The maximum sensitivity setting of 10 is un ltered. Each incremental stop or setting is a 10% decrease, i.e. 1 setting will decrease mouse pointer input to 10% (i.e. a linear graph). Windows Pointer Speed [Windows Only] Pointer speed is the Windows implementation of Sensitivity. In Windows XP, a setting of `5' means there is no ltering (default). This bar is included as a convenience. DPI switcher - Resolution Acceleration Acceleration is an internal lter of the driver, and is primarily a legacy option for low dpi mice users. With acceleration enabled, faster mouse movements cover additional on-screen distance. Windows XP has acceleration turned on by default as a convenience for users assuming that everyone will have 400dpi mice, but this will likely be a hindrance to most gamers and precision users who require greater accuracy. The `acceleration o ' option (default) turns o internal acceleration only and does not a ect Windows XP acceleration, which can be turned o via the Control Panel, Mouse, Pointer Options, and unselecting `Enhance Pointer Precision'. Resolution is the number of counts per inch of movement sent by the mouse hardware to the OS. E.g. 400dpi means a movement of one inch will result in 400 counts of movement. Without any of the above lters operating, this will result in 400 pixels of movement on the screen. your mouse or pointing the beam in any one else's eye.
