I already PM'd this to skybruin, but then everyone posted theirs here, so I will too.

Look Sensitivity: 4 (I moved it up about a week ago, because 3 was getting the feeling of "way too slow")

I'm definitely going to bump it up again, I didn't notice much difference.

I ran at .261, .25, .271, .26, and .271 for a total of 1.31 and avg of .26. I alternate my look sensitivity between 6 and 7. Gamertag: kaberA

I think my look sensitivity is 4 or 5, but I honestly can't remember.

Hey, I think most of my sniping skill right now is distraction, and that's good enough for me!

Using a mouse:

Reaction time 3: 00.285 seconds
Reaction time 4: 00.323 seconds
Reaction time 5: 00.331 seconds

Average: 00.33 seconds



Also, this is measuring from when it says "PRESS STOP!" to when you actually release your mouse button. Personally, I think it would be more acurate if it measured when you clicked down on your mouse.

EDIT - I haven't played Halo 2 in forever, but I think I had my sensitivity set somehwere between 5 and 7. Vague enough?

Total time: 1.12 seconds
Avg. time: 00.22 seconds

(NOTE: I won't lie, this was my 5th trial. The previous four were closer to .275 Avg. The trick is to finish the click as fast as possible, not to slam down on Stop)

Sensitivity = 9, I plan to lower it by one or two soon.

Supposedly the pros play on 4-6, but it's all personal preference.

What has Halo's look-sensitivity setting got to do with mouse click reaction time?

.281
.266
.282
.281
.297

Total = 1.41
Avg = .28

Sensitivity = 5-7. I seem to alternate back and forth, depending on how things are going ingame.

This was my third try, as my first two had one try that was rather large, due to distraction or what not.

Also, you can "gimp" it by clicking start, and then holding down the stop button. It doesn't register "stop" until you let it up, so an interesting study might be to see if there's a constant difference between a full click and just a release time, or if there's something else affecting it. I know I was able to knock .05 seconds off my time by doing it this way, as opposed to doing a full click.

I second xn's post. With the touchpad on my laptop, my best average was .35 sec. With a USB mouse, my worst was .28 sec. Holding the stop button down the whole time, my average was .21 sec.

.14 seconds of deviation. Hooge.

My sens is whatever is default for halo.


P.S. I also noticed that doing the test sitting up vs. lying down changes the score significantly. Lying down was .08 sec. slower on average.
