To Activate Storm TactiX functions, Key 5 must be set to Storm TactiX. Usually for gaming purpose, you would set the LOD to the lowest setting, to allow for faster movement, if you need to bring back the mouse to the center of mouse pad a lot. On our LOD setting, 1 is the lowest and 5 is the highest setting. To setup LOD, go to Main Control>Sensor> Lift Off Distance and select the settings you prefer. It used to be that FPS gamers had to use a tape to obstruct the sensor aperture a little bit to reduce the LOD, as optical mouse used to have 1 or 2 cm of LOD. With a low LOD, the cursor isn't going to be moved when the mouse is lifted up. Some gamers prefer a mouse with a very low lift-off distance because they play at a very low sensitivity, and often have to lift their mouse off the pad to bring the mouse back in a position where they can continue swiping. LOD refers to the distance a mouse has to be lifted before the sensor stops tracking. Press apply after every change to save it to the mouse. Rapid Fire: LED will show the customized color you selected, and will flash white light with every click.īreathing: LED will cycle slowly from Off to the customized color. Spectrum: Once selected, the LED will cycle through the RGB color spectrum. Sentinel III also has several color scheme effect that you can set the LED to. Look up the RGB chart for the RGB value, from any RGB chart online, for ex. Adjust the RGB slider to the RGB setting for the color desired. Select a DPI profile that the color scheme will be customized and associated to.Ģ. So that every DPI settings can be associated with a unique color.ġ. Each DPI profile in turn can be associated to a LED display mode. The LED color can also be fine tuned by adjusting the RGB values. However, Sentinel III allows you to make that choice!Ī: Please make sure to download and install the latest firmware and application from our download section. For the LED settings, Sentinel III can store up to 5 profiles, and each profile linked to 4 DPI settings. So there is no clear answer to what you should choose. The perfect combination of DPI and polling rate depends on the type of game you play, as well as your play style. Higher DPI and Polling Rates for Better gaming? A 1000 Hz rate would mean that the mouse is reporting its position to the computer every millisecond In other words, 125 Hz polling rate means the mouse is reporting its position to the computer every 8 milliseconds. If a mouse has a 125 Hz polling rate, it's reporting its position to the computer 125 times every second. Usually, you would prefer a low DPI setting if you are playing FPS with a sniper rifle.Ī mouse's polling rate is how often it reports its position to a computer. A mouse with a higher DPI setting detects and reacts to smaller movements.įor example, when playing FPS game, a change in DPI will allow you to change between sniper rifle and assault rifle without loss of performance. The higher a mouse's DPI, the faster the cursor on your screen will move linearly. With angle tuning set to the orientation of your mouse, it will automatically correct this deviation, and make the cursor move as if the mouse is held straight.Ī: Please make sure to download and install the latest firmware and application from our download section.ĭots per inch (DPI) is a measurement of how sensitive a mouse is. Personally, I hold my mouse with a slight leftward bend of 10 degree, as a result, when I move my mouse upward, the cursor will move to the right with a 10 degree bend. Not everyone hold their mouse perfectly straight. See below illustration by the same person to draw straight lines with/without angle snapping. Allow everyone to have almost perfectly steady hands. Q: Sentinel III How to setup Angle Snapping and Angle TuningĪngle Snapping will automatically correct small deviation for us, allow us to draw perfectly straight lines.
