I also read that people like to use the Microsoft Intelli blabla. Can a good version still be bought new? Or was it only the old series that were so good?

I have an intellimouse 3.0 and I love it just as much as my old mx518. I don’t know about the old versions but I think I have the newest, and there’s no problems. There’s really nothing too special about it but its very reliable and won’t skip pixels or anything like that. Fits low-sens players the best, but that’s also much up to opinion…

Can you set it to the settings I use? Or something similar (dont know the IM3 dpi). And do the flicking thing?

I had exactly the same problem for about 4-5 days, i totally re-installed tf2, got m0res fps config, and it all worked fine.

It happened on every class not just soldier, i move my mouse a little to the left and it jumps.

I have a 3500dpi DA

Maxed out driver sens, windows default (vista 64), ingame 1.4, 1800DPI, takes about 8 cm for a 180 I guess

EDIT: Must have something to do with the maximum mouse speed, since you must be moving it a lot faster than me to RJ.

I’ve just tried this; absolutely no problem with it no matter how quickly I move the mouse.

Ordered a IEM3.0. Should have it tomorrow. I’ll report on my findings.

(I have quite a collection of mice now… DB Plasma, DB G3, DA 3500dpi, Abyssus and then the IEM3.0. )

I am also unable to replicate it regardless of how fast I flick mouse on three different pads: Steelseries SX/Goliathus Speed/Mantis Control.

Actually I rebuilt the DA I’m using now out of parts of two old 1800 dpi DA’s which were broken, entirely because I was fed up of using shit other mice with bad tracking, weight, shape or a combination.

One thing it could be is if you have a slight lift of the mouse when you do these fast flicks combined with a pad that gives low liftoff distance with DA, then the sensor can skip/malfunction.

MS 3.0 will probably not fix your problem. The sensor does work consistently the same on almost any surface but as a low sens player you will get a lot of negative acceleration on fast movements with this mouse and probably also some clipping. IE 3.0 starts skipping at about 2-2.5m/s so if you can make the DA skip chances are it will be worse on IE 3.0 unless the 3.5G DA has a compatability problem with Qck and Destructor surfaces.

I find it weird you can’t do it with the 1800dpi DA, fadestep confirmed he could do it. My DB G3 also does it, and that mouse has the same sensor. I don’t think you flick fast enough. It doesn’t happen to me always, it only shows near the maximum speed I can get my mouse to go.

Any other options? Else I’m just going to get a Krait (since you can’t get an old DB G2 anywhere anymore) or something.
