how many centimeters does your mouse cover on the mouse pad, to make a 360° ingame ?

when i disable accel ofc - its like 30 cm/360

that's already a quite low sensi for a game like quake, most use 15-20 iirc

my advice : remove accel (up your sensi a bit if needed), see how you aim
also there may be some useful mouse cvars you could be missing, but I dunno, I don't play ql ; chances are a cool esr user will enlight us about it

also about lg : strafe rather than moving the mouse to keep tracking the target

most top vq3 players use 20-30ish as far as I can tell

HOW TO SET UP MY MX518?
plug it in?

right? all these threads and posts about mice/sens/accel are like gnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

ure using VERY high accel there cos at 1800dpi accel 0.3 i like 1.35@400dpi? which is very bad my friend

seriousy if u want to have great aim dont use accel at all

none of the aimers use accel for a reason

leave your sens as it is at 1 cos its a very good value (4.5@400dpi) and just play

in general set your sens to be between 24-28cm/360

stermy is using this sens and he has an insane lg

toxjq was using it too

if u want an extreme lg start zooming with it like strenx do

7years of quake and u ask this kinda questions btw?

u can also try z4muz way of having very very very low sens and some accel but it has its flaws

mid sens ftw

*3 months

seems like it (btw this is not my first account here).

Almost every single top quake3-quakelive player uses accel. There's no discussion about that.
But that's not what matters really. What it does matter is that accel makes sens feel so much better, and ofc it allows you to use lower sens when you need it (small movements).

OP: the reason why pros tend to lift the mouse a lot is accel actually since you have to do fast movements in order to take advantage from it.

reply to wrong person?

still a pure aimer like strenx managed to rape cooller 30-0 with pure dumbass retarded +fwd

so please now imagine cooller with strenx aim or even rapha with stermys aim

we re talking aim here so your argument is invalid

i find 800dpi to be just fine @500hz, other than that the sens/accel stuff is personal preference i suppose.

Because of your higher dpi you're going to have higher accel than what you think. I would recommend either dramatically lowering your accel, your dpi, or removing accel all together especially since that is what you're used to. Aim will come in time, but for now you need to find something stable that you're comfortable with.

people cant tell you how to aim.
it something you just have to learn.

Win XP

In XP, even with pointer precision disabled, the mouse is still influenced by an acceleration. To completely remove mouse accel from XP, you will need to go into the registry and adjust the SmoothmouseXYCurve values. Just follow these steps:

1. Click Start button
2. Select Run
3. Type 'regedit' in the open textbox
4. Open the tree 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER', select control panel, then select mouse
5. Right click and modify the SmoothMouseXCurve and SmoothMouseYCurve hexadecimal values to the following:

SmoothMouseXCurve:
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
00,a0,00,00,00,00,00,00
00,40,01,00,00,00,00,00
00,80,02,00,00,00,00,00
00,00,05,00,00,00,00,00

SmoothMouseYCurve:
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
66,a6,02,00,00,00,00,00
cd,4c,05,00,00,00,00,00
a0,99,0a,00,00,00,00,00
38,33,15,00,00,00,00,00

Windows 7

A lot of gamers have complained about sensing a lot of accel even after unchecking the Enhance Pointer Precision setting. So here's how to begin in Win 7:

1. Go to Control Panel > Mouse>Right-click>Mouse Settings>Pointer Options and under motion, just un-check the Enhance pointer precision setting.

2. Once that's done, get back to the control panel and select 'Ease of Access' option. This will open your Ease of Access center with 2 blue links underneath.

3. Click on the link that says "Change how your mouse works."

4. In the middle of the page that opens up, there's a link in blue that says "Set up Mouse Keys". Click on the link.

5. You'll now see a screen with 2 sliders. One for Acceleration and one for Top Speed.

6. Play around with that slider and apply the settings you're most comfortable with.

In either case (i.e. any OS), do not forget to poll your MX518 to 500 Hz. There are several software out there that do it for you. Reboot, go in-game and check if it has made any difference :)

I use an MX518 and that's how I set it up.

There are 2 things, one called direct input [ well, not when it's broken like in q3], the other called raw input. Both would have avoided you the pain of typing that stuff
