Something that's ALWAYS annoyed me about FPSs is a seemingly poor mouse accuracy, making aiming feel sluggish.
The best way to explain it is thus:
In a game, say BFBC2, the smallest registrable movement of the cross hair is more than one pixel; I think it's about 3 or 4. So while sniping from a distance, trying to line up on someone's head is nearly impossible. If the crosshair is too far left, making the smallest movement possible to the right moves the pointer too far and I'm on the right side of my target.
On my desktop the smallest possible movement I can make is one pixel. But in games it's 3 or 4. This gives the impression of a poor frame rate almost, and aiming generally feels awful.
Would a higher DPI mouse fix this problem? How does mouse/pixel accuracy work?
