We should also factor into any discussion about mice settings the type of sensor of the mouse and the type of surface they're being used on.
Optical sensors are most suited to soft surfaces. Such as cloth or woven mouse mats. Laser sensors are better on hard surfaces. But can be used on both hard and soft surfaces.
Each type of surface will have a different level of effect on mouse movement due to friction. A mouse will move more slowly on less dense materials such as cloth, rubber and woven materials. But will move more quickly on denser material such as plastic, glass, wood and metal.
I use a SteelSeries Rival 500 which has an optical sensor. I had been using it with a SteelSeries 'QcK Hard' mouse mat but recently switched back to a SteelSeries 'QcK Vector' soft mouse mat. The soft cloth surface suits the optical sensor perfectly.
I used to always use laser sensor type mice and assumed I could get an optical mouse working on a hard surface. But it takes so much messing around and experimenting that, in the end, I gave up.
It may be worth checking to make sure your mouse mat or surface is suited to your mouse. 🤔
If you get the right combination of sensor and surface,adjusting the settings should become far easier. In the end it's personal preference but something to bear in mind. 🙂
