Mouse acceleration different after re-installing windows 7

[jakobkp]

Hi!

I am one of the few that are using mouse acceleration when gaming. Don't ask why, but I always have, and properly always will ;o)


Nevertheless, since I reinstalled windows 7 yesterday, my mouse is feeling very different, as if the acceleration has changed a bit.

I am using the EXACT same settings as before reinstalling which is:
- Mouse: Zowie za11 (500 hz - 400 dpi)
- Enhanced pointer precision ON
- 4/11 pointer speed


These are the settings I have used for several years now, and suddenly the feeling is way off. As explained something seems to have changed the aceleration, and by changing my pointer speed to 5/11 it gets a bit closer to the "right" feeling(which is even weirder), but still not close enough.


If you have ANY idea on how this could be fixed, please do let me know and I will give it a try right away

Thanks in advance

MouseThreshold registry settings could have changed while keeping the same speed.

Copy pasted from here: https://superuser.com/a/469051

In regedit, there are three settings in the registry correlated to changes in the speed setting of mouse control panel:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse\MouseSpeed
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse\MouseThreshold1
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse\MouseThreshold2

The MouseSpeed key maxes at 2 from control panel, and increasing this above 2 will cause the mouse to slow down, since it doesn't accept values above 2.

The mouse speed is a multiplier for MouseThreshold1 and MouseThreshold2, which correlate to acceleration.

To increase mouse sensitivity to maximum:

Set MouseSpeed to 2.
Set MouseThreshold1 to 0.
Set MouseThreshold2 to 0.

You may want to set MouseThreshold1 and MouseThreshold2 a little higher than 0 if your pointer becomes a little too jumpy on the screen, but make sure that MouseThreshold2 is greater or equal to MouseThreshold1, and all three of these are integer values.
