<div class="IPBDescription">Why is mine so high?</div> My sensitivity is set to 35. That's thirty five, not three point five.
If I drag my mouse across as far as it can go, I do roughly two 360 degree turns ingame.
Most people I asked said they had under 10 sensitivity, and that around 20 it was too high to control.
What gives? Do they all have higher sensitivy out of game, or is it, as I suspect, the fact that I'm using a laser mouse? I've had to crank the sensitivity way high on the same model mouse on other computers as well.
I'd also like to hear if you prefer your sensitivity higher or lower, and what for. I've heard that a slighly low sensitivty helps smooth out aiming, but I like the responsivness of high sens as well.

Okay I got that out of my system.
First, the fact that putting your mouse sensitivity so high just because you use your optical mouse does not mean that it has too. That is totally unnecessary. But since I've been brave and kind enough to tell you that you have yours set waaaaay too high. But hey, if you like it, then by all means.
Most of us here uses somewhere between 5 and 15 for mouse sensitivity, which is sufficient enough.
Seriously man, put down your mouse sensitivity. 7 would be a recommended value for this game, but that's just me. (For the record, I use 10.9.)
What m_settings would those be? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
as for why different mice move at different speeds, i don't know though i think it is something to do with the resolution? i've just bought a new razer diamondback and unless all settings are on minimum it just moves like greased lightning (not a good thing in ns, especially when you are used to a slow sensitivity anyway, i use 4.1)

I use 20 or 30, depending on how I aim.

I also noticed you kind of stole my avatar :/.
Quoted for truth.
Too often people argue about sensitivities, but <b>the in-game numbers are not the only factors that affect your movement</b>.
Having said that, I use between 18 and 22; 18 when I'm slow and falling asleep, 22 when I'm fully alert and awake.
Just for fun, try setting a sensitivity of 2000 or so. Move the mouse as little as possible, then back. It should sort of "snap" to places - you can't go between those points. Looks like aimbot if one of those points turn out to be a player.
I tried using 200 today, and it's pretty interesting. Requires extreme calmness, as a small jolt in the arm would move your view completely.
I remember when I was used to a sens of 200. For me that was ~1/2 inch = 360 degrees. Not fun to change...
I don't even think my mousepad is 6 inches wide. <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Well if i put my sensetivity that high i would have to wait 1 min for me to stop spinning in game!
My windows mouse acceleration is set to low if i set it higher i can look forward to spending ages trying to aim at 1 spot!
I have my ns sensetivity set to 5.5 enough to do 1 360 spin over moving the mouse around 2 inches, any higher and im on 1 of those fair ground rides which keep spinning you for ages!
But like some of the others have said it really depends on the mouse and your preferences.
My mouse is very sensitive, if i turn windows acceleration to max then go in-game and try to do a 360 spin i lose count on how many times i have spun around i think the once i counted roughly 20 but everything is soooooo blury its really hard to tell how many times i did spin round.
when you pice up a ball mouse to move it to a new location on the pad (say when you run put of pad) the pointer stays in place... so a lower settiing works great (easyer to control)
when you pick up a laser mouse (for the same reson) the pointer does not stay in the same place... so you crank up the setting so you do not have to pick up the mouse (and hope you can keep control)
ball mouse > laser mouse for FPS imo
Midway windows sens.
20.5 ingame sens.
Then again, MX510 Mouseware does make me lower it.
p.s. Get a better comp.
Mouse Acceleration off
3.0 sensitivity
Sometimes its lower or higher.
my current sens is 2 but it is actually more sensitive than my previous mouse when i set it to 5.
factors affecting the sens would be:
sensitivity console command in ns of course
mouse sensitivity by default
drivers that can change sens of mouse?
mouse acceleration from windows or drivers
mousepad? not sure about this
m_yaw, m_pitch console settings etc
resolution
youre swedish, duh.
