logitech g9x bug with games?

jewii · 24 Jan 2011 at 11:57

i use logitech drivers and running at 5200 dpi on low sensitivity but when i go in game it feels like it's at 5200 dpi with normal sensitivity, well forget that, it is at 5200 dpi, the mouse goes voom with a slighest nudge.

what can i do to stop this?

Surely you should turn down the dpi?

What do you mean low sensitivity? The mouse speed in Windows settings? You don't want to change that from 6/11, you'll skip pixels otherwise.

Lower the dpi, 5200 is a ridiculous amount. I don't know how you could have any sort of precision with that dpi.

no, logitech drivers have sensitivity option. you turn down sensitivity and increase dpi, mean't to be more accurate. surely thats the only reason why people would use high dpi unless they're have giant resolutions? i.e 5000^2 pixels? the mouse isn't fast or slow in windows but for some reaosn when i go in game, the mouse is REALLY fast.

EDIT: yes the logitech drivers interface changes the sensitive but just alters the sensitivty from windows mouse sensitivity in control panel.

EDIT again: well i guess i've answered my question, the game cursor is so fast because the sensitivity is set from the game not from windows so thus, you'll running from 5200 DPI on games sensitvity.

No, higher dpi doesn't equal better precision. That's marketing crap made up by Razer. In fact, their best mouse the Deathadder performs best at 1800 dpi in benchmarks, even though it can do 3500 dpi.

ha thanks, i should have checked up on what my friend said was true. i didn't buy the mouse for the dpi so thats cool, i got it to replace my deathadder and it's still a good pruchase.

cheers mate, i will happily return to normal dpi range

I still use 800dpi on my mouse. No need for more...

so just to get this straight. in the middle of the sensitivity. is that the ratio for 1:1 from the pixel movement from mouse to the actually movement on screen?

Your windows sensitivity wants to be on the 6th mark.

And ideally you want to turn off mouse acceleration in the Logitech software.

Swifty55 · 24 Jan 2011 at 18:20

Ideally, you don't want Setpoint installed at all.

jewii · 24 Jan 2011 at 18:27

yeah, first thing i did was to turn off acceleration. thanks swif, did a lil research. yup 6/11 presuming starting @ 1 = 1:1 but in logitech it's 5 as it starts from 0.
