hmm.
I never noticed 'enhance pointer precision, what's that do?

Its mouse acceleration. For the love of aiming, keep it off!

So THAT'S where that went in Windows 7.

Some one said Major_Brass turns his on.

Nah, I've been doing what these videos suggest since I got competative in CSS about 5-6 years ago including keeping mouse precision off. I watched many hours of CSS professional player demos. For a while, I spent 45 to 60 min a night on muscle memory maps before going into a pub or
playing a match. It made a big difference. I went from being happy to have an even k/d to having a positive one most of the time.

I watch some team "complexity" matches back when they had Rambo and fRoD and realized that most of the pros played on huge mousepads with very low sensitivity. My sensitivity is much lower though than in these videos - side to side on a ss qck+ does less than a 360 for me. I think that is around 15+ inches wide. Reg sensitivity vs low is like the difference between threading a niddle and threading a wedding ring. Which could you do faster?

I'm really an average player. What gives me an edge is the low sensitivity, 0 mouse accel, and the muscle memory those allow me to develop.

An additional tip - make sure you have raw mouse input on in bf3 options.

Also, most mice have some positive or negative accel built in. Get one that does not! Stay away from lazer mice as most of those have negative
accel issues that become especially evident at lower sensitivities. I have tried microsoft intelipoint, logitech g500, death adder, ss iqari and one or two other mice I can't recall. I recommend and use Logitech g400, the new mx518 with no logitech drivers, just plugged it in.

If you want some more tips, look up "all in the wrist". It explains a lot.

I googled the info Brass mentioned and came up with this.

Interesting read.

Yes, a good read indeed. All of these little tidbits of info that you guys have been dropping have helped me identify my weak points in game. Not that there's any more i can do about it, but at least i know why i suck now!

If you are wondering how to do the muscle memory thing in bf3, watch xfactor's video again and pay attention to what he does on top of the carrier when he is snapping back and forth on the rock tips. You could go on any mAp, stand a little ways away from something square, then aim in the middle then to a corner, the middle and another corner and so on.

But I think it's most important to get a big mouse pad, lower sensitivity, and turn off mouse a accell first.

hmm, I had it off... guess that removes any excuse there...
I have G7 mouse, but whenever I install the SetPoint software for it, the mouse movement gets all wonky, so I end up just uninstalling it.
I need a good wired gaming mouse.
