Posting here again, since I've been experimenting with my sens a little.

At the moment I'm running 9.2 inches per 360. 4 sens, 450 dpi, raw input on all my games.

For a while I was running 18 inches per 360, which gave me very stable hitscan aim and decent flicks, but I wasn't able to turn fast enough to avoid getting shot in the butt by scouts.

My main class in TF2 is soldier, typically roamer, but I also play a lot of Quake Live, so I can play most classes reasonably.

36cm/360 or 14.2 inches without accel applied, accel is 0.1, 2.3 power, 5 offset, 3.8 sens cap, works out to ~9.6cm/360 when flicking

took ages to get used to but so worth it

5.00 in-game sensitivity.
Mouse accel is on, but said to 1, I get weird jitters that I can't work out without it being on.
8/11 Windows multiplier.
Default yaw speed.

And I manage to play Soldier with that, I have no idea how.

9.7inches/24.5cm

unless the advertised dpi on the Zowie AM isn't actually 450

Degrees Per Inch 23.5
Degrees Per Centimeter 9.3
Inches Per 360 15.3
Centimeters Per 360 38.7

Inches Per 360 = 24.2

11.3" / 360 scout

It's ~520 or something

So the calculator says I'm at 5.8 inches/360 but when I measure it physically, I can just do a 360 on my QCK mass. (12.6 inch width) I'm almost certain I have no acceleration (besides whatever amount the G500 sensor supposedly has) so what is causing this inconsistency in results?

are you being a dumpster n00b and putting in what bar you're using for the windows sensitivity column or did you actually use the chart

How did you find rocketjumping at that low sens? I just got a qck+ mousemat so I could deccrease my sens, halved it to 22 inch/360 and it's great for every class except soldier, as which I keep hitting the edge of the mousemat while trying to rj :(

Should probably just pick somewhere in the middle but I really love being able to actually aim, for example, the xbow

My windows pointer speed slider is in the middle position (6/11) so I put 1 in the "Windows Multiplier" box.

4.20/360

I didn't have any real issues rocket jumping. Like, I couldn't do surf map style strafes, but I could strafe well enough for any given rollout and most bombs.

I'm pretty sure Raiin runs a 22 inch/360, or has in the past.

51.4/360

DPI: 800
In game Sens: 1.10
Inches Per 360: 18.6

I seem to have little problem jumping using a 20 inch sensitivity, although large strafes that require quick turns are hard, as well as looking straight down from straight up from syncs. Checking doorways for stickies can be difficult occasionally; the way around that I use is to have mouse4 bound to make my sensitivity a 10 in. 360 to easily do big movements but to also keep my mouse somewhat in the center of my mousepad.

Thanks Aoshima and EXC0, I appreciate your help. I think my problem is probably also to do with where I normally hold my mouse on the mat. I do have a spare mouse button, maybe I'll use that tip. Cheers
