Another recomendation for the Logitech G7. Its incredible.

On the fly adjustable speeds, and I use the button on the side to switch back to my main gun. This coupled with a Z-board MERC is as fast, comfortable, and simple as you are going to get.

I just got my G5 a few weeks ago and it rocks. The on-the-fly sensitivity is the shit. I'll never game without it again.

G5 is the same as G7 except with a wire, right?

I have a g5 and a razer copperhead and I prefer the razer. You get more buttons with the razer and it's more comfortable.

btw you can still do the on the fly sensitivity changes w/ the razer. In fact you only have to use one mouse button and the scroll wheel which I like better. For me I have 2 extra useable buttons over my g5. Plus the sensitivity change is much better on the razer. You don't have to pick between preset levels, You scroll from 1 - 10 in .5 increments on the sensitivity.

I just got it.....and it is pretty awesome - takes a little getting used to.  Having trouble with the DPI settings though....anything over 400 dpi is WAY to fast for me in normal view....wondering if the sensitivity or pointer speed in my set up is too high...

What I would like to do if have it normal speed for normal first person....and tweek it BACK to slower for fine tune sniping.  I am less interested in getting it to go faster for tanks/APC....I tried that and didn't make much of a difference for me.....

The thing is great though....much better than my MX700.....

I would check your mouse sensitivity in BF2 under the controls. If that's turned up it might affect the sensitivity. It might also be that you just aren't used to a fast mouse yet. I use the "on-the-fly sensitivity" setting and I usually set my mouse around 5.5 - 6.5 (lower for sniping) and my mouse sensitivity under controls is 1.00. Hope that helps.

OK - thanks - I will tweak tonight and see what happens...

High DPI > low DPI.

You should be running a low sensitivity anyway. I run 0.30, something 0.20 with 900 DPI on my G5.

No high DPI isn't better than low DPI or the other. It's pure preference. Normally people who likes to play with low sensitivity plays with low DPI because it works better and people who likes to play with high sensitivity normally uses high DPI.

OK - set the mouse DPI to 2000, and sensitivity in game movement options to 0.20, and mouse settings in control panel to lowest pointer speed.....that worked - Now I have a normal movement for the 2000 setting (for general playing, running around etc) and much slower movement for zoom sniping (400 dpi).  For tanks etc, I jumped the in game sensitiviy up to 2.5-3 which speeds up my turret movement and allows less travel for the mouse to spin all the way around.  Still making some final tweaks as it is still "off" from my last mouse....but is working great now....THANKS !

No, my point is high DPI allows the mouse to be more sensitive to your movements. I don't mean higher DPI as in moving your mouse faster.
