I think Matlo used a Logitech G5 when he started making the configs but have since then upgraded to a Logitech G500, so that would mean either a DPI of 2000 or 5700. Not sure if he's updated all the configs with his new mouse.

Overall tab
The
Overall tab is used for assigning
Triggers for multiple configurations and
Stick intensity adjustment.
Multiple configurations
Useful for situations like:
- Tactical changes in button layout during gameplay
- Changing sensitivity of aim in FPS games on the fly - fight that sticky aim down sight
- Using a controller with not enough buttons - holding down one designated button can change the function of all the other ones!
- Probably something we haven't thought of...
In Black Ops, for example, when you aim down the sight, the sensitivity is slowed down by the game.
Using multiple configurations (in one config file) you can counteract this effect by having an identical second configuration, but with a slightly higher "sensitivity", using exponent and/or multiplier.
If you want to do this and make a copy of your configuration from slot
1 to slot
2, you first make sure configuration
1 is selected under the
Configuration menu, then under the
Edit menu select
Copy Configuration. Then select configuration
2, and under
Edit select
Paste Configuration .
Now (while you're on configuration
2) go to the
Overall tab, click the
Auto detect button in the
Trigger field and click your right mouse button (or whatever you use as your aiming down sight button) So, whenever you hold down your right mouse button, configuration
2 will be activated.
Finally, tick the
Switch back box, this makes it so the configuration switches back to the previous configuration (
1 in this case) upon releasing the trigger button.
Play around with the exponent and multiplier values now until it feels the way you want it when aiming down the sight. Just keep in mind that aiming down sight in games often take some time, but the second configuration is activated instantly, so it's easy to overshoot the aim the moment you start aiming if you overdo the "sensitivity" in the second configuration
Stick intensity
The
Stick intensity field lets you assign buttons that change the intensity of the emulated analog sticks. Since most people will have the left stick bound to WASD, this is a handy function for changing the walking/running speed in games that would specifically require it (stealth games among others)
For example, the mouse scroll wheel is basically two buttons, so you can bind both mouse wheel up (
BUTTON_WHEELUP) and mouse wheel down (
BUTTON_WHEELDOWN) to the respective fields to increase and decrease the left stick intensity whenever you want.
In the picture above, the
Dead zone is set to
31 with
3 Steps of intensity and a circular dead zone shape, meaning you can set the intensity to 127, 95 and 63 using your mouse scroll wheel (127 being the default, max intensity)

Hope that explains the Overall tab. Oh wow, I also realize I've basically written half the calibration and configuration tutorial in this thread here. Might as well copy-paste it to the Tutorial section soon

thanks again
Sure, I'll post my configs in the
Configurations and Requests section a bit later on.
