the same you had with your last mouse?
450dpi/windows sens 6/ ingame sens 2.8 / 500 or 1000hz
1800dpi, 500Mhz, lowered windows sens a bit, etsens between 1 & 2

some play with 450, others with 900dpi

some just plug and play dunno what's best
500 mhz is maybe a lil bit too much!
Parent
You mean Hz, and not.
Parent
I've 500hz myself but he said 500Mhz... :)
Parent
Sure he mixed Hz with MHz!
Parent
500hz/ 450dpi/ winsens 5/ ET3
Plug and play
not with Razer deathadder

Plug and don't work

get Logitech
lol :D
I like my razer mice more :<
Parent
First time I pluged it in it worked, but after testing it at other pc it don't. :/
Parent
900 dpi, 1000hz, 5 win sens, custom x/y sens, win pointer speed 4/5, 1.6-1.9 et sens
get a g5 ~~
P&P with any mouse, settings sucks anyway! :-)
900dpi, leave the rest, 1.1 sens = best
Both me and chizz6l use it
1800dpi 1000hz 3/11 winsens ingame sens 1.758
1800 dpi 500hz/1000hz winsens 3/11 ETsens whatever you want

the mouse will only work at top performance if you use 1800dpi, just do some testing with 400dpi and do some fast flicks with low ingame sens. The skipping will stop once you use high dpi.

Use windows sens to lower the dpi, 1800cpi * 3/10 = +/- 600 dpi

(cpi = counts per inch, if the box of your mouse sais its 1800dpi, this mean the mouse does 1800 counts per inch, using default win sens (*10/10) will give you a movement of 1800 dots per inch of movement. Using 3/11 will give make your 1800cpi turn into 600dpi, which shouldnt give any problems with the quake engine and its dislike for high dpi)
Do your homework overdrive! That's just a bug in the first firmware version that you're explaining here.. It has been fixed in firmware version 1.10 :-)

Since v1.10 450/900dpi modes have no skipping or accel at all.. can't say the same about accel with 1800 dpi. Another immortant thing in firmware (v1.05) is the updated liftoff-distance, if you didnt update your firmware yet.
Parent
i used deathadder with latest firmware and it skips like hell when i put it to low sens :)
the liftoffdistance is a bitch indeed, i fixed that by putting on some extra glids.

might check it out later :)
Parent
doesnt really skip here. Are u using a cloth mousepad? Cuz for me it only skips on slick surfaces (non-cloth :p). Isnt 1800dpi asking for negativ accel btw?
Parent
cloth, but recently switched to glass but the DA didnt track at all on it. Switched back to diamondback :)
Parent
dinput buffers your input hence slows the mouse reaction time
Parent
set buffer to 0 then?
Parent
Default windows sens (6th notch out of 11) results in 10 MouseSensitivity in the registry (the maximum being 20 at the 11th notch).
Parent
6/11 = 10 = 1 to 1 ratio
Parent
my epic settings:

r_mode 6
r_displayrefresh 75
com_maxfps 76
cg_fov 98
m_pitch 0.016
sensitivity 0.755

1800 dpi
DInput -> instawin
no drivers
500hz
Mystic's DA settings are the best!
i think u just need to put ur own sens of x and y axis. it make hs obviously !
use the search function, 1000000000nd's of people asked the same before. But the best thing is to test the settings urself and just play with the settings YOU like and not some settings from a "highskilled" ET-player.

highskilled in ET =/= highskilled in settings
just plug your mouse in and play
