In the normal 32-bit windows the 6th notch is also the default and optimal setting. You can clearly see the differences between these settings in my screenshots (Windows 圆4):
This may take some getting used to but it's worth it, you need to live with it if you do not want your per pixel targeting or sane mouse response compromised. This is probably even worse than raising it, so KEEP THIS ON DEFAULT!! The default setting is the 6th notch in the middle and it wont interpolate or filter your mouse inputs, so you get the dpi your mouse is advertised. On the other hand, if you reduce the pointer speed setting, even by one notch, you get two different mouse sensitivities and your cursor will move, slowly to the right, and faster to the left. This is not the same as the normal stair steps on the edges of non antialiased graphics. This is not normal aliasing if you have the wrong settings in mouse properties it will make easily visible notches, not jaggies, it will look like teeth from a saw blade or something else bad. If you open up MS Paint, use the pencil tool, swing the mouse around to make circle patterns and notice how terribly notchy the edges are. Lowering the setting here, throws away dpi from the mouse forcing you to use a use a higher, less precise sensitivity in-game.Īt the highest setting, the cursor goes two pixels for each count.
Losing pixel accuracy is not worth it when sensitivity is adjustable in-game. Increasing the pointer speed even one notch, will make your cursor skip pixels. The reason is that changing a setting here can in no way make up for the dpi (resolution in counts per inch) a mouse has or doesn't have. Windows has a slider for setting pointer speed, but that doesn't mean gamers should use it. When I see people list their mouse settings, many players are putting themselves at a big disadvantage. You can remove it, BUT ONLY AFTER you have given it an honest effort for like a week, It is completely worth it to adapt to playing without accelleration, so stick with it and you will slowly notice the improvement. Remember if you have used Mouse Acceleration for sometime, and have gotten used to it, this is one of the hardest settings changes to get used to. All it does is change two lines in your system registry to completely stop all mouse acceleration. reg file and say yes to anything that comes up. To use the CPL mousefix simply unzip the folder and click on the.

The easiest way to make sure any variable mouse sensitivity is disabled is to uninstall your mouse driver from the 'Add or Remove Programs' part of control panel, afterwards in mouse properties uncheck 'Enhance Pointer Precision'.Īfter doing this, some residual acceleration may remain, as Windows gives no way to completely eliminate all cursor acceleration from the control panel. This uncertainty in mouse response inevitably limits everyone's potential. For example, you might move the mouse 6 inches to turn 180 degrees, then you move the mouse 6 inches another time, and depending on how fast you move the mouse you might turn 100 degrees, you might turn 270. With acceleration on, you will not be able to play consistently. It is absolutely vital to disable all mouse acceleration when playing Counter-Strike. And I apologize for not getting the second chapter out sooner, but as you will see the added effort I put into it was extremely worth it.ġ.3 - Adjust driver specific control panels.ġ.5 - DPI related to in-game sensitivity.ġ.9 - Pros & Cons for installing mouse drivers.Ģ.3 - Remove extra weight from MX500/MX510.Ģ.8 - Quick mouse sensitivity switch binding. Last but not least, make a system restore point so you have a way to restore your computer back to previous settings if any tweak causes trouble. Just stick with it for a few days and practice in CSSDM to see if you improve. Now about the tweaking, whenever you make a major change (such as turning off acceleration for the first time) you will probably play worse before adjusting to it. I also know an engineer who works for Logitech and have learned a lot from him as well. I consider myself an expert in this subject, as my college major is electrical engineering. Most of the it however, is proven knowledge about the way to tweak a mouse and optimize it's settings.
Some of this guide is my personal opinion about things, but I will say so if it is. Although this is specifically for CS:S many of the tips may be useful for all FPS games.

I have created this guide to give comprehensive information on about how to make whatever mouse you currently have, provide the best response, control and smoothness in Counter-Strike: Source. There seems to be a fair amount of misunderstanding about mouse related concepts like resolution, in game sensitivity, acceleration, USB report rates, Windows settings, etcetera. I did not make this!!! All i want to do is share so please dont flame me!
