0% MM will be enough. No, it will not! I will try to make this article simple. To make it understandable not just for the regular settlers here. On this site there is a lot of stuff you like a newcomer probably do not understand. They will instruct you to read a instructions which will make you even more confused at the beginning. Because it’s hard to imagine something behind the text or formulas. Most of the time there is a talking about percentage of Monitor Distance ex.: 0% MM. What does it mean? I will show you on example with 100% Monitor distance – vertical (MDV). Converting from Windows to Game. In Windows desktop measure the distance traveled by the mouse, if the cursor moves across the entire screen, in the vertical axis. In other words, if you move the cursor from the top edge of the screen to the bottom. I measured 2,7 inches. Now if I want to reach the center from the top edge of the screen. How much distance must mouse travel? A half right => 2,7/2 = 1,35 inches. So if you set a calculator here to match your game for 100% MDV. It means that if you move your mouse vertically about 1,35 inches. The cursor on screen in game will travel exact same monitor distance like in Windows. Ends at the edge of the screen. Mouse distance 1,35 inches = A half of monitor distance in Windows and game. So at this mouse distance. We can say, that sensitivity is same for both Windows/Game. However the sensitivity is same only for one point on the screen = one mouse distance. Any other mouse distance lower or higher from 1,35 inches. Will result in different monitor distance in Game. More or less. Because of 2D/3D projection. I created a graph that allows me to see the projected path of the cursor on the screen for several mouse distances. So you better understand what's going on. Graph is simulating one quarter of screen. We don't have to simulate the whole screen, because the rest will just be mirrored to this quarter. Graph on right side is showing cursor path of our example 100% MDV. Dots represents a cursor path. Green simulates a Windows. Red game. But as you can see, mouse sensitivity is same only for one point = one mouse distance = one monitor distance. All other mouse distances will result in a different monitor distance. Ideally, we want all pairs of points (Green/Red) to become one. But it’s mostly impossible to achieve it. Recently I found out how to find the smallest difference between points for all mouse distances. Here comes the Jedi’s mouse trick: Set the monitor distance to 100% MDV and note the 360° distance = 13,1815. Set the monitor distance to 0% MDV and note the 360° distance = 11,3097. Manually adjust the sensitivity so that the 360° distance matches the average of both values (13,1815 + 11,3097)/2 = 12,2456. By this you will receive the smallest deviation for all points. I will demonstrate it on a Square graphs (ratio 1:1). This method looks easy. But it's practically 11 years of development behind it (With pauses of course). You can see the difference visually. But we can compare it also with numbers. I will use sum of absolute monitor distance deviations (SoD) for comparing with 0% MM. We don’t care if the deviation is positive or negative. We just need to know absolute deviation. If the SoD value is lower, it means that method has a lower deviation for all monitor distances. It will be not to much precise. Because we are comparing just 9x points on screen. But it’s enough to demonstrate the differences. Windows to Hipfire: Windows to AWP Zoom 1: Hipfire to AWP Zoom 1: If you do not want to adjust the distance for all points, but maybe only for 40%. Repeat the same procedure, only use 40% instead of 100%. This give you the smallest deviation for all monitor distances in the range of 40% of monitor screen. There is many people who are trying to guide me to use 0% MM. No matter what. But they don't understand that they're taking me back 11 years to the exact moment that led to the development of my Mouse sensitivity utility. I understand that 0% MM is mathematically correct. But when I leave the game back to Windows. I can't hit the icons, and it makes me mad with 0% MM it’s even more noticeable. Because what we are doing in Windows most of the time? We are opening and closing windows. And to close a window you have to move cursor all the way to upper right corner of screen. And there is the biggest deviation for 0% MM. That’s why some people like to use 100% MDH/V. Jedi’s mouse trick is a compromise between tracking (0% MM) and flicks (100% MM).
