Question for people who use the mouse
Hi all,
I was getting rather good at the game but I became too busy to play for over a month (new girlfriend) so, I re-suck.
Just a quick question, what size do you have the mouse box? I have mine set at 3, which is ideal for me to control & aim my tank.. but not so good for moving quickly.
If I have it set at 2, my aim is all wonky-donky but I can dodge better..
What do you have yours set at, and which of the above do you suggest I set mine at?
Your help's appreciated.

Yep, in Bz mouse-box scales linear with screen-size, however this doesn't implicate that screen-size has impact on required mouse-movement.
In short: Mouse-speed and screen-resolution are needed in this topic, however not screen-size.
(Naturally mouse speed depends on several factors like OS or mouse-acceleration, but a subjective estimate of mouse-speed like "slow, medium or fast" is still better than no statement)

Use your OSes tools for controlling the mouse speed. Each OS is different. I personally don't but the advanced mouse theory, a plain old vanilla mouse works just as well as a fancy on IMHO. I've used plenty and notice no difference.

Congratulations on not noticing a difference. It'll save you money.donny_baker wrote:Use your OSes tools for controlling the mouse speed. Each OS is different.

A Logitech MX 1000 produces a very loud, sharp screeching noise when moving on my mouse pad (made of glas), where G5 is making a smooth, acceptable noise. PTFE feet and harder to move mouse wheel make a big difference.

I need to buy a new mouse matt, too. I use a crappy ball mouse so if the mouse matt gets a bit wet or anything you're buggered if you want to dodge.
Not doing too bad though, I'm staying in the positive scores a lot now'a'days!

(I would be wondering if setting the mouse speed wouldn't be the same on XP and "XP Media Center".)
