omg lol? the guys who need >10cm to do a 360 please YouTube it! I want to see if it really looks as if these people are wiping their tables instead of doing a 360 in a video game.
as for me, roundabout 3 cm (sensitivity 22, cl_mouseaccel 0.75, m_jaw 0.03)
Through the past 10+ years I tried both, high values for m_yaw and m_pitch vs high sensitivity and I always felt more comfortable with a higher sensitivity rather than different settings for the X/Y axis. To prefer high or low sens might depend on whether you are an "arm" or a "hand" player. I found it somehow "healthier" to keep my arm on the table and only move my hand.
My initial comment wasn't meant to offend anyone, if so, excuse me!
Didn't he use the exact same settings with his wmo? I'm not sure because I know the Razer suits told him to use his S1gn4tUr3 Deathadder or whatever during exhibition matches and I never found a cfg older than late 08.
Well I wasn't trying to get the numbers exact, merely to give a more reasonable contrast to mew's fairly insane 50-60cm/360
It's difficult to tell the exact cm/360 through a calculation anyways. The reason being that I've found the formula for calculating the sensitivity to be off by a constant multiple for any mouse other than the original 400 dpi MS mice. Probably has something to due with 800 dpi not really being 800 dpi on newer mice. I'm not entirely sure.
Well, let me give you a concrete example of what I mean. With a WMO, I can physically measure a value for cm/360 that's +/- 0.1cm/360 from the calculated value.
With a Deathadder, the same physical measurement vs calculation is about +/- 1cm/360 depending on dpi. It can be worse or better. I won't bother giving an example for the xai since it's known to have its own acceleration issues.
I wasn't intending to say that you were wrong in any way, but merely to point out that I've found deviations from the calculation when dealing with newer mice. That's all.
My old DA had 1700 dpi, not 1800 or w/e it was advertised as. If I used 1700 in the calculation it would come out to exactly the same cm value as the ruler measurement.
For some mice their "dpi" can also depend on the height, if you raise them with custom mousefeet they can track worse/differently. And of course the surface you're using them on (like any mouse thats not compatible with the icemat).
Yeah, that's actually why I mentioned +/-. On hard pads, I'd find that the dpi seemed lower than advertised. On cloth pads, I'd find that it was higher than advertised.
The older wmo/ie3.0/etc. tech did not seem to have as much of a surface dependence as the newer optical sensors. The laser sensors are just all over the place for consistency on different surfaces.
Which facts are you basing this on? Did you ask avek personally?
Because when I look at his game he makes a whole lot of unnecessary moves, in fact he constantly makes very fast moves with his mouse all the time, which players normally don't do with such a low sens without accel.
Also iirc he used sens 3.5 at first with salmosa which *could* suggest he used 800 dpi as with the mx310, but later switched to ~1700 dpi or whatever the highest value of the salmosa is (it's not 1800) and thus used half the sens..
Well, you made me doubt and now that I think of it, you're probably right.
I really had no idea the MX310 could be set to 800 DPI, I always thought it was locked at 400 DPI.
Heh well, your opinion and what noctis said got me thinking too and I reevaluated by watching some youtube videos of him playing, and its funny because suddenly I could see him playing with low sens even when I watched a demo. This might have been one of these cases for me where you only see what you expect to see.
30cm/360 and while I aim with my arm I still do a shitton of little wristflicks to 180 when I'm in my comfort zone. I also have the baaad habit to mass flick a 360 when I drop down on an item.
And I think it looks kinda like Av3k in the vid posted above.
