cooller used speed

/thread

why are you buying a new one every year?

I use one of those cloth rollers on it every week and wash it one time during summer and it holds up pretty well compared to other mousepads..

I wash it too, but its not the same anymore. Steelseries QCK i have been switching every few months

The secret behind QcK is that it wears out really fast - a lot of players like the slightly worn out QcK feel, more traction but still glidy enough.

Try some artisan pads if you get tired of razer/SS

I just made an order in the morning. Didnt see this comment. I might try order few more mouse mats. However, lets see if speed edition wont be good enough for me.

Ordered the Goliathus speed edition.

I forgot to give the main reason why I'm switching mouse pad so often. I'm playing with extreme high sensitivity. Sens. 10, no accel @1800 dpi (m_yaw/pitch 0,022), fov 120. I guess I'm very sensitive if mouse mat is used because of my settings.

uhm, sens 10@1800? holy crap thats high even for me

sens 10???

get mouse with higher DPI ASAP!

also i would go with icemat if i had such high sens.

I have razer deathadder 3.500 dpi. Why high dpi? Explain me? :) I should set higer dpi then? I am playing at 640res. Dont think higer dpi will help me much. However, chagning dpi will fuck my sens and it will be hard to find exact the same as before :/

No you don't need a different mouse 3,500 dpi is enough. If you want to try 3,500 dpi, you can get the exact same sensitivity with sensitivity 5.142857142857143 or you could just use 5.14 and it should be close enough. But I would just stick to whatever your use too.

ingame sens @ 10 feels pretty unsmooth to me(has to do with fov too tho).
dunno if you use zoom, but there it is most noticable(even sens 5 feels not optimal smooth with zoomfov 60 for example).

I dont use zoom never did in Q2 so I never really bother to have zoom

i just tested it with your fov and sens:

on dm6, when you look from RL door to bridge door - with your settings there are 20 possible postions from left to right inbetween the bridge door.
with sens 5 there are already ~45 positions you can aim at.

that's what is visible with 1680x1050, but also in 640x480 you lose the postions(angles) you can aim at.

If you stand still. With movement + mouse moves there is a different story. IF u wish I can add you and lets try in game + you can suggest me what is good ingame.

doesn't matter if you move or not.
with ingame sens so high, you lose the angles you can aim at.

use a high monitor resolution for a change and see youself how the cursor jumps from "block to block".

How much cm/360 is that? It's like even higher than mine.

Test yourself if you can. I think its about 1,5 - 2 cm per 360 (on eye).

2 cm



HOW?

Ask people who saw me on a lan ESWC2010 Slovenia :) xanthic, avis, filo, ripper, xgo.. And god knows who else were there:) They couldnt believe that im really playing with so hi sens:)

I played with you on pub only and I also can't believe it!

Was thinking to record my self so everybody can see. Don't think there is a player playing with 640, 120fov (no zoom) and so high sens :)

I'm curious to see that yes pls

gogogo :D

You probably hear this a lot but you should lower your sens. I used to play at 7 sens at that dpi and did well with it, but I now have it to 2.2 and I can still keep my wrist planted most of the time but my aim is more consistent. At first it's weird switching to a lower sens and getting used to moving your hand more, but I found gradually lowering it in steps worked. After playing at a high sens like that where you primarily use small fingertip adjustments to aim, it seems to be useful training that transfers over to lower sensitivities.

I use control, doesn't matter to me which one i use

/thread

why change a working set up

I like control more, but that's cos i'm probably use to it. Speed is faster mouse mat. Was thinking to lower my sens, but I wont do it. Tracking is much smoother and better I think. Goliathus speed feels like plastic mouse pad which I never really liked. I will try to get use to it and see. Otherwise I will order goliathus control again.

Neither, table

Control is nice if you have a mouse with large feet. Speed is nice if you have small feet. Personal opinion, don't h8
