What DPI do you game at

[Roeg1]

Just got a 2000dpi microsoft sidewinder, and icemat

Not sure if its just cause im not used to 2000dpi but im finding it very hard to track using the mouse on cod4 using 2000dpi..Ive tried all different mouse sensitivity settings to no avail

Most mouse have on-the-fly sensitivity I have a 2000dpi setting and 800 and 400 setting. I use 800dpi. There is an option in my mouse settings to have mouse acceleration turned off in game. I use acceleration in windows but off for games. If u have a new mouse it might be something simple like thing or the fact that you have not scaled the onscreen movement down enough to cope with 2000dpi if you are set at that all the time.

I think you hit the nail on the head in mouse acceleration.. from my understand mouse acceleration the faster you move the mouse the faster it moves erm thats not explained well erm say if i move my mouse over 2ft at 1mph then try the same thing at 5mph it will probley move more like 5ft.

If thats correct i think thats the problem, so how do i enable for windows only, and not in games.
