1800 or 3500 cpi selectable resolution. :(

If that is the case then this sensor is garbage

brb just need to go and make a shit to give them in reward for their crap sensor

come on guys. dpi is no problem. you can just change the ingame mouse speed.
this sensor could be the best when there is no angle snaping -.-

one commonly used setup at 400 dpi (sens 4/acc 0.1) translates to approx. sens 0.8889 acc 0.00495 at 1800dpi.

let's not even get started with 3600dpi, do you see the issue?

sorry
i didnt get it

hm... some games forbid sens below 1 (namely cs), those players are fucked.

everyone using accel will be super annoyed at trying to find the 'right' value when it's somewhere between 0.004871 and 0.004752... atleast i wouldn't get a mouse with this sensor for that very reason.

one could lower windows sensitivity and customize accel.

... and run into all kinds of problems. windows sens should _really_ be left at the default 6/11.

no problems when using markcs mousefix

you mean this?

But I don't use the middle 6/11 pointer speed setting?

If you want exact 1-to-1 in-game response when the pointer speed slider is not in the 6/11 position, or you have a custom display DPI, see the MarkC Mouse Fix Builder, which works for Windows 7, Vista and XP.
For those older games that turn acceleration on, it gives the same response as position 6/11 does (1-to-1), without having to move the pointer speed slider to 6/11.

yeah, ok :) i cba to do that, just wanted to point out that the move to forcing dpi values of 1800 or greater is a mistake in my eyes. your mileage may vary.

yes i mean this

i just realized you signed up today and every one of your five comments is in this thread about the "new sensor". therefore i will stop arguing with you, it makes little sense as you seem to have a fixed opinion already.

ein schelm wer sich böses denkt... :p

zu spät :D

ein horst eben :P

there is nothing to argue.
the sensor is good !

Run into what problems?

please use the search function, cba :/

0.05% of the players that play cs are aware of that problem.

maybe, for example your config wouldn't be possible in cs :) no m_pitch change and no sens below 1.

well, i have sens 3.5, no yaw/pitch change and accel 0.01 so im actually fine :)

because you are already using 1800dpi? you're well below sens 1 if that is 400 btw. but who cares, it's just something i wouldn't like to have.

I actually dont know :/ I don't know what the default dpi of the mx518 (without any drivers installed!)

It is definitely not 400 dpi.

It's 800 if you don't use the + and - buttons in front and behind the wheel. They switch the dpi between 400,800,1800, and the mouse starts with a 800 default every boot without drivers.

so how high would the sens be with 1800dpi?

Awesome link, haven't seen that before.

very nice :D

I thought you knew that already, maybe this post is useless but : DPI and sensitivity are proportional. So it would be about twice as fast (eg you would need to divide your sensitivity by 800/1800 to get the same sensitivity).
But I wouldn't do that, maybe it's a placebo but 2 different DPI with the same adjusted sensitivity (same rotation / distance) don't feel equivalent, and I prefer the low DPI feeling.

The info I got about this sensor is that you can use it with IR instead of LED and change angle snapping on/off, configure liftoff distance and a new way to update the firmware.

wow
u know a mouse that will have this sensor ?

whats so special about this sensor?

Nothing.

i wonder why ppl always think that higher dpi equals better aim ..

It's imho what the casual fanboy gamer thinks when he hears pros playing with 3 trillion dpi.

ah so when i go and buy one of those pro gaming devices i don't get better just because i bought it? :D

Worthless. (too tired to write proper argument.)

Another potentially good thing ruined by stupid shit... this happens ALL the time... :(

what is ruined by stupid shit ?

I think others would appreciate it if you bothered to explain why...

any mouse announced that will have this sensor ?

bump

I have to post in this thread!

why is this so hyped here, i wouldnt want the mouse with 1800dpi minimum

If I switched to 120hz lcd, then I'd be getting 120hz at 1680x1050 I'd get a mouse that uses this. Right now I use 400dpi, and 800x600 @ 120hz, so this IME 3.0 @ 500hz is fine.
Assuming the mouse that gets this is comparatively ergonomic for my hand shape/size to my current mouse.
