Apex Legends Mouse Setting Tip

    If you come from a different game like Call of Duty and you are used to that aim sensitivity then I highly suggest you go to this website and select what game you are the most used to and what game you want to convert it to.

For example in Apex legends you might use a mouse sensitivity of 5 and hit every shot.  

Then you simply go to this website 

https://gamepros.gg/mouse-sensitivity-converter

and fill in the blanks.

After inputting my DPI and current mouse settings from Apex it tells me to set my mouse sensitivity to 

23.33 in Call Of Duty : Modern Warfare.

This is the best thing to do if you switch between games a lot. The last thing you want to do is get used to a setting in one game and then go back to the other and you can't hit the broad side of a barn.

Let me know if this helped you aim a little better!

Download this file, unzip it, burn it like any other .iso to a CD, and boot it from the computer that has the GigaByte motherboard GA8I915pmd. 

Also only do this if you absolutely need to, e.g. motherboard not booting fully or any other issue that a bios update could fix.

Conclusion:

The 32GB version cost me only £24 which is £0.73 a GB. I don't have any other USB 3.0 drives so I can't say how this compares but I can say I won't need any other thumb drive any time soon. For the purposes I have this drive wins hands down. Turing the Sandisk Extreme 32GB into a multiboot live USB was incredible fast and easy and installing a distro took about 5 minutes each. If your looking for a speedy USB 3.0 thumb drive then I can honestly say look no further.

Disclaimer: 
Please don't expect fast speeds if you have a slow fragmented HDD and/or use it in a USB 2.0 slot.
