High dpi and low sensitivity?
Low dpi and high sensitivity?
Acceleration, yes or no?

Share with the class. I feel like after 20 years of PC gaming I am still trying to get my mouse feeling right.

A dpi button and switch as needed. Problem solved.

Buut... I never use acceleration. It's ... weird.

What Fenixp said. I fiddle with the sensitivity sometimes when the default is too low. It's rarely too high.

DPI --> high
sensitivity --> low
acceleration --> off
smoothing --> off

mouse pad --> huge

I use a Trackman Marble (thumb operated trackball). I max out the speed and acceleration. I like being able to move my thumb a half inch and have my cursor fly all the way across the screen or to do a complete 180 in an FPS.

No idea about the dpi though.

I use the fastest settings in Windows and they still feel slow to me. I also use Linux and I set the speed and acceleration even higher.

3600dpi, I don't change standard windows settings. For some games running in lower resolution, I change dpi to lower.

low dpi and high sensivity doesn't make any sense, because cursor will "loose" its way during faster moves

The last few times I setup the mouse, I left them at the defaults. Had problems with lag in older games when I messed with the settings. Still have a lag now and then with panzer general 2 though. Dosbox thing?

I've got s logitech G5. It comes with a weight tray. Great mouse...stupid gimmick.

Honestly it depends on the game. For RTS I go medium b/c I need to go fast but it does me no good to keep skipping over the unit I need. FPS, more sensitive though some titles are more touchy than others. Thank god my G5 has a sensitivity control right on top of the mouse so I can change it during play.

I like it in some ways. I like a fast pointer and without acceleration a fast pointer makes precision more difficult on a tiny target.

2200-2500dpi is the sweet spot for me. And acceleration is most definitely off.

I use a Logitech Performance MX mouse and love it for all purposes. In OS X, Windows 7 and Windows XP on the same machine, I just turn up acceleration a little until I can easily travel the dimensions of the screen without too much movement of my hand, until it feels right. Then I leave it alone for everything. This has worked out nicely for me. I don't even recall what the dpi is on this mouse but it feels just right to me so good enough.

Yup, yup...same here

Sounds really slow, like gamepad speed. Nothing wrong with that, I think I just dislike it because I hate having to lift my mouse and move it back to center.

I don't know about exact settings, but in many games I find the mouse movement a bit too sluggish, so I make the mouse movement speed a bit higher than the default. And always enable the inverted mode, I'm a flight sim guy.

I don't touch any other settings.
