   Ok.. I'm really a practical guy when it comes to mouse sensitivity.

   I use a Logitech G3
   Here is a simple GGL review for the G3

   I'm using a steelseries clothmat

   I use the latest Set-Point
   No Game Detection
   No Acceleration implementation
   Advanced game settings have 1800 - 1200 - 400 dpi settings (X and Y axis are locked)
   I use 1800Dpi for Quake
   The report rate is 1000

   My Quake sensitivity is 0.8
   and uses Windows mouse input (in_mouse -1)
   I use no mouse acceleration

   This results in approx 26cm per 360 degree turn

   I think I have my ideas right.
   1) Sensitivity is relative to Dpi
   2) Set Point software is good for using in Quake games
   3) Mouse Acceleration is a personal choice rather than 'best practice'
   4) The choice of mouse mat is personal rather than 'best practice'

   I need to know if my ideas are sound

   Thx Ger

   Id say...

   Mouse acceleration is BIG no no! You will be at a disadvantage no matter how good you are with it.

   Mouse matt any good large surface is good speshly with low sensitivity (Yours is fine, I got the same :p)

   Yes Higher the Dpi higher the default sensitivity. I have 2000dpi in QuakeLive and a sensitivity ingame of 2.5, default windows and no drivers app sens
   So im thinking your sensitivity must be extremely low, maybe thats why you have problems?.. Quake is a really fast game, tbh i think you'd be better off with a higher sens as youl need to change direction alot!

   Yes, your sens is way too low.
   My brother uses the same sens but he has a certain script to aid him with turning..
   I'll see if I can fix it this noon and post it

   You'll need to bind this script to a key and 1 press turns you 180

   My sens used to be lower until my skates on my g3 started wearing and my funcmat started wearing after the few years and it was stalling my aim. Now with a clothmat, i recently increased my sensitivity by about 50% and I like it...
   I can airrox, flick rail, , I RJ very easily and I dont need differing sensitivities for different weapons..

   I think it really boils down to the cm per 360 turn rather than the the settings (game\windows setting + dpi etc) but I wasnt quite sure...

   thinking about it.. I wasnt quite sure about set-point and all its options, I'm not the kind of guy that would notice these changes all that well...

   why mouse -1 and not 1 for directinput rendering vs windows rendering?
   Doesnt -1 just bypass all the special settings you can set like dpi and all?

   (I'm not fully familiar with the differences between -1 and 1 tho)

   this is from Mystery of X (Q3 EP clan)
   

   After reading about it for a while, I started Q3 and decided to take a look at what this setting actually does. I've noticed that only two values have an effect on mouse performance: -1 and 1. I will try to describe each of them in a few lines:

   in_mouse 1: this setting enables mouse events buffering which may sometimes result in slow game response to the mouse events. The advantage of this setting is that you can be sure that any event you send using the mouse will be received and processed by Quake.

   in_mouse -1: This is the value I liked most for in_mouse because it disables mouse buffering and results in a very fast game response to my mouse clicks or movement. The drawback is that sometimes events might be lost and your game will not respond to your mouse actions.

   Krg from ESR forums
   

   Lately Ive asked arqon about in_mouse -1/1.
   He said -1 is controlled by windows and 1 is directinput, so value of 1 is much better.

   Now I think that beacuse I set this to windows input and thusly setpoint controls it that I now have proper control of my mouse but I'm not too sure... I dunno what I'll do

   Setpoint isn't windows :p (you can select an option that says Setpoint implementation or OS implementation)

   So I didn't see him this noon and he's already in bed when I get home so..
   I think my 360 is at around 15cm or something..
