The windows pointer option I need isn't available

[bread94]

So according to the calculator, to have the windows sens I want at the DPI I want, I need to set WPS to 7 (in between 4 and 5) but you can't select a value in between the numbers. Is there soemthing I'm missing? (I hope)

Yeah, you need to set the value in the registry:

WPS
WPS is an abbreviation for Windows Pointer Speed. This is the mouse sensitivity setting in Windows, and can be configured two places:

• In Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Mouse -> Pointer Options -> Motion -> Select a pointer speed. This slider has 11 steps (1-11), where the default is 6. These values are noted in parenthesis, where 6/11 is the default value.
  
   
• In regedit under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse\MouseSensitivity. This method supports values from 1 to 20
  

A reboot is required to take effect.

and does using a WPS other than 6/11 cause an increase in latency, even if minute?

Using a higher value will make the pointer skip pixels, using a lower value makes very small and slow movements not register. But these are on the extreme ends, using values around the middle shouldn't affect the experience too much.

I think I'm going to keep my WPS at 6/11 then as I'm a stickler for everything working perfectly, thank you

Just update your windows,then u can change between 1 to 20 without registry

I've just realised, this wont affect the way the mouse works in games not affected by WPS, right? Only desktop?
