Let's see...

1. What is your Windows mouse pointer speed? 7/11
2. What is your osu!'s mouse sensitivity? 0.7x
3. Did you enable the "Precision Mode" in osu! ? Nope
4. What is the DPI of your mouse? (or what DPI you are using when playing?) 1800 dpi
5. What kind of mouse you are using? A4 X7 series, XL750-MK. Cheap enough and fun :3
6. What is your osu!'s screen resolution? 1024x768
7. Do you prefer fullscreen or windowed mode? Windowed
8. How do you hold/grip your mouse? Claw grip
9. What is your mousepad? None. "Bare" desk works better w/laser mouse from my experience.
10. What are your problems/issues while you're playing? Hand/finger cramps on overly long and fast streams (matter of training), streams with notes placed too far away. Jumps stopped being a problem after fine-tuning dpi (was 2000).

...I guess I'm too far from top to rely on my advice :D

A question: Is wireless worse, in what aspect? i have only played osu with wireless so i cant compare, recommendations to improve are welcomed :)
Wireless mouses aren't for gaming, let alone osu!.
What were you thinking?! :o
Wireless mouses aren't nearly as agile as wired ones, nor are they as responsive.

Did some changes and started to practice mouse-only today so

1. What is your Windows mouse pointer speed? 6/11
2. What is your osu!'s mouse sensitivity? 1.0x
3. Did you enable the "Precision Mode" in osu! ? No
4. What is the DPI of your mouse? (or what DPI you are using when playing?) http://puu.sh/GW1R (previously 800dpi)
5. What kind of mouse you are using? Logitech G400
6. What is your osu!'s screen resolution? 1024x600 (previously 1366x768)
7. Do you prefer fullscreen or windowed mode? Windowed (previously Fullscreen)
8. How do you hold/grip your mouse? Palm (previously inbetween palm and claw)

New problem is that my mouse tends to hit the keyboard which is just next to my mousepad while playing and getting used to moving my whole arm with this new sensitivity.

1. 6/11, "Enhance pointer precision" is disabled (this setting gives me a 1:1 mouse movement)
2. 1.6x
3. No
4. 400 dpi maybe? I have a cheap mouse at the moment
5. Standard USB mouse
6. 1366x768
7. Full screen
8. Claw grip, too bad the mouse is too small
9. A cheap stereotype mousepad, there's a wrist pad on it, but i don't use it
10. Mouse: Thou shalt not pass!, yep, small cheap mouse is my problem when playing, sometimes it make me miss a jump, not sliding properly when streaming etc.

I'm currently saving money to buy Elephant Dragunov or Razer Abyssus if i can. I just need a better mouse.
kikones34
1. What is your Windows mouse pointer speed? Max. (With mouse precision enabled)
2. What is your osu!'s mouse sensitivity? 3.0x
3. Did you enable the "Precision Mode" in osu! ? Yep.
4. What is the DPI of your mouse? (or what DPI you are using when playing?): I could not figure this out. But for sure it's a pretty low DPI (with Windows max speed the cursor moves a bit slowly, compared to other mouses I had)
5. What kind of mouse you are using? Emachines Ps/2 Optical Mouse (Nothing special)
6. What is your osu!'s screen resolution? 1336x768
7. Do you prefer fullscreen or windowed mode? Fullscreen, but I find the spinners easier in windowed mode :o
8. How do you hold/grip your mouse? Huh.. One finger in each side, one finger in each button, and one finger in the wheel xD (anyway I don't use the mouse buttons)
9. What is your mousepad? (or where do you place your mouse?): In a scribbled paper (It's better than the osu! mousepad)
10. What are your problems/issues while you're playing? (e.g can't spin well, that jumps, streams...): Maybe I have a bit of trouble with the spinners, but generally I play very well with this settings.

So this is it. Hopefully I helped :)

It was an old feature which is now removed and it's now forced enabled which means it's always on.

1. My windows pointer speed is 7 out of 11. However, I did use the MarkC mouse fix which removes ALL mouse acceleration, EVERYWHERE. Really helps a ton.

4. Not sure.
5. A basic run-of-the-mill Logitech mouse.
6. 1920x1080
7. Fullscreen
8. Like a normal person. I place my hand on the mouse, my pointer finger on LMB and my middle and ring fingers on RMB.
