Custom Mouse Sensitivity

If the mouse feels sluggish (or slow) when playing Orbz, you can adjust the Mouse Sensitivity in the Options/Controls dialog. Some people have reported that even when set to "Fastest", the mouse still isn't fast enough for them.
So here is the low-down on how to set a custom sensitivity value that is faster than what the options dialog allows you to set:
- Run the game
- Load up the Tutorial in Solo mode
- Press Ctrl+Tilde (~) to drop the console window
- Type the following text exactly (or copy/paste it) then press enter:
$pref::Input::MouseSensitivity = 0.02;
- Press Ctrl+Tilde (~) to close the console window
- You should notice that the mouse is moving faster
The bigger the value you set for that variable, the faster the mouse will move. You shouldn't need to set it higher that 0.1 ever because that's obscenely fast. Try different values by following the same procedure as above but replacing the 0.2 with the value you want to try.
Here are the values for each of the settings in the options dialog:
Slowest = 0.0005;
Slow = 0.002;
Normal = 0.004;
Fast = 0.007;
Fastest = 0.1;
Once you find a value that you like, the game will save it when you shutdown and remember it the next time you start the game back up. This is so you don't have to enter the value each time.
If you go into the options dialog with a value that doesn't match one of the presets, you will see the word "Custom" next to the Mouse Sensitivity option.
