Am I doing it right? 3d -> 3d -> 2d

[Excalibur]

Hi, 

So firstly I'm going to try to explain what I want to achieve. My main game is Warframe and I'm trying to adjust my whole pc environment to match it's mouse sensitivity. Because of if I hope to improve in flicks. 

Besides of mainly playing warframe I train in csgo and osu! I know that some people will say that osu skill doesn't translate to 3d games but let's not start this conversation ... Also, obviously my windows sensitivity should match osu and 3d games to keep all constant. 

By saying constant sensitivity I mean doing the same mouse movement distance in millimeters (Y) on mouse pad to move croshair / cursor from point A to point B (X) on monitor screen. Point A and B on monitor screen is measured also in millimeters (you can imagine measuring tape on actual screen) and represents what eyes see. 

I dont need to measure millimeters here, actual number is not important, important is to keep that distances the same across games and desktop environment. 

For better understanding please take a look on image below. 

My current settings can be found on attached image. 

I'm not really sure If I'm doing it right. In warframe I need to move mouse like 60mm to move left edge of the screen to the point where right was. In CSGO like 58mm. Also just subjective feeling is that my sensitivity in CSGO is a bit higher than in Warframe. In Windows I need to move cursor from left edge of the screen to the right like 68mm. It is right according to calculator but not the same as in WF and CSGO. Overall my tests with measuring tape tell me that things arent right.

You are doing it correct, but if  you want the edge movement to be identical, select Monitor Distance 100% instead.

With Viewspeed the match will typically be around 60-70% Monitor Distance (depending on FOV etc). As you can only match to one point between different FOVs, this means that there will be a slight different when moving to 100%.

I have seen that Monitor Distance at 100% gives more accurate results when converting from game to desktop. It is a bit confusing as also I was looking at Chord length thinking that it represents distance from one edge of monitor to other. In this case game Chord length (6.9705 cm) should be equal to desktop Distance (6.8446 cm to move mouse cursor across screen). But I'm assuming I dont understand how Chord length works, it is not showing mouse distance to move one edge of monitor to other? 

With Monitor Distance 100% will I get accurate measurement only from one edge of monitor to other (100% accurate) and the rest will be a bit off? Ofc it's important for me to have it as accurate as possible all the way, not only on edges as most flicks happen somewhere in the middle of the screen, not on edges. What I should choose to have it as uniform as possible, as close to this what I showed on screens from games and desktop?

With viewspeed the chord length is used to match the sensitivity, but it does not indicate how far you have to move your mouse to move the entire chord length.

Monitor Distance 100% is from the center of the monitor to the edge btw, not edge to edge. But yes, the rest will be a bit off. This is the same for any conversion method.

ok, so lets forget about chord length, nor relevant to my case than. 

I'm still having some troubles. In warframe and in COGO to move left edge of the screen to the place where right was before movement I need to move mouse around 60mm. 

On desktop to move cursor from one edge of the screen to other I need more like 55mm. If Monitor Distance 100% is from the center of the monitor to the edge than it should be 11.8???? 

I was repeating this test many times and still I'm getting the same results. Reading all above I would expect that movement from one edge to to other to be 100% accurate knowing that there might be some slight error in the middle of the screen, not perfectly on edges. Im on triple monitor set, does it might affect things? Main monitor has different resolution than others. 

Also in this case what ratio means? 

Sorry for all those questions and thanks for your patience

@DPI Wizard could you clarify for me this thing with 100% distance? In my case 5.9 cm is from one edge to other, there is no way I can be so off with my measuring. It's not 5.9 from center to the edge. Also most flicks happen in in the middle of the monitor so maybe I should use something else than 100%?

Your measurements are correct. The 100% rotation distance in the calculation is 3.0046 cm, so for edge to edge multiply this by 2.
