Logitech G500 Mouse settings

[CptainCrunch]

So I have the G500 and its been a great mouse. The issue though is I seem to fight it constantly in BF3. I cannot get things set right so that I shoot spot on. I keep adjusting settings, but there are a lot to change.

For those that use this mouse, you have anything to share on how you are setup game and software wise?

Here is what mine looks like. I used to have a bunch of different DPI levels set, but finally settled on just using 3, with the fast speed for use on tank turrets. Other than that, I really haven't tweaked it per se.

Re: Logitech G500 Mouse settings

Did you experiment with "Use RAW blah blah" option in BF3 settings? With that one enabled BF3 uses Logitech driver or uses RAW data from mouse. At least that is the theory. In case of my AnywhereMX mouse and after last patch I get better results with RAW data ON.

Re: Logitech G500 Mouse settings

I was testing the RAW setting yesterday. It does seem to respond better with it Off.

Thanks for the pics, Signa, I will check them with mine and see how they are setup.

Anyone have any other settings they changed? How is your sensitivity set in-game?

This is what I've gotten used to. I tried it to adjust it so it felt very similar to my previous mouse so I'd adapt better

Thanks Jimy!

I will have to try those out as well and see.

Its very frustrating when you have the draw on someone and you over/under shoot at them. Its causing me to develop bad habits in the game, like blind firing and spraying the target before them being in the crosshairs.

For others that may be lurking, I also found this thread of the problem I am having. I will have to try all these as well:

Re: Logitech G500 Mouse settings

I Do not understand what that "report rate" is. Signa has it assigned to 1000 and I have it to 500(default) . I tried puttin on 1000 but the mouse just feels like it's heavier ( I have to move it more for the mouse to actually move and my hand ends up feeling tired after some seconds)

Re: Logitech G500 Mouse settings

Its how often the mouse communicates to the computer within a set timeframe. Not sure if 1000 is a second or minute.

Re: Logitech G500 Mouse settings

But why does it slow it down?

Re: Logitech G500 Mouse settings

I think its for backwards compatibility as well as being able to adjust it so it feels best for you. The mouse giving information to the pc 1000 times is going to send the mouse coordinates faster and more effectively than 500.

Im sure some systems though cannot accept 1000 data bits telling it where the mouse pointer is now. Lower it down and it smooths things out, but may not be as accurate. Not a big deal, but it could cause response delays.

In the big scheme of things, people play BF3 with wal-mart mice, so it may not hurt some as much.

Re: Logitech G500 Mouse settings

All these mouse setting changes have worked much better. It still is a bit off though. I will be trying this links later tonight:

Tried with RAW input ON and it does make a difference in my case.
