Angry "PC" Games - Mouse Speed Unplayable by Default

Why is it that almost, if not every game I have played lately has absolutely unplayable high mouse sensitivity and acceleration? What the fuck were developers using? Ball mice?

Getting fucking sick of loading up a game, only to exit moments later to look for a mouse fix. And have to piss about for the next 15mins finding a setting I am comfortable with.

For non FPS games it's fine, I can switch to the pad...but just loaded up Mass Effect 2 and it doesn't support xbox pad. WTF is that? They urge you to use the mouse, but it's unfucking playable until you google a fix.

Sure, I am on a gaming mouse (mx518 v2" which I can lower the dpi but I shouldn't fucking have to (I set to max and change buttons to extra keys). But that still leaves me with acceleration.


This guy didn't play the first game because apparently cannot correct it.

I've been using my MX518 for a few years now and never had an issue with too high sensitivity. Not sure if it's the v2 version though but maybe try reinstalling the drivers, or resetting everything to defaults if you can.

I dunno, I usually feel like I want my sensitivity a little above what most people do, but I keep it low enough in certain games to enable a level of accuracy that kind of defeats the purpose of speed. Like in DoD:S, I swap sens out between different classes: low sens for rifles, much higher for automatics. Most games without recoil I just keep it cranked and I do the same on most console shooters.

But I can see why you don't like high sensitivity if you primarily play console games; there really is a massive difference.
