Does anybody else realize that you can't turn off the sensitivity buttons on this thing? I've done searches and it seems nobody has any complaints. And I think that's odd because this problem is such a huge annoyance to me. Here's what I've found out after playing around with the settings and testing them in UT.
1. Changing the sensitivity buttons (+/-) to "Do nothing" does nothing. They still change the sensitivity. No matter what you set them to.
-This begs the question. Why do they give you options to change the buttons to if you can't actually change the buttons functions?
2. Taking UT2004.exe out of the recognized games does nothing.
-Supposedly it's supposed to turn off on the fly sensitivity. "When you remove a game from the list, standard mouse settings apply when you play that game, and you can't change mouse pointer sensitivity on-the-fly" ...eh, nope.
3. Turning off whatever dpi settings you don't want the mouse to change to does nothing.
-This was no surprise to me. Because even if you change the sensitivity using the sensitivity buttons in Windows it changes nothing. And by that I mean the dial of the dpi does not change. Nothing changes in mouse settings when you click the sensitivity buttons, yet the actual sensitivity of the mouse changes.
So are we supposed to guess what dpi it goes to when the sensitivity changes? One might think you could deduct it. If you have 3 settings available. Say the default, 1600, 800, & 400. And you press the increase sensitivity button 3 times you should be at 1600. And if you pressed the decrease button 1 time after that you would be at 800. Simple. Yet, what do we do when the only setting set available is 1600 and when we press the increase the sensitivity button it increases and when we press the decrease sensitivity it decreases?! It wouldn't be such a mystery if we could go back into the settings and see what settings it adjusted, but it doesn't actually adjust anything that can be seen!!?!1 :bulb:
How do I turn this on-the-fly **** off? please help.
