How can I reduce the mouse sensitivity? It's ridiculously over sensitive. I'm running the Quake3-UrT.x86_64 file in Lubuntu 14.04.

I've edited a few of the mouse settings in /UrbanTerror42/q3ut4/q3config.cfg but no luck. Any ideas please?

/sensitivity 0.001

If you are running one of those ridiculously high-DPI gaming mice and you don't have a DPI toggle, then having to choose really low sensitivity settings is expected. It's very unlikely that you won't find a value low enough to be good for you though.

What zenity said, use the sensitivity command in your console (most keyboards, press the '~' or '`' key in the top-left to bring it up/down).

\sensitivity

Will tell you your current level.

\sensitivity 1.1

will change it to 1.1

Unfortunately there isn't great support for 'gaming' mice on Linux right now, but if you're able to you can set DPI to 200 or 400. These are sensible levels for FPS gaming.

You can also try negative values for sensitivity if 0.001 is still too high, but the outcome tends to be a bit weird, you'll have to play around with small and large negative values...

It's a lot better now thanks. Only issue is that I think I've altered some other sort of sensitivity.

I'm using a laptop with the usual trackpad. Only issue is now the movement keys I use aren't sensitive enough. It's like I want to edge out a little bit, but it moves then rocks back to the same position. Then if I move it a bit more, it moves it well past where I want it.

Any ideas?

You should REALLY use a proper mouse. even a $2 mouse will be better than a trackpad.

Pickings are slim for high en gaming mice in linux. Razer and Roccat are supported by third party drivers Razer.
Roccat contribute driver support staight into the kernel.

From what I have learnt, the ideal configuration is to be able to consistently turn 180 deg onto target.
A few things to bear in mind:
Acceleration should be turned off.http://ubuntuforums....d.php?t=1734400
Mouse polling to highest permited value: http://www.urbanterr...rate-on-ubuntu/
Very well explained by S7habo, great player BTW.

I use a Razer deathadder black edition 3200dpi polling 1000Hz (actual dpi is 3200)
/sensitivity 2.5

2.5 @ 6400 DPI sounds extremely fast, but I don't know if the game supports raw input under Linux. Perhaps the pointer is also slowed down by your desktop mouse settings?

A good guideline is to set sensitivity so that moving the mouse over the entire mousepad turns exactly 360 degrees. Then tweak it in small steps (up or down) until it feels comfortable.

There seem to be two schools of thought on this: Use the whole mouse pad, and twitch.
I guess I fall into the later since my mouse is only being moved a few inches.
Some people palm the mouse others hold it with finger tips (that be me, big hands)

What is Raw input ? All I know is on linux mouse feel right an on OSX it feels wrong.
Never played on windows.

Quick google,
Found this http://steamcommunit...39854227821906/
So basically there is no Raw input in linux although removing OS acceleration helps explained above.
I'm quote happy as is, worried about UrT HD since mouse input under linux has been problematic with previous unreal engines.

CORRECTION:
my bad. Razer DeathAdder black edition 3200Dpi

Yeah but even for claw grip, starting with the whole mouse pad isn't such a bad idea. You then go higher until you start feeling comfortable, but not any higher. Among finger tip players (my preferred style as well) you will rarely find a competitive player below about 10 inches. It differs a bit from game to game of course, but Urban Terror is pretty similar to other competitive shooters in that regard.

You don't need to be able to do instant 180 flicks, as long as you are comfortable moving around, it's far more important to be more accurate at aiming at targets in front of you.

I've heard of pro golfers who have re-learnt their swing. This would be similar ;-)
