have to raise it a bit more in the future, see if that'll help with bouncy Marine 'loss'.

9 in FireArms, just so I can be completely evil with my SSG3000.. though I *still* want my FA2.5 M82 back. You know.. the accurate one. That doesn't completely suck.
