mx518 & setpoint.

Yo, Baught the mx518 around two months ago. Been working perfectly no problems untill last week.

All of a sudden I started getting the USB sound(when You plug in/remove a usb) Then my dpi settings would go to default(400 dpi). I tried updating motherboard drivers. Tried different usb slots etc but still had same problem. So I went back onto default CD motherboard drivers and I dont get the usb remove/add noise no more.

Yet when Im in game desktop anywhere. At random times my mouse will decide to reset to default on its own. And change me dpi from me preffered 500, down to 400 and I have to keep minimizing in game and re inputting 500.

Anyone else had this problem or know a fix?
Mouse works fine without setpoint, but I didnt know any way to set 500 dpi

Parent
baught one too
setpoint sucks, don't use it :p
any other way to get 500 dpi without it?
Parent
the buttons on the mouse should work without setpoint, have you tried using them? (the + and - ones)
Parent
Yeah without setpoint they work. it goes like 400/800 then w.e

I have scrolled through them but still couldnt get my prefered 500 dpi.
Parent
haha. More placebo effect

400 and 500 is so so small difference that normal human beings dont notice it.
Parent
what is dpi exactly?
Parent
dots per inch ?
Parent
can you turn that into human language?
Parent
Dot per inch
edit: human language selected: english
Parent
...HOW DOES THAT SHIT WORKS!!
Parent
dunno, google
Parent
lol u told u use 1600 dpi... was it true? :P
Parent
i use 1600 cpi :DD
Parent
Not really :D

or basically if you move your mouse 5 cm it is more sensitive and checks more space ( dots per inche ) . Regular mouse for example registers with regular dpi like 100 dots per that 5cm then higher dpi makes it register more:D

Hope it was clear enough. but i really dont know about those things. I just used to have 400 dpi.
Parent
okey, i was just wondering because i was thinking about changing mx518 because of shit dpi
Parent
I dont really get that mouse whine.

Like most of the ET players and aimers say, just get a sens and then practice with it. Those DPI-s and Hz arent gonna make you highskilled ET player over night.
Parent
400 is actually good value for ET. Higher ones give u neg accel which u can negate with some other progs ofc but its not really worth of changing mouse. though never underrestimate placebo effect...
Parent
you cant make use of high dpi in ET unless you can live with negative side effects like walle explained. I'm using a mx518 and put the dpi down to 400 for a reason. It is so much smoother
Parent
You can tell when you go into et and its slower...
Parent
It's more in your head dude :D:D

Then lower your sens by 0.1 or 0.2 and it is fine.

Sens doesnt determine how good you are. You just need to play 2-3 wars and it's all the same.
Parent
well I want same settings as i have now. Thats what I like and want. I can notice the difference when Playing I could just higher et sense but I was trying to avoid messing with my sense again and want to keep what I have

Sure you can notice :D::D:D
Parent
haha wtf dude. Whats that got to do with sensitivity?
Parent
there's no difference in sens for noobs. Use what ever you want
Parent
am not starting a fag flame war over here cu in game one time. Just cuz im member 1 and a half years doesnt mean im a noob btw. stop being a retard I asked to fix a problem not to start a nerd crossfire fag argument.

thanks for help
Parent
You got the help.

But you started acting retardedly and like a noob who really doesnt know shit does.

400 and 500 dpi's is no difference. adjusting the sens by 0.1 or 0.2 wont mess up anything.
Parent
400/500 dpi does make a difference... They are different dpi. 500 is higher than 400 so your telling me it doesnt make a difference?

Course there different. And I can tell there different You the one who acted a retard trying to point shit out. you said there was no difference. when technically there is... 500 runs 100 more dots per inch than 400. So yeah there is a difference thanks.

Wont reply no more ty
Parent
No point in trying to make sense for a idiot.

Just stay as retarded as you are.
Parent
thanks infect high skilled player from 2009 :)
Parent
2008* and not high :D:D
Parent
dno i just checked games tv 2009 last game So I just guessed. :D
Parent
you are correct sir actually :D
Parent
im right about something yay. =D
Parent
you are who's being an idiot... off course it makes difference... and noticeable... unless you're completelly aimless... ...even 400 to 450 you can feel a very little difference
Parent
play with 400 dpi and do sens * 1,25
it should be the same

but u probably have a new version with 450 / 900 / 1800 default dpi settings
so it should be sens * 1 1/9 if you want the same sens as with 500 dpi

worked for me when i switched from old to new mx518
Parent
yeah I highered my sensitivity ingame now by like 0.40 got close enough.
Parent
had a predator with 400 dpi and played with 5 sens

switched to mx518 on 800 dpi and playing with 2.5 sens

there is no difference. he has a point.
Also, get rid of setpoint, it doesn't help. go into tutorials on crossfire, there is a way to modify deathadder drivers to work with the mx
Parent
same but i got 400 dpi and dpi(? or sens, i dunno ) decreased

go ask @ logitech support, they will give you another one :)

my 2nd free mx518 is coming tomorrow hehe
just contacted, problem is I didnt buy this officialy from a store. I got it from ebay. Dont know if it will make a difference.
Parent
if u have the "facture" / paper from where he bought, its okay :)

( u know the ticket paper when you buy smth @ market )
proof enough

or maybe just try it, the first time they didnt ask me the ticket as proof o:
Parent
replace the cable
more like shitpoint
don't use setpoint, its useless.
#1 never install setpoint
#2 sounds like the way all mx518s die, broken cable
Oh so you baught it, yes.
/q me if you need help 'bout that.
yeh i payed off ebay from greece lmao...
Parent
You didn't get my point, did you? :P
Parent

400 dpi and 500 dpi just 100 dpi diff, as obv, so u should just increase ur sens max 0.2 - 0.3
3200 dpi for the win :D
Could be either two things,setpoint is crashing,so maybe re-install again,or the "+" and "-" is still on the default bind to increase sensitivity,best thing to do is assign "+" & "-" as a keystroke in setpoint,then set these keystrokes as a bind in your cfg,as something usefull like knofe,reload etc.Or you can also set all the profiles in setpoint to 400,and you dont have to bother with the "+" & "-" buttons
I had the same. No fix for that, at least I didn't find one.
the cable is broken
