Basics about gears and mouse setup

[Memento_Mori]

Hello,

I recorded a video to help novice players setting up their desk and better understanding the alternatives in terms of settings (sensitivity, accel).

hey -

i almost missed this thread because i do not understand what "gears" means in the title!

maybe change the title to say "PC Setup Basics for QL" or something like that?

anyway, cute and well done video! i liked it!

what size mouse pad are you showing?
I think I should get a bigger mouse pad.

I also want to change the way I have my pc setup so that I can rest my arm on a surface while I play. Sometimes, my arm aches from holding it up in the air moving my mouse, etc.

do you find wearing headphones over glasses uncomfortable? (i am just curious)

I use those ear bud things when I am playing with my glasses on.
(I still have headphones, but they are uncomfortable for me with wearing my glasses.)

Otherwise, when I wear my contact lenses, it is fine for headphones (although I do pull my hair back!).

thanks again and I hope others find some helpful tips from your video effort!

quakestreme doesn't use the subscriber forum (i looked and his account says "standard") - so he just doesn't know or see anything in that forum. but thanks lorfa and flashsoul!

ps.....i still am working on a sign for you flashsoul. i have some ideas!

i have your sign done lorfa! - whenever you want it, let me know! (it's for your eyes only)

and.......the only reason i put muckyman's on the gg public website was because he won the dark angel award and he was okay with me doing that in public.

and i put all the QL staff ones there because i am/was promoting QL at that website.

everyone knows i have been at the gg website for years. but they have been having recent problems with the 'friends' and 'profile' sections.
(and.......my facebook is private.)

oh well.

Mouse accel is the best!! :>

you should sit at your desk thats comfortable to you. if you want acceleration to always be on /clearcvar taken from my cfg
cl_mouseSensCap ""
cl_mouseAccelOffset ""
m_cpi ""
cl_mouseAccelPower ".3" - Sets the power of the mouse acceleration curve
cl_mouseAccel ".15"
