Training, is this possible?

Also make sure your hardware(esp. mouse) is 'calibrated' well. To make is short: http://fearless-assassins.com/forum/...wet-by-bosshk/

Thanks Boss, I'll check that link when I get back home. At work now and they got it blocked I've read your tutorials before and spoke with you on youtube, you told me to use IRC, but I haven't. (my name wasn't hog either) In your latest, you mentioned playing on someone else's system and the hardware really holding you back. I feel like I've only slightly improved over the past year, and I play regularly. So I have hardware concerns too. My mouse is MX518. I play at 800dpi @ sensitivity 2. I've read about the negative acceleration over 400 or so, but I can't really tell. I still read players using 1000+ DPI.

It depends on your mouse sens, resolution (r_mode) and fps. If you play with high sens and high resolution, and you get 125fps you won't probably have any negative accel issues. I play at 1680x1050 125fps and 2000 dpi and I don't have negative accel because my mouse sens is high.

I think 800dpi sould be safe, but you can test yourself if you have negative accel or not. Aim at some corner, with your mouse on the edge of your mousepad, move away really fast then go back slowly. If you are aiming at the same corner as before then you have no accel.

Actually you are in danger to have negative acc because of your high dpi(assuming that your windows sens is at 6/11 aka the mouse input is 1:1).

Btw Hog: In my tutorial there is this http://phoon.us/mouse/ link, but nowdays the site is down permanently, here is correct link: http://www.funender.com/quake/mouse/index.html
I'm gonna edit it to tutorial soon.
