xP You can manage without the accel, you just have to crank your sensitivity up a bunch.

I played CS (they only had CS1.3 and beta CS:S in the LAN cafes there, weird) w/ cousins in a LAN cafe in the Philippines, there was no mouse pad let alone much mouse room... but I still hopped on and fiddled with the settings to take off the mouse accel (no mousefix d/l, though).

Worked out pretty nicely, probably was playing at around 3x the sensitivity I usually do but it was still alright.

Thx so much

. This helps much more than just disabling mouse accel in CP. My Accuarcy got better instantly!

I've been using this for a couple years and it definately helps (for reasons that Captain Coors explained). Had to do this fix on all my friends computers as well, which they complained about at first, but eventually got used to and they ended up liking it better. Acceleration is just one more reason I hate playing on a 360...

So.... tried it. Definitely like it better w/o mouse accel...

So... Just a little question. For you guys that don't turn off your mouse accel. what is your mouse sensitivity as opposed to those that do take off mouse accel?

Edit: And this question would hopefully refer to a 22' monitor running at 1680x1050 res if that is of any significance on a pretty standard mouse.

i got 24 inch and i use default settings so i guess 1?

Problem with listing sensitivity by the number is there are lot of factors: mouse DPI (this is a biggy, 4 on a 400 dpi mouse is the same as 2 on an 800), mouse response rate, resolution, even things like OS can make a difference. 180 turn distance on the mouse pad is sometimes used for measuring with those without mouse accel, but WITH mouse accel it's going to be tricky to measure as there are also varying degrees of mouse accel itself! Logitech drivers will give an option for various amounts, but I'm sure other stuff changes it too.

Anyway, glad this is helping people out!

Yeah right after I found about it tried to get friends to install but many were reluctant. Those that stuck with it were glad though xP.

Before turning off accel, I was usually around 1.2 or 1.3. Now I'm sitting at 2.1. I haven't really played with it much to see if I like another setting better, but I've been comfortable with it.

I'm using a 1000 dpi mouse (Logitech lx3)
