Absolute Woes (with the absolute mouse mode)

[Castillle]

Sooo Im here just messing around with the absolute mouse mode and what I noticed is that....Umm...

Im having a hard time reaching corners of my screen without moving my hand around:(

If I were to not move my hand around I almost always have problems reaching one corner of the screen o.o do you guys have any ideas on how I can make it easier to reach all the corners?

Right now, my base station is roughly 45-50 degrees from the direction of the monitor and about 1 ft away from my torso o.o

if it helps, Im using a 1080p monitor so maybe its the wide screenieness of it causing the hard to reach edge?

We primarily use 1080 monitors.

Remember that you want to move the cursor by rotating your wrist (not moving your hand).

If it still doesn't feel sensitive enough try setting the "pointer" sensitivity to High in the Hydra Configurator. You can also change the sensitivity of each game individually by editing the mce files. Check out THIS (http://www.sixense.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=239) thread to see how to do that.

I tried that but for some reason, setting the sensitivity higher just made the cursor move faster and still curve off on one edge.

when I tilt it left and right and front and back, it goes to the edges fine. but when I attemt to do it at the same time or one at a time to go to a corner, it just curves...maybe its because of how im moving my wrist?

Castille is your base oriented properly? If you haven't already please orient it according to THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki_55urw2KQ) video.

If your base is rotated off-axis from your play axis you will have more cursor travel in one direction than the other. It should be equal to the left and right. Once that is so, if you still can't reach the edges your sensitivity needs to be raised.

Oh!!

hmmm...OMG!! Thank youu!!

Got it aligned better now!

I always just kept the razer parallel to me and just now I decided to try and align it better while actually using it and I got the edges all fixed @_@ Thank youuu!!

Weird thing though is that I can reach all the Edges when its set this way with the hydra facing my left arm o.o
