Just got a new mouse !help

by SjMX • 13 Oct 2010, 10:27 • Forums › Enemy Territory
Just bought a razer deathadder 3500dpi and I have no idea about which settings I should use or the best ones for ET.

If anyone owns one or knows the best settings possible for it then please let me know :D

dpi?
polling rate?

i got the older deathadder.
use whatever suits you my settings are.

polling rate 500Hz,
Dpi Switcher 1800 dpi
then sensitivity is 5

ingame sens 2.0

thats how i play anyway pretty high senser, but its best using whatever settings suits you not others.

So it won't make a difference which dpi i use and what exactly is polling rate ? I used 2.0 with my old mouse but it was a really cheap thing this is the first decent mouse I have ever had and I have no idea about them :D

I just see people talking about dpi saying some are better than others for ET

best settings for DA ? Just test yourselfe.

I used 450 dpi, 500 hz (used 1000 hz, with 500 hz + 5% to acc :P ), windows sensitivity 6, untouched drivers sensitivity, and X & Y. Played few weeks totally without Razer drivers, and thats best way to play imo - but you should check yourselfe. Buy some decent mouse pad at least. But im lowsens player - something like 70cm/360 - yes, 70.

lower your dpi - 800 is enough forquake3 engine (imo even too much).
1800 means lack of mouseaccel. - but some peoples like mouseaccel; for example butchji.

What do you mean? I thought if you go over 1000 dpi you will get mouseaccel. Can you explain further?

trying to get used to 500hz 1800dpi sense 5 and sense 2 in ET suck hard with it but closest to before lol

awesome pick!!! I go tthe 3500dpi deathadder as well ^.^!

Use 3500dpi, use 1000hz response time and leave your windows sensitivity to normal.

Then go ingame and get your perfect ingame sensitivity using RaZiel's (=> own3d.tv) tutorial, and start raping =D

lots of people on vent recommended it I liked it cause it's quite simple aka not 10 buttons on the side etc lol

But for years on this game I have used a £2 logitech office mouse so going to take a while to get used to this lol. Everyone tells me settings that are so much different option wise lol

I suggest getting a better mouse pad as well... helps a lot

1000Hz, 800dpi, 2sens
Or 400dpi 4sens

ET might give you negative acceleration on too high dpis without Rinput. h8m3 is a mouse nerd, ask him!

Don't use it over 1600dpi and use the highest rate the mouse can pull off
▼
Levin 13 Oct 2010, 15:26
