Do you use mouse acceleration?

[Chumpman]

yes/no maybe?

 

[KingNothing]

No, the pendulum effect would get annoying.

 

[Monel Funkawitz]

I do.

 

[Chumpman]

wow a surprising number, i figured most people would leave it at on considering it's winxp default

 

[Shawn]

what are you talking about?

I think you should state it's called "Enhance Pointer Precision." Some people may not realize that this == mouse acceleration.

Right click over the checkbox then click "What's This?"

 

[spanky]

nope. i find it annoying.

 

[Tetsuo]

nope

Also, I forgot to mention, I do have it on. I like how it is more precise with the smaller movements, but it still moves fast across the screen when I want it to.

same reason i got it on too.

 

[SSP]

I do, but I have it set to low acceleration. It sortof felt weird with out it. I guess I'm used to some XP default settings.

Yes, 21" monitor.

Yep, at high resolutions you NEED acceleration, or it takes two passes just to get the mouse across the screen.

Exactly. I prefer a trackball so I want to cover the screen in one thumb movement.

 

[wicktron]

I have it off. Movements feel more accurate and in-proportion to hand movement.

I got Dual Monitors, so yes, I need it.

 

[Amorphus]

Yes. feels unnatural with it off.

 

[brigden]

How can you use a mouse with it off? Ugh. Feels like I'm dragging the pointer through mud.

 

[FreshPrince]

"on" for normal use and "off" for games

 

[BeauJangles]

On, I've always had it on.

 

[Anubis]

always used it. have teh accel almost all the way up. on dual mon 3200x1200 you really need it
