List of suggestions related to mouse settings based on my first few hours of playing

Try playing with a controller..... Sounds like first world problem when 64% of players are console and struggle to compete with K+M in the first place.

You can have all these changes once opt-out is in the game. FOV past 90 on a 4K 30FPS will completely destroy the visuals of the best console. 78' is standard because it needs to work on Xbox One. The X manages 90' without problems but the One clearly shows frame tearing and artifacts creeping in at the highest field of View. So now you want to have 110' for an even great competitive advantage.....

@sprungnickel427 don't know much about consoles but yea the fov problem makes sense. Every other suggestion is pretty necessary though, even more so since Xbox players will be able to use mouse and keyboard as well.

uh, no not yet, and not sure when, and it take a significant effort to learn to play K+M properly. My sons have learnt from day one, I for one, can barely type let alone coordinate multiple keys to jump around ships and do not look forward to the pain and failures of learning this interface.

@dosuii Cannons are slow for a reason in this game... because they are cannons. If everyone were able to move cannons like they were able to move their guns, we'd have serious problems.

You have to try using a cannon on both high and low sensitivity with a mouse to know what I mean. You'll notice no matter how high your sensitivity is the cannon will only turn at a certain speed, and it will stop whenever you stop moving your mouse. The problem is that people who prefer lower sensitivities can't reach max turning speed on the cannon without swiping their mouse a ton. At that point it's just more practical to use WASD.

I remedy the ads sensitivity with a setting on my logitech drivers that shifts my DPI on mouse2 and drops it back down when i release it, making my ADS sensitivity 1:1 with non ads.

Damn that's a smart fix but unfortunately I don't have that option on the mouse I use.

This is a good example of a reason why crossplay is going to be optional for console players. If a console player tried to do something like this with their Xbox, they would get a hard ban from Microsoft for cheating and their console would be "bricked." But it is viewed as perfectly acceptable for PC players.

You should have seen the complaints back in the Beta when PC sensitivities were actually the same as consoles and you couldn't adjust any of them like you can now.... So many complaints about how it was literally unplayable on PC.

This is why we can't have nice things -- like crossplay.

@Dosuii I can almost guarantee you that this isn't an issue, it's an explicit choice made by the Rare in order to mitigate imbalances between Xbox controllers and M/K. If you had played a year ago you would realize that the significant tweaks that they have made over many months were intentionally implemented in such a way that interacting with Cannons, and specifically Eye of Reach ADS / Scope are meant to take several swipes of the mouse across the mousepad in order to acquire your target. This is very obvious when first playing the game, when you are first getting used to aiming and then all the sudden when you are aiming using a cannon you realize that your DPI is cut almost entirely in half, or more. Rare sought this solution because of the glaring differences that were highlighted by the differences in X / Y sensitivity and pace of combat disparity in Mouse / Keyboard vs Xbox controller. To this day you will find that maintain that interacting with the ship should be more optimal on an Xbox controller (marginally) and hand-to-hand/weapons combat is typically more optimal on a Keyboard / Mouse. It's clearly a design choice. The reason you won't see sensitivity sliders for cannons, etc. are also because of this. I feel like Rare has been especially opaque about it though, because talking about it brings in the whole Xbox vs PC crossplay debate that is super taboo around here.

"based on my first few hours"

No thank you.

Been on this forum for more than a year.

This is the first time I seen a pc player complain about mouse sensitivity.
Quite hilarious when you seen so many post about pc vs Xbox dominance.

Never had a problem with this myself.

You really think there aren't that many PC players compared to Xbox players?

Both platforms have increased since launch with Xbox getting an option to opt out of crossplay due to too many PC players and thier advantages.
