Gauging interest - Software to find your perfect mouse sensetivity

[Linkex]

I can see how sensitivity affects accuracy, but high accuracy isn't achieved from shooting static targets.

Agreed, thats why the targets move Bear in mind its trying to judge your ability to track a target moving in variable speed and direction, and which sensitivity allows you to do that the best.

LGS already does that, but you still have to experiment with dpi and in game sensitivity until you find what suits you. But once you do it saves it to the game profile and loads your dpi setting, macros, button assignments etc when you load the game.

edit - Also how does your solution differ from this?

LGS lets you change your settings (As do many mouse applications) with a great degree of accuracy - but but its still up to the user to determine what those settings should be.

I fully accept that its my **** poor describing skills at work here, but people do not seem to be grasping what the app actually does. I'll try another way of explaining it.

Imagine you load up counter strike (Or any FPS game) and join a server with your friend. Your friend proceeds to run around, duck behind cover and generally try and make themselves difficult to hit for 1 minute. Your job is to keep your cross-hair on their face as best you can. You then make a note of how much of that minute your cross-hair was on their head (Estimated). You then adjust your sensitivity up or down a bit and do it again. If you kept your cross-hair on their head for more of the minute, then you again change the sensitivity in the same direction. If you were worse, you change it the other way. You keep repeating until you find the sensitivity you get the best "Cross hair on face" time with. This is then your best sensitivity. You make a note of this and use the same sensitivity in all FPS games. You do this by measuring with a ruler how far you move the mouse to turn 360 - you then use this measurement to set the sensitivity of your other games.

The only difference between this and my app are:
You use my game rather than counter-strike or whatever
Rather than a friends head, you have an AI target trying not to get hit
You don't have to estimate how accurate you are being, the game records it for you
You don't have to stop and adjust your sensitivity every minute - the game does it automatically.
(Maybe) You can export sensitivity settings to your games directly, rather than having to use a ruler to measure your mouse movement.

Hope that makes more sense - but let me know if anything is still unclear. Like I say, I think a video explanation would be better, will look at making one if I do go for greenlight.

I'd pay a couple of quid for that ^

Don't take offence to this, but it sounds like a load of baloney.

No-one has an "ideal" sensitivity, it is completely subjective and compliments the play style of each individual. And saying they should use the same sensitivity for every game is absolute madness. If someone were to use my sensitivity from Counter-Strike in something a lot more twitch-based, say Unreal Tournament, then they wouldn't even turn around a corner let alone trace someone.

By all means, play around with sensitivity - I used to spend a lot more time than I care to remember "tweaking" my sensitivity when I used to play in leagues - but you are always going to do / be better by sticking with a sensitivity and seeing if you get on with it. If it doesn't feel natural, adjust, and repeat.

This isn't something one should have to expect to pay for, and from my grasping of your descriptions, it won't save any time either...

Just my two cents though...

I don't think you understand the program

No offence taken, I asked for opinions, can't expect them to all be what I want to hear Appreciate the input

Would like this and would use it
