best mouse input??

[VynnZero]

dont know what to use and does mouse smoothing is worth it? i played the division 2 and i feel something is wrong with red dead aiming like it hard to make quick accurate shoot in 3 person.

i dont know compared to other 3 person shooter even gta 5 was better i think.

Turn mouse smoothing off and turn sensitivity higher thats what i did.

I play Division 2...

Division 2 is just easier to target. For one most of the npcs are sitting in place behind cover. They not riding on horseback flying past you fooking you up. Also the Division 2 has your drone and turrets auto targetting and shooting stuff for you with one button.

Don't think smoothing is good.

On the other option I'm using direct input. I've heard raw reads directly from the USB port but wouldn't that bypass the mouse software? Not sure which one is the best option.

I also noticed that even when you are completely still and aiming from crouch there is some sway on the reticle. Shooting in this game is pretty hard imo.

Make more use of dead eye. Everything goes in slow motion so you can pick your shots easy. Dead eye is sort of OP imo

welp gonna try direct input and i didnt tryed smoothing yet but i will see how it goes.

i just feel that the division was more i dont know responsive. this game it feel sluggish.

Regular mice use mouse smoothing and increase sensitivity in software to your desired feel.

Gaming mice use Raw Input.

Don't use smoothing. And when given the chance, use raw input. Then set your sensitivity where you like it.

And it's talking me a while to get used to aiming in this game too. It just feels off. I expected it to behave more like GTA V when you were on foot. But I guess if it wasn't a little sluggish and off feeling, there would be no reason to use Dead Eye. So whatever. I've been tempted to just go to a controller on this game just to simplify the controls.

raw input direct input or windows input im confuse now i got a steelseries mouse and i use 1000 dpi

I can barely hit another player Online, unless they are moving straight away from me or standing still. The aiming in this game is horrible for KB/M,or maybe just for low-sensitivity gamers. If I turn the sensitivity to zero AND lower my mouse sensitivity, I can hit people pretty well, but then it takes 10 seconds to spin around or to move in the menus.

Some people nail me with headshots the second I appear from across the map (in free aim). It is not Paint it Black, because that still takes a second to turn on and fire; these guys insta-kill me with headshots. Wondering what settings and hardware (and hardware software) they use.

I've tried all 3 mouse input settings, both with and without smoothing. I've tried many different sensitivity settings.

first game i play that we have those option it so confusing and it hard to tell the difference.

and some keybinds in this game are questionable.

Sounds like you need a better mouse. Personally i never even touch sensitivity settings in most games and leave it at default, only to turn accel off. Leave the windows mouse setting at notch 7 and adjust your own mouse

I've got a G900 wireless... flawless in every other game.

Raw Input bypasses Windows OS settings.

Directinput is more for controllers and stuff.

Windows Input uses the Windows OS settings. Back in the day this was the only option and is the reason we would make sure mouse settings stayed at default in Windows with smoothing and acceleration turned off. Which is what I still do to this day because of habit and bias.

Basically, you want Raw Input as long as you have a decent mouse. It'll use your DPI settings for your mouse in game without interference from anything else Windows does. Then you set your sensitivity in game and you're good to go. And also, any form of mouse smoothing or acceleration is generally bad for gaming. It makes your mouse not behave consistently.
