I am having immense troubles setting up my mouse to run Dust.

What I want is a consistent aiming experience.

When I move my mouse 20cm I want it to equate turning 360-¦ in-game. (Regardless of how quickly I move the mouse, i.e. no acceleration.)

I am running into the following problems:

* Uneven, unsmooth, jerky, and laggy feel. (The mouse works perfectly on computers running Windows, MacOSX, Various Linux distributions.)
* The mouse smoothing option creates a huge input delay which makes it a "non-option".
* Inconsistent aiming depending on map, Gal Lab especially. (FPS problems?)
* Inconsistent aiming between different weapons.
* Inconsistent aiming between different weapons and weapon variants while using Aim-Down-Sight.
* Pixel skipping, more noticeable with weapons that have more "zoom".

I am currently running these settings:
PS3: unchanged (default)
Dust: unchanged (default, 60 / 60 I think)
Mouse DPI: 270 // 360 GÇö (Available range: 90 through 5700)
Mouse Polling Rate: 125Hz GÇö (Available range: 125Hz through 1000Hz)

Any and all help and / or suggestions are welcomed bar suggestions related to using a GIMX / Eagle Eye / XIM / etc.

Dont use eagle eye device just plug mnk into ps3 you should have no issues, and the issue your having using the eagle eye device is probably the turbo function is activated on one or more buttons.

I have tried wired and wireless ones, multiple different brands, cheap to not so cheap. Doesn't really seem to matter, except I have to re-adjust both sensitivity settings each time. Mouse smoothing definitely slows it down, re-adjusting sens's helps when you enable smoothing. AimAssist - don't think it really does anything - positive that is.

I am playing with the mouse plugged directly into the PS3. (I do not have an Eagle Eye or XIM.) I left the in-game sensitivity settings at default because lower in-game sensitivity settings comes with a lot of negative acceleration. High in-game settings makes it impossible to do "fine aiming". High mouse polling rate seems to make the in-game movements uneven, unsmooth, jerky, and jittery. (When on a computer it allows for A LOT better aiming.) Low mouse polling rate seems to be better for Dust. Which only leaves DPI as the setting to influence how much 20cm of mouse movement is translated to in-game degrees turn. ... This still leaves a lot to be wanted. Most notably is that there is a huge minimum turn, very noticeable when (trying) to use a sniper rifle. Regardless of PS3 settings, Dust sensitivity settings, Mouse polling rate, and Mouse DPI there simply is no way of getting rid of pixel skipping. Even at the least sensitive settings the minimum turn (aim) movement you can do in-game is a huge skip, making it entirely luck based to use a sniper rifle at ~350+m. The reason being that there are angles that you simply cannot aim at, which leaves you with the option of trying to hit enemies when they pass over your crosshair or strafing a bit to see if the game will now allow you to aim where you want to. If you have ever played an old game which only allowed these movements \ \| / - . - / \| \ then you know the feeling that the game simply will not allow you aim where you want to.

I do run at lower DPI than you do so the hipfire comes out similar while my ADS is slightly quicker. I use 60 / 60 because it "feels" more like using a mouse on the computer. With lower in-game settings I get negative acceleration when doing quick mouse movements which is something I thoroughly dislike. These days I mostly run with the RR, CR, NKs, and the aSMG. I hardly ever use Shotguns or Sniper Rifles any more because they simply do not work well with Dusts mouse support. I do have ARs specced as well but between HMGs, CRs and RRs they just feel like a poor choice. I will try out the TAR again once hotfix Delta comes along.

With mouse acceleration, the movement is based on speed. Meaning, if you move the mouse 1 inch, slowly, it'll move one distance. If you move it still 1 inch, but fast, it'll move a lot farther. Meaning, every time you move your mouse to aim, you'll have to move it differently to do the same movement, making it hard to aim. ================== I right understand the term "acceleration" in the context of your post?

Yupp that is it. Though I guess the term "negative-acceleration" isn't entirely accurate in this case, but anyhow this is how it goes for me. In Dust with low in-game sensitivity a slow mouse movement turns you more than a quick mouse movement of the same distance. I use the in-game sensitvity of 60 / 60 because it "feels" like there is less of that going on than with lower sensitivity settings.

I saw this bug. If u wana kill him, u can: 1. Check u ingame mouse smooth option OFF again, if not help: 2. Delete Dust game saved files/settings from PS3 menu, if not help: 3. Delete Dust game saved files/settings again, reinstall Dust. Ingame mouse speed settings works incorrect, as multipler, native mouse DPI is much better. lower value ingame mouse speed set give u more accuracy. Please support fair play!

Looking at what you've posted you are probably already getting the best possible experience. Unfortunately, there is no magic setting. There is no sweet spot and no combination of variables that will give you a rock-solid KB/M experience. Mouse support is bad and will remain bad for the foreseeable future.

As I hardly think my set up is even decent I wouldn't advise against it though... since the Eagle Eye and XIM emulate a controller you get to play with "aim assistance" turned on, plus you can probably set turbo buttons as well, it still won't feel like you are playing with a mouse though.

Console subhumans will tell you it's inconsequential but don't let their feeble Jedi mind tricks fool you. I don't enjoy using a controller for pew pew games, but I find it much easier to land shots using a controller with aim assistance on than using a mouse with its current handicap. The only thing you should be able to do better with a mouse at this point is snipe. Anyways, Dust is pshhh I'm waiting (probably forever) for Legion.

Also ever since Chromosome ended, you will never get good fluid mouse aiming with DUST. You just have to live with it as it is until we get Legion. Oh and just my personal preferences but - 100% sensitivity for general aiming, ad I think I run 75%-80% for Aiming down sights. Its not perfect by any means but its the best I managed to get with Dusts PS3 limitations. I'm surprised there are so many KB/M players.

If I want to cook a grenade I can only move in one direction or I am stuck unable to move while holding the grenade button. So basically grenades are totally off the table for me which sucks. Anyone have any ideas if we can remap the grenade button or if there are ways to make my keyboard be able to use WASD keys as well as G for the grenades?

While it is true that mouse works better in Dust with a low polling rate the PS3 USB driver accepts polling rates up to 1000Hz, and the PS3 controllers register as such. (They only actually send data at 100Hz though, which is really weird.)

Many CPM members are being extremely helpful in regard to trying to improve mouse support in Dust. While an improvement might not happen right away (or at all), at least now the CPM is engaging CCP about mouse support in Dust. Btw this is not to deter anyone from providing more feedback, quite the opposite as you now know that it is being looked into! Being concise and focused in your feedback seems to help if you actually want anyone else to bare reading through it! (Shout out to IWS for taking the time to further look into this!
