Mouse DPI?



The hit detection is still botched, son.

The only difference is that they removed the false blue shield flash effect so you think you're getting more legit kills now.

actually, what is a deadzone?

Thanks for explaining Rei, so ideally there should be no deadzone for mouse...

the input lag is driving me nuts

Your Brain at this point climbs out of your skull and beats you to death with said controller.

Best explanation I've heard yet.

You should consider teaching college.

Ungh...lemme try to answer that one...

A deadzone is supposedly the point where the stick doesn't do anything, the bigger the deadzone the more you can yoink on the stick before it does something, lets say you yank on the stick to the left and you have a huge deadzone setting for left movement this will give you a notion of input lag because you moved to the left but it takes the controller a certain time to get out of its deadzone and start moving.

While this behavior is fine for platformers, it screws a shooter over royaly.

If the Analog stick has say 5 diffrent deadzones and they are all bogusly configured, you will get 5 diffrent input lag zones, or really odd behaviour because your brain says Left and up, your hand says left and up but the game does not go left until you get out the sticks deadzone, when you do get out of the deadzone you start to move left, now imagin the go UP deadzone is wrong and off from the go left zone, you are still going left but not yet up until you get out of that UP deadzone once you get out of that one, you will start going left and up.

You imagined or your brain predicted a straight line but on the screen you got more of a circular pattern.

Your Brain at this point climbs out of your skull and beats you to death with said controller.


A Mouse registers movement without deadzones, and when you move it moves, without waiting inside some cozy deadzone for accidentally touching the mouse, if you shake it, it shakes, if you accidently move it, your aim is off.

with the deadzone, we move the mouse a little JUST A LITTLE to adjust our aim but we moved it inside its deadzone and it translates as no movement on the screen, our brain reacts with additional movement to compensate and we fly right passed out target, we re-adjust back to target but again move too little and we don't move at all, so brain again thinks we need more movement and we fly passed target again.

Basically, what we have as input lag, are the deadzones creating a couple of ms of what we precieve as input lag, the bigger the zones, the bigger the percieved input lag or funky odd mouse behaviour if they run our mouses trough virtual control sticks.

Some people notice this behavior, while other peoples brains can fill in gaps much better.

I am not really sure how this translates to diffrent DPI mouse types, but on the eagle controller if you input a higher DPI or a lower DPI, you have to reconfigure all the deadzones again, same for polling rate, turn it up, and you get to reconfigre everything again.

If they keep going with a virtual Analog stick route, we will all require the exact same mouse or 20+ adjustable settings to tweak our different mouses to work with the games settings.

im so tied of reading post like this from GIGA noobs who has no idea wtf thay are doing ingame in the first place. DO NOT TELL ME TO ADAPT OR DIE... well you can but then you would have to say the same to a racedriver with no wheel so maybe you sholud consider that if you are doing good now you dident have any aim to begin with!

DS3 ! Why not fix that first??? Most of the people use a standard DS3 -_-

Take DS3. Try to make fine turns from say 0-60% range on the analog stick. You notice the turn speed is pretty constant. You have to move your finger only MMs to make fine movement. That is hard to do. Now snap from 0-100%. You can visually see you turn slow for about a second or so before the accelleration kicks in. In reality you want that second or so to ramp up in between 0-60% so you can make that fine aim. Then you want the 60-100% range snap to speed instantly. Now you can GTFO.

You guys sure it isnt the damage boost saving your butts?

Ive said from the beginning aiming seems fine and the issue seems to be constant firing with full automatic rifles instead of bursting. If the damage increase is helping you kill before the recoil starts messing you up, it could seem like your aim is better, when the reality is, its just the higher damage killing them sooner.
