Can you untick DPI2, DPI3 and DPI4?

Done.
Feels a bit slow though.
Just a tad but it somehow feels slower.

If you raise it to 300 and net_graph 1 shows > 60 fps then you know that vsync is disabled.


1?
I used 3 since that's the one Blinx mentioned.

300 is the normal setting, if it is any lower then you may have used a config or something at some point.


...
I don't think so...
Not sure.
No idea what that is.

....I'm such a pain in the ass....

The DPI is the "Dots Per Inch" the higher the number the more reads the mouse does over an inch of movement.

You should be keeping mouse speeds centred and adjusting the DPI as needed. This is the optimal way because the DPI change is often done at a hardware level, whilst the software will interpolate / discard reads with that slider setting.

As a guide I use 1600dpi at a tf2 sensitivity of 3.0

I've tried the settings you just mentioned.
Feels slow but I can give it a try.

I wanted to work out what DPI you were currently using as you didnt know. You may have been using 2000dpi which is fine.

I would untick all except 2000dpi and possibly try using an ingame sensitivity of 2.6 to 3.5 it is hard to know what kind of turning circle you are currently using as you did not give an answer.

I would assume if it was 2000dpi with an ingame sens of 5 then it would be very high sensitivity. You would benefit from learning to lower your sensitivity slightly.

Since they were all ticked for some reason (like I said, I didn't touch anything), I have no idea what was being used.

I've unticked all but the first and tried setting it to what you suggested as well as the TF2 settings.

Since Steam went down for a while, I couldn't get a game tonight but I'll try it out tomorrow.

All you need to do now is verify that you can get over 60fps so that we know vsync is disabled and we can then move onto some TF2 setup tips. (FOV setting, hit sounds, weapon quick switches etc)

It is pointless giving gameplay tips until the basic setup errors are sorted. Your aim is well below average and getting these settings correct will help targetting / tracking enemies.

Have a go at this aiming game http://aim400kg.ru/train/?a=ea&ln=en and post your Score / Hits / Misses / Missed Targets / Total Targets / Aiming Speed

Will be interesting to see how you can cope with the pressure and accuracy.

Just as a comparison I managed

199 hits
37 misses
39 missed targets
243 total targets
aiming - 0.609 sec

This isn't exactly fair if you just lowered your mouse sensitivity though, but it shows you reactions / mouse control accuracy are down compared.

- Disable mouse acceleration.
- Make sure you have absolutely no vsync. Note that Windows Aero has build in vsync on every window so you must disable Aero if you're running TF2 in windowed mode. See http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Team_Fortr ... bling_Aero
- Lower your sensitivity until you can hit something.
- Install fps config. The simplest graphics settings are the most beautiful and make everything much more clear. Try https://chrisdown.name/tf2/ or http://steamcommunity.com/groups/stabby ... 656062937/
- Learn to strafe. You should newer press w in mid air.
- Learn to rocket/sticky jump. Try playing jump maps: 85.114.153.234:10100
- Don't just rush in. Stick with your team.

Also "playing since 2010" doesn't mean anything if you have played only 200 hours.
