Need to slow my DPI right down.

OK here's the deali-o. I play as an artillery gun number in ArmA and I need to be accurate over a long distance, accurate enough to hit a building. Now at ~1500 metres I can do it easy with my G7 at the lowest setting and the ingame axis setting to the lowest. But sometimes I get called in to destroy a building with OPFOR in it that is 3000+ metres away. For this I need to get the elevation and tangent within about .001 degrees of what my calculations tell me to hit the target. With the lowest settings it usually jumps about .03 degrees per mouse movement and it can be very tedious/impossible to get the accuracy right not to mention with the time it takes me they may be gone.

Is there anyway to slow it down further? Is there any thing like a mouse emulator that I can bind to, say my numpad, so that I can make those very minute adjustments. Even if it only slows it down by 1 or 2 thirds of what I currently have would be a huge help.

Karma for the most helpful responses ofcourse.

Can't you make more profiles? I know with my Copperhead you can make different profiles and switch between profiles with side buttons during the game.

My G7 has 5 different DPI settings and 600 is my lowest and the lowest I can get according to the Logitech Mouse profiler.

What if you go into control panel and mouse settings. I think you can lower the sens there.

Windows mouse sensitivity setting.

Now give me Karma.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Download the Logitech SetPoint software.

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/428/1 … amp;osid=1 This is assuming you have Windows XP 32bit.

There is a way to change the DPI settings.

Will this lower it below 600DPI?

EDIT: Travis that program came with the mouse that's how I have it set to 600DPI.

It won't lower the DPI, but the sensitivity. Kinda the same thing. Try it.

Ooh I went to Control Panel > Mouse Property > Select pointer speed to slow and it works perfectly.

Thankyou, close to what you suggested, probably what you meant anyway.

Bah fuck it, works great on windows and the ingame menu, get it in game and it goes back to what seems to be whatever DPI my mouse is set at/the speed the game is set at (slowest) Damn it. Any fixes for this? Lol 10 karmaz

There might be a setting in SetPoint (G5 software) for that. Something like "Keep mouse settings in-game". I believe it's in the middle tab. I'm not sure, though, as I don't have SetPoint right now, and I have an MX518. It should be the same, though.

Here's an AHK macro that I compiled to an .exe It allows you to use the arrow keys to move the cursor 1 pixel at a time.
http://files.filefront.com/finetuneexe/ … einfo.html

Here's the source code if you want to take a look.

Code:

MouseEvent(a_xpos, a_ypos)
{
   DllCall("mouse_event", uint,1, int,a_xpos, int,a_ypos, uint,0, int,0 )
}

$Up::
   MouseEvent(0,-5)
return

$Down::
   MouseEvent(0,5)
return

$Left::
   MouseEvent(-5,0)
return

$Right::
   MouseEvent(5,0)
return

Pause::Suspend

Use it if you want.

I am using an older version of SetPoint 4.2.4 to be exact don't know if you are using the newest one (I have a G7 too). I found out that in the "Advanced Game Settings" that it will allow you to go down to 400 dpi. I also found a setting like freezer mentioned above. It is called "Apply game settings when a game is detected" in the mouse game settings, you might try unchecking that (The square that has a picture of a chess piece). You might try different settings in setpoint and see if it works.
