Why mouse sensitivity differs from different Windows OS??

[Pr.Jitterskull - best bug fixer]

The mouse sensitivity on Windows 7 64 bit feels rather clumsy when compared to Windows XP. One of the main reason why I keep two OSes and prefer to play classy old games like Quake on XP.

If you did indeed set them both to where you like them and they now both feel about the same as you wanted, what was post #8 about?

Sorry it's hard to tell if you actually resolved your issue as directed or if you're just refusing to adjust them to your liking. Your last update (the one you deleted and then re-posted) contradicted itself and you never clarified your contradiction.

I can't imagine why you'd make this thread if you're unwilling to resolve the issue when told exactly how to do it though, so I assume by this point you adjusted the settings so they both feel the same like you wanted. Right?

Where did I said that they both feel about the same? Like I said, they feel different, even though I set them exactly the same, but mouse sensitivity on XP still feels better.

Nothing of is contradicted really, you're making some random assumptions out of nowhere. Please re-read the thread again. I want the mouse sensitivity be EXACTLY like it is on XP, yet setting mouse controls exactly the same on 7 just like on XP doesn't provide such effect.

I did remove and repost the message because I needed to correct images. Although I did now notice your double posting now that I seems missed before and no, I do not contradict myself and say things exactly how they are, and that's the main issue and reason why I even made this thread - on BOTH os they are SET exactly the same (on control panel and in game), BUT feels differently. Adjusting them manually "to my liking" would be futile work that never will be achieved because it would just never feel the right, unless it will feel EXACTLY like it does on XP. I wonder if some other aspect matter to mouse sensitivity as well.

I'm not sure why you can't resolve your issue when it's spelled out to you. You seem to be going "I want this to work by my glaring at the screen until it works".

I've been sitting here for 15 minutes trying to figure your logic out and I still have no flaming idea what you're going for here...

I have same problem... The mose settings just didn't felt right on Windows 7-10, that's why I have another PC with XP when I want to play competitively. Yes, XP users still widely exist around world.

Review Teksura's posts. Consult the flowchart if you have any further questions.

Either they ARE the same or they are not. We're not dealing with schrodinger's mouse settings here.

They are set the same in the settings of Control Panel, yet the mouse sensitivity feel differently. What is so hard to understand about it?? You're the one who suggested to adjust mouse sensitivity in Control Panel, and I set the settings (levers and ticks) exactly the same on BOTH Windows 7 64bit OS and Windows XP OS, yet for some reason the mouse sensitivity still feels different. The question is simple: how, and where do I change settings for the mouse (if it's even possible) to make the mouse sensitivity feel exactly the same on both OSes.

And like I said, adjusting mouse sensitivity based on nothing more but memorial and empirical senses till you feel like they are alike is futile work as that way I would never achieve exactly the same feel and it always will feel differently regardless.

Teksura původně napsal:

Set so they feel the same means they don't feel different. You can't have something that feels different and also the same. That's a contradiction. I've already mentioned this twice now.

Please read the post above that covers this.

Ok so aside from the fact that you clearly don't want to fix this by simply adjusting the settings like you've been instructed several times, what stops you from just simply correcting this issue by adjusting the settings like you have been instructed to do so on several occasions? And so help me you had better not go back to saying it's the same but different again. Either fix the issue by adjusting the settings so they feel the same or don't. I don't care if you do or do not.

If I "didn't want" to fix it, I wouldn't make this thread to begin with, does that makes sense for you?

You seems keep missing the main point of what I'm saying: only because they are set the same (in the Control Panel, like you actually instructed me), that doesn't necessarily mean that they will feel the same, at least with my case. I don't know how to make it more clear without even more derailing topic in to meaningless rudeness.

So if you don't care, why you're replying with such awful attitude to begin with?? Nobody really forced you to do it in first case and you're free to leave.

Not sure if you're Teksura clone or just his toady\troll, but if you're for real then I have no idea how you managed to miss the point I was trying to say. There is no possible way I can make it any more clear than I already did.

Turn off the enhanced pointer precision underneath the sensitivity rating. With that rating (already) set to 6/11, and EPP off, every movement of the mouse should be translated on a 1 to 1 ratio to windows, making them identical.

Thank you for actually keeping on topic unlike other bored folks on forum. Yes, I have untick the mark like you said, but it still feels a little... clamped\slow\Inhibited or whatever you call it.

I had to remove my previous comment with screenshots because I messed them a bit, and in previous comment it was unticked.

I admit that I mess around with control panel a little before I was trying to make new screenshots again, trying to untick and tick random marks till I get somewhat similar mouse sensitivity feels like I do have on XP, but I never had luck to achieve such thing unfortunatelly, so I returned everything like it was (or the way you told me).

I wonder if it could be because the drivers\software the OS supports have some different mouse sensitivity drivers?

I really don't understand the unnecessary trolling and being an аss from teksure side which end up heating the whole topic from all sides, since this thread rather grasp the common problem among the users who get different mouse feel when switching between different OS. I'm one of them at least.

The settings in "control panel" and in games (obviously) are adjusted exactly the same on both OS (obviously as well), but it still gives for some reason clumsy feel on Windows 10 and on Windows 7, while I wish it feel same like on Windows XP.

The trolling and generally being an ass is coming from the other side. It's a very simple issue which was resolved early on. If you're not happy with the feel of your mouse settings, you adjust them until you are happy with them. That's it. That's all you do, and it's not even a complicated process. It doesn't matter how much you say you adjusted them to your liking, if you turn around and say they aren't to your liking after all then you're not done adjusting them and need to go back and either increase the one not sensitive enough or decrease the one that is too sensitive. It's really only a problem for people who don't want to actually adjust them to their liking, but still demand they function as if they have done so.

I don't understand why some people make threads with basic problems just so they can refuse all help and then go after the people who offered clear directions. It's a very frustrating thing to see. And there really wasn't much point in bumping this thread, either. The solution has been presented: Adjust the settings to your liking. Or don't. That's the only way to resolve the issue of "mouse sensitivity isn't to my liking"

This wasn't "resolved", giving random suggestion that hardly even fitting is not resolving it. Adjusting mouse feel manually is close to impossible and while I did my hardest to do it myself, it never get as smooth mouse feel like it does on XP. The thread is most definitelly not about "mouse sensitivity isn't to my liking", but about trying to adjust the mouse sensitivity for it to feel exactly the same on both Operation Systems, even if that goes against your liking, really. Besides, if you're frustrating that people having problems, and yet you don't care to actually help them, just don't reply, it's none of your business and like already been said, nobody forces you to reply.

I don't understand why you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ here if you don't understand that this is rather a serious problem for some problem and yet literally has nothing to say to the topic other than being an аsshоlе, assuming it's not really a problem for these people who actually have this problem, now that *is* a very frustrating thing to see, especially hoping the thread got bumped by people who actually wrote something addressing to actually fix the solution. But anyway, generic irrelevant "adjust to your liking" argument, assuming it's ultimate solution, will most likely not help with the problem announced in the topic. It's equivalent of when someone needs some other problem, I'll just suggest him to ♥♥♥ since that would solve ALL of his problems instatnly, even though it's unrelated directly to his own.

I had mouse settings adjusted the way Washell user suggested, who actually cared to post a message regarding the topic. Which I actually appreciate, so that's why it was very important to let him know that I still have such problem remain. So I start to worry that some other aspects, that are less obvious, are actually affecting this issue. It could be because of drivers I installed or some other thing, or some other options I missed, idk.

I have the same issue. EPP is off, windows sens is 6/11, mouse is set to 1000hz polling, 1600dpi, and 1.6 sens in quake and it feels off. It feels like mouse inputs are filtered compared to Windows xp. Note: I use an Oled monitor and a 4x3 aspect radio non-stretched for Quake/CS. Windows 7-10 feels goofy compared to XP with the same exact windows/game settings. Why is that?
