So when your nephew builds his first PC (I did point him towards using the PC case standoffs!) he is playing Fortnite but on Windows his fancy Logitech mouse wireless works fine with 800dpi

But in game is is pants - very slow, low sensitivity - we googled - used about 10% sensitivity - tinkered

Windows Game mode on

I have asked him to reinstall the mouse software - and the game - any Pro tips would be welcome - I have never played Fortnite so I know nothing - explain like I am 10.

I am setting 800dpi in the Logitech software on Desktop and I am trying to get x4 sensitivity to take that to 3200dpi in game.
So far it is fine on the desktop but dead slow in Fortnite.

It is the same with a Razor wired mouse.

I assumed it was a fault with the Logitech g pro superlight - but if the Razor is the same this suggests it is ok.

He has windows Gamemode on.

The NVIDEA game experience overlay - which I don't personally use - could it be a setting for this.

Any Pro pointers welcome.

I know it is not much use, but I use the same setup and have no issue. I don't use Windows game mode and can't see the NVIDIA overlay making and odds... Try turning everything off and starting from there.
 
It's probably as others said above, but opposite.

- Windows has mouse accel on by default
- Fortnite might have mouse accel forced off by default

Years ago, you used to have to add cmds on startup to force it off :)

PS. I don't play Fortnite, just a theory - so happy to be told otherwise.
 
I'm coming out of the closet as playing Fortnite; I play with these system settings (that's 3500 DPI in Logitech' software) alongside a 21% X axis and 19.5% Y axis sensitivity in-game:

Wouldn't recommend enhancing pointer precision per se, but it's what I'm used to and have muscle memory with.
 
put a high dpi on say 3000 then lower the in game to match what you want slowly lowering it till you get the sweet spot hard to pick the exact place some people live to sweep the whole pad

this is the basic theory for all shooters first or 3rd person

800 dpi is really low for most games when you first load them but will make no difference once you raise it in the settings when I used to play competitive counterstrike 800 dpi was near state of the art technology ahh my classic mx300 the memories

Hi thanks for posting. I am grateful and I have an update.

The young master had downloaded malware! Looking on task manager his PC resources were running constantly - fans were going - he has a fancy pants illuminated water cooler was whirring away- he was asked not to open .exe files without checking they were legit - but decided to add lively wallpapers and some dodgy software downloads on a new build PC.

Removing this - and reinstalling the terrible Logitech software that came with his paperweight lightspeed mouse sorted it out.
