Feature request: Raw mouse input, 1:1 zoom sensitivity and sensitivity values (no slider)

Hey there, op.
Just letting you know you're not alone on this one.

I'm very picky about my aim and tracking in games, and this issue has haunted me since launch, the solution i had until a few days ago was to have a dpi clutch on mouse4, but that always messed up my grip while ADSing since having to hold both mouse2 AND mouse4 at the same time was kinda unconfortable.

Recently i discovered a way of having the DPI shift on mouse2 while keeping it's original funcion, if you're rocking a logitech mice ill be glad to help you with it.

This is an option that should be in by default, especially now that xbox is getting kb/m support.

As for the smoothing/input lag, i also suffer with it, glad to see a brother that understands how crippled the input is in SoT, sadly i don't think we can fix this one by ourselves, the game always runs in borderless windowed mode and knowing that SoT is windows 10 exclusive that means permanent desktop vsync, and it can't be disabled since w10 doesn't allow us to disable desktop composition (which causes the issue), for this one all you can do is lower everything to cursed to try improving the input lag when you're doing something that is aim intensive in the game.

Also, don't expect people to agree with you here, majority in here are angry xbox players who think PC players are cheaters.

Yeah aiming in this game is horrible. I think even swimming changes your sensitivity.

It completely messes with my muscle memory. And then the low 90fov. You can tryhard it sure but I'm not invested enough in this game to care that much.

I went through this issue since the beta and rare still don't seem to get PC players that we're accustomed to a certain standard. There is even some weird mouse smoothing going on.

Rare only listens to whiny xbox players, sadly.
To those using logitech mice :

Run your mouse in automatic game detection mode, go into your default profile, right click it and go into "scripting" paste the following in there

bolded text
function OnEvent(event, arg) if event == "PROFILE_ACTIVATED" then
EnablePrimaryMouseButtonEvents(true)
end
if event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_PRESSED" and arg == 2 then
PlayMacro("DPI Up")
else
if event == "MOUSE_BUTTON_RELEASED" and arg == 2 then
PlayMacro("DPI Down")
end
end
end

Then set your mouse to have 2 dpi stages : the default DPI you want for unscoped and a second stage with extra 600 dpi, for example : your default DPI is 800, then your stage 2 needs to be 1400.

REMEMBER TO ONLY HAVE 2 DPI STAGES!

What the script will do is activate the second dpi stage as you hold mouse two and deactivate it when you release it, in sea of thieves this will result in your ads sensitivity being 1:1 with your non ads one, remember to set the ingame EoR sensitivity to 10 and blunder/pistol to 9.

Hope to have helped.

Was testing some different sensitivities earlier today and it seems like it's currently impossible to raise the sensitivity of the different weapons enough to reach 1:1 zoom sensitivity.
Example: With 10.0 Eye of Reach zoom sensitivity the ratio to your regular sensitivity seems to be around 0.6:1 The allowed sensitivity options do not go high enough.

The tests I did also seemed inconsistent depending on the speed I moved the mouse making me think the game has mouse smoothing or acceleration on by default, but with no option to turn it off or use raw mouse input.

Another thing that is fairly common in todays games is the option to type in a sensitivity value instead of a slider that is inaccurate and will give you different sensitivities even on the same decimal.
Example: On 400dpi 2.2 sens ingame if you have it moved just barely from 2.1 where it goes over to 2.2 it can be almost 5cm difference in your cm/360 sensitivity compared to going barely from 2.3 to 2.2

With the recent boost in attention this game is getting, probably a lot of them PC users because of watching twitch streams like summit, I thought this would be a good time to bring this issue up.

Does anyone else share my desire for these type of features? If you do please add a response voicing your opinion so this issue can get the devs attention.

The sensitivity maximum is that way by design and its server side so that keyboard and mouse players cannot turn faster than the players who use controller.

It's a design choice obviously made to give everyone the same maximum ability. It's a good design choice and one I feel works out very well for all.

It works so well any mouse with a driver can bypass it.
No, it's just bad game design.

I forgot to mention, controllers are FAR superior on canons, it's the main reason why i have a controller plugged in , same goes for the spyglass, spyglass is useless on PC if you play at low sensitivity.
