    Hi lads, stupid question but one i cant seem to figure out.
    When I play games I always set the sensitivity quite low in game so that I can aim better, personal preference.
    I recently bought a Razer DeathAdder and it is working beautifully except for one issue.
    I can set the speed to work very nice in game for me but the mouse speed on the menu of the game (when I press Esc) is ridiculously slow, which setting is this?

    Many thanks lads!

    Windows.

    But seriously I'm not sure, Bioshock is a prime offender in my experience, and I have an MX510.

    I've had this problem before; it is usually due to the game's FPS slowing down badly with certain menus or windows being open (astleast in my experience).

    Probably nothing you can really do about it :(

    Infact, I am having this problem with Bioshock as it happens...
    I dont think it has anything to do with the FPS because I am using Fraps and the difference in fps between the in game menu and the game itself is negligible.

    Yeah that happens with me in GTA IV.. Usually in game the mouse is fine but in the menu its drastically slow, I lowered my settings and resolution seemed to fix it for me or at least make it better.

    You can control every thing with the keyboard in GTA why using mouse in the menu?
