How sensitive do you have your mouse?

I have mine set to 800 DPI, but I have turned it up to 1600 DPI but my accuracy has dropped. I tried to go back to 800 DPI but now that seems far too slow.

I presume all the pros have it on high sensitivity, so thats why i turned mine up...Hoping for some gaming improvement.

(windows is on max sensitivity)
 
Have polling rate at 1000 and DPI at 4000 use a Razor lachesis mouse. Takes some getting used to but I hate using lower dpi mouses now.
 
I recently bought a mega super dooper Logitech G500 which has a max DPI of 9832749812734982734927497234 or something, adjustable on the fly, etc.

Then realised, that I'm only ever gonna stick with one DPI anyway. Set to 1000 in the settings, and I don't adjust it, just adapt my aiming :)
 
Got a logitech g500, just using generic windows drivers, with the dpi setting button on the mouse pushed to max.
 
You'll probably find that high sense is actually a lot worse. Low sensitivity = you have more control, as small errors in movement don't mean anything. Massive sense means you've got to be superhuman to correct your aim, because any tiny errors in movement get amplified massively.

Everyone I know that used to play CS 1.6 - and were any good - used stupidly low sensitivity. I'm talking like two full swipes of the mousing area to turn around.
 
Have an MX518 so can adjust with the little buttons either sid eof the scroll wheel, most games ill have it at the max though which is 1800 afaik

Also this begs the question which way do you go:

1. High mouse sens, low in-game sens
2. Low mosue sens, high in-game sens

I was always under the impression you were supposed to put the game sens down to minimum/use raw input and set your mouse DPI to what you want.

At OP:

I've played at a variety of sens over the years, from 1000 to 5600. In the last 3 weeks I dropped to 500dpi and after getting use to the arm movements my aim has gotten 100% better. I really think it's worth trying. Back in the day on CoD2 I used to get a k/d spread of 200+ repeatedly, and my Ro2 rifle accuracy stat hovers around 90%. I REALLY wish i'd always gamed at low sense back then now.
 
What's the raw input setting, for example on css? (I assume sensitivity 1?)

I hadn't thought of this, but will look into it now you've said :D
 
mines only 400 dpi iirc.

but through sensitivity settings I have it so 2.3cm sideways movement of the mouse equals a 360 rotation of in game view.
 
uuuuh - not too sure on the DPI, medium/high sensitivity I think on a MS/Razer Habu.

Sensitive enough that I can cover the full screen and not really move my wrist, just my fingers (I am now aware that my grip is 'the claw' )
 
MX518 @ 800dpi/500hz and low game sensitivity. 6th notch in windows and no mouse drivers. Although I used to aim with my arm, a change of desk has proceeded me to use just my wrist now.
