I've been ridiculously high sensitivity for most of my gaming years and never really got enough consistency to even be locally competitive at FPS's. I just don't think the human brain can get to a worldclass level when you can turn 3 360's across an 8 inch mousepad. Or at least I can't. I'm ordering one of the super large pads and had a few questions.

1. I've heard here and there that around a 24 cm 360 is what a lot of the pro players use. I know it varies some but is that generally correct?

2. With such a low sens in a fast game like quake live, do most of the good players use scripts for turning and/or rocket jumping? I played unreal 2k4 with a pro at a lan and he used a script for turning 180's but I don't know if that's the norm or not.

3. Lastly, It's my understanding that mouse_mode 2 in quake live is all I need to do to eliminate mouse acceleration is this correct?

Thanks and any other tips about hardware or game play that I might have overlooked would be greatly appreciated.
