The mouse control IS, in fact, pretty broken right now (though not as bad as it's' been in the past). That said, there ARE some things you can do to fix it that work around long-standing bugs in the game.
First and foremost you need to know that the DS3 Controller settings in Dust 514 affect the mouse and keyboard. This includes the sensitivities, aim assist, and inversion. So your first step needs to be cranking all of these sensitivites up to max, disabling (the broken) aim assist, and making sure nothing's inverted.
Next, the PS3 settings itself still play a part as well, so go to Settings -> Accessory Settings -> Pointer Speed, and set it to "fast" on the XMB.
Finally, make sure you disable mouse smoothing in the keyboard and mouse settings in Dust.
I use a Logitech G500, and with the on-mouse DPI set to fastest it's definitely usable and far better than a controller, though still not up to par with how a mouse should behave. Knock it down to 2 if you've got an enemy sniper that thinks he's got a really clever position and need the extra precision to zero in on his stationary head.
All this said, stationary turrets are still unusable, and vehicle-mounted turrets are less-than-stellar (not a big deal on a tank, whether as driver or gunner, but on a LAV it's impossible to hit anything while moving, never mind an enemy LAV.)
Hope this helps my fellow mouse users. |

I just went to the store and bought some Zalman M400 mouse for $25 I believe.
Has a 800/1200/1600 DPI setting. This is LIGHT YEARS ahead of the RAT 7 on the PS3. The mouse itself is pretty comfortable although it is too light. I like the weight of the RAT. At least DUST is becoming playable again.... So in the meantime all the RAT guys that are having issues, try the ZALMAN for now. Maybe other version of the RAT, like the RAT 9 or maybe the more basic versions of the RAT would work closer to the ZALMAN with a bit more weight I'm not sure.
Hopefully some one can chime in. At least I know what I'll be doing tonight. I think the X/Y Axis is still messed but this is light years ahead of the RAT 7 so far. Report more as I go.
CYBORG brand products, like the RAT (and the RAT7 especially) are notorious for not working well, if at all, on anything but windows. They don't properly follow HID standards and depend heavily on their custom Windows drivers and softare configuration. You want a headache, try just getting the RAT7 to work in Linux at all, never mind any of the fancy features on it.
Logitech is one of those companies you really can't go wrong with for keyboards, mice, joysticks, and headsets (your core peripherals for computers of any type.) They're high quality, reliable, durable, and follow all HID standards. They tend to work wonderfully out of the box on pretty much anything, and it's not even hard to get their more advanced stuff working on non-Windows operating systems (though obviously you won't be able to use that stuff on the PS3, since you don't get any special software, just the basis HID drivers.) |

Keeping my fingers crossed for that one to work I've got one of those, if you like I could be a dear and test it for you? Save you the money? (My other half has a Rat, so I could do a comparative!)
Do this! My logitech g500 works as well as about anything on this build, but compiling a list of good mice for Dust would be invaluable! |

My mouse is at the other house, so I'll try and give results this evening I'm not particularly talented at using a mouse but I should be able to tell shitmouse from good right?
Shouldn't be a problem. Just be objective in actual performance and how it handles, don't worry about "i kept getting killed." |

I've started a thread for us to compile a list of Mice that work well in Dust 514 and provide some information about just how to configure them and how they behave when configured that way. Thought it might prove helpful to other people that either don't have a mouse but want to get one, or have a mouse they are looking to replace due to poor performance on Dust.
