Computer mouse feels like overshooting?

I got the new Razer Naga Epic Chroma and I use it in wireless mode and I recently turned off mouse acceleration when I got the mouse as I heard it was bad. But now I don't know if it's the getting used to it or the mouse itself/mouse acceleration but I just overshoot things. For example I'll probably overshoot the Post New Topic button in a bit. Any ideas?

Change your DPI. You should have a little button on your mouse.

Personally, tho, I like mine high, even on 1920X1080.

I believe I put my DPI on the same it was before but let me double check

You just recently switched to MA off? That's the problem. It takes maybe a week to get used to, but after that its smooth sailing. I know I had problems when I first turned it off but after a week or two everything felt normal and intuitive. Just give it some time.

 

Edit - Or, as mentioned, check your dpi. It might be a bit high for your preference.

I also have Steelseries Engine installed *not sure if that means anything* anyway I'm checking the max DPI of my old mouse because that's what it was at

My DPI is actually lower now.

For some reason it feels like literal jumping. I was scrolling down earlier and when I let go of the scroll the cursor jumped up and right from where the scroll cursor was
