I bought a new mouse (Deathadder) and mouse pad (control edition of Razer) recently which inspired me to start experimenting with my mouse sensitivity settings a bit more. Before I had a $4 dell mouse and used my wooden desk as the surface. My mouse is now set at 100% sensitivity and on SC I decided to try out 85%. Well... this totally didn't work for me: I kept overshooting everything, it took me ages to click on a probe and when I got nervous or needed to deal with an emergency and my mouse slipped a bit the screen ended up scrolling away really really fast.

I have 2 questions:

• I realize that the theory is to minimize your hand movements, but I was wondering if there is a point when it is just toooo sensitive to be practical. What sensitivity settings are you using?
  
• Before my whole hand rested on the mouse and I slid it around my desk. In order to try and not over shoot everything and try and stabilize the situation, I have started experimenting with new ways to use my mouse like planting the heel of my hand on the desk and using the front of my hand to move around - is this correct?
