Is there some sort of secret? No matter what sensitivity my mouse is set to I seem to get stuck when turning. On a controller I can turn completely in a circle, but not with a mouse unless i’m missing something. I’m willing to accept that I might be an idiot. But seriously how to people do it? It just feels so unatural. Sorry if this is a dumb question, because I think it’s a dumb question too.

    Accuracy. When the slightest twitch makes me spin its way harder to consistently hit targets, especially small ones at a distance. Slower is better for sniping, faster works if you’re rocking shotties. A buddy of mine plays so much quake he has macros that adjust his mouse speed upon switching weapons so it adjusts accordingly, and it really makes a huge difference.

      Logitech mx518 is the best gaming mouse ive ever used. I originally got it for $30 on a sale in like 2009 or so when i built my second main gaming pc. Then in 2020 when i got back into PC gaming and built a new rig I just checked to see if it was still available as my old one the cord had gotten chewed, and i guess they rereleased it and i ended up paying like $70 but i still think it was worth it. Anyway moral of the story aside from awesome ergonomics it has a little dpi switcher above and below the mouse wheel that lets you cycle tne DPI and therefore the sensitivity super quick and on the fly.
