Is there some sort of secret? No matter what sensitivity my mouse is set to I seem to get stuck when turning. On a controller I can turn completely in a circle, but not with a mouse unless i'm missing something. I'm willing to accept that I might be an idiot. But seriously how to people do it? It just feels so unatural. Sorry if this is a dumb question, because I think it's a dumb question too.

Not really. Long time ago I was used to a mouse with ~3000 dpi and after a few years I was extremely precise with it. Also faster, obviously.

Yes, really. Speed /= precision.

Did you miss the "extremely precise" part? So no, not really.

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 3 points 19 hours ago

No, I didn't miss anything. "Precise" is relative term. Whatever skills you developed increasing precision can be applied and further improved with a lower DPI over a larger area.
