Phenomenally stupid question - GUI mouse speed?

(1/2) > >>

DiabloRojo:
Is there any possible way to increase the sensitivity of the mouse in the Menu/GUI?  I don't care if I have to hex-edit the exe, running 1600x1200 is causing me a major pain in the wrist between missions and when starting the game.  Limited space + joystick means my mouse doesn't have far to maneuver, and I still have to pick it up 3 times just to move it to a different option at the main menu.

My mouse sensitivity in windows is already maxxed and moves fine there, but moves at probably less than 1/4 the speed in-game...  No good mice with a DPI selector for lefties either.

:sigh:

CP5670:
I find this somewhat annoying too, especially since I use 2048x1536. I don't think there is any way to get around it due to how the interface currently works. If you have a mouse with a variable sensitivity/dpi adjustment though, that basically solves the problem. I just crank it all the way up when I load the game.

DiabloRojo:
Sadly, I have yet to find a mouse that is acceptable for me (left-handed) with a DPI selector.  Why can't logitech make a left-handed G5?  You evil, right-hand majority, keeping the left-handed man down!  :p

CP5670:
Try one of the Razer mice like the Copperhead. Those are symmetric and can be used left handed equally well.

I'm right handed and can use a mouse left-handed perfectly well.  What are you complaining about?  (I don't even bother moving lefties' mice, I just use them where they are.)
