Hello again ET gods,

 

Since i learned so much last time I thought I would ask another ? 

 

I have changed a few things re my monitor and FPS, I cant get comfortable with my mouse again so just thinking may i start afresh and try to use settings that would work better for ET, but everything out there I read contradicts each other in someway or another.

 

I know this has been answered many times before but what DPI/Sensitivity does everyone use and is there any reason for this? I know that it is personal preference.

 

1) Is there a reason for using a lower DPI with ET because it is such an old game?

2) Why a lower sens is definitely beneficial over a high one?

3) Why having a lower polling rate is useful?

 

I'm definitely a wrist aim not an arm aim so i think i would always have a higher sense/DPI than others, plus i have just started to use rinput since people seem to think it eliminates negative acc.

 

ATM im using

 

Version: Legacy

OS: Windows 10

Screen: 2560:1440

FPS 125

FOV: 106.27

In Game Sens: 1

DPI: 2000

Polling Rate: 1000

Rinput: Yes

 

Any suggestions on what to try/change?

 

Any response welcome, thanks very much
