Mouse Sensitivity
Can anyone tell me what the "mouse cursor speed" setting in Windows actually changes to make the cursor move faster. For example, I know that if I have a 1000 DPI mouse, there is no way to make it actually scan faster, its a limit of the hardware in the mouse. So I am assuming that the mouse cursor speed setting is just an acceleration multiplier.
However, what does that actually break down to in terms of numbers? Is one tick 2x, 2 ticks 3x etc. or is it something else? Maybe a percentage of the mouse DPI. +10%, +20% etc.,..
I've tried Googling this but either I'm using the wrong terms or something because I cant seem to find just what I'm looking for.
Attached is a screen snip of the setting I'm referring to.
Up until now I have been happy with my Generic Wired USB Mouse at 1000 DPI and 3-4 ticks on the cursor speed slider. However I just got a new RGB mouse (Coolermaster MM531) with DPI settings from 100 to 12000 DPI and I'm having difficulty finding the right DPI setting for it. I'm either under or over shooting and its making gaming a little more frustrating than it has been/should be.
Any input or advice anyone could offer is appreciated. Thanks.
