I just bought a mouse. I am testing 800 and 4/11 (enhanced precision off).
let's see how it goes

I play 6/11 800dpi which is very close. Would be interested to see how you find 4/11 @dionesio

coefficient of friction values of mouse surface should be calculated for this thread too

Lol this is funny. Need to know how heavy the mouse is and how much pressure people put on it then.

First, try increasing your "Scroll Speed" setting and decrease your "Camera Acceleration Time" in the "Game Options."

I recently decreased my DPI from 1800 to 1200. It feels much better, and as a result I increased/decreased the speed/acceleration since my mouse reaches the screen border slower now.

maybe unrelated but i feel like i misclick more in aoe3 when i'm playing on 1440p as opposed to 1080p. does anyone else feel similarly? is it possible that the unit clickable area is relatively smaller in higher res screen?

i don't see how, he doesn't really talk about desktop resolution.

also my issue is not really related to mouse hardware, it's about changing desktop resolutions and how aoe3 plays on different res.

My mouse is in a superposition - everywhere at the same time.

24in for 1080p and 25in for 1440p

It shouldn’t cause both res are 16:9 but it’s aoe so who knows

24in for 1080p and 25in for 1440p
Then that stems from 1440p being smaller and thus harder to click. I think 1440p works best with at least 27inch monitors.
This has nothing to do with the mouse sensitivity, just the dpi, the higher your screen resolution, the higher your mouse dpi needs to be to compensate.
This video should explain it:


It seems to depend on the game though, some games handle it completley different and all resolutions seem to feel the same, best way to find out is just to test.

yeah i mean it should feel identical after i compensate the mouse sensitivity because both res are 16:9 and the zoom level is identical in aoe3 then (this would mean that any one unit should take the same % of area on the screen). but it just seems to me like the unit boxes are harder to click on 1440p. maybe i'm just bad, you know

4k is way higher resolution. You have to multiply your mouse dpi for the same factor to keep the same feeling.

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.
