    Hello,

    Just a random question ? How sensitive is your mouse ? And why ?
    I have two screens at both 1280x1024. It takes only 3cm to move from the left side of the first screen to the right side of the other. I just don't like it when I have to move my arm so much and continuously lifting the mouse :)

    How about you ?

    I have my Razer maxed out. 1680 x 1050 screen... but I can't give an accurate distance since in OS X the speed at which you move also effects the distance... but I'm going to say about 1cm from 1 side to the other. Took getting used to but I prefer having a fast mouse.

    I use my Logitech G5 at 2000dpi with all mouse acceleration turned off and the sensitivity set to the Windows native "6" setting, all other settings, slower and faster automatically use some form of mouse acceleration which is bad for precision clicking!

    Mine's a Logitech G5 at 2000dpi although I do use 800 dpi for things like image editing.

    similar settings with usapatriot... 1920x1200 resolution with logitech G5 at mid settings (default) with default settings.

    i sometimes switch it to max sensitivity... i change it frequently during FPS gaming.. usually stick with the max preset; 1/3 of the time.

    btw, damn! your sig almost make me slap my screen! that thing is hypnotic!

    1600 dpi Razer Diamondback - Windows XP ''4'' setting - 9/10 sensitivity of the mouse (from drivers). I have only got a XGA screen :p Also, no acceleration.
