That’s fine if you have a mouse that isn’t shite. I have a coworker who also does this, in his case via having the cursor speed jacked up as far as it’ll go in Control Panel. But the crap mouse he has on his PC means that the cursor now moves several pixels per sample. It’s impossible to move it one pixel at a time, which means some very small UI elements in inexpertly coded programs (like, just to name one example, our inventory control software) are smaller than the minimum movement distance and you can’t place the cursor on them to click them.
He seems to spend most of his day on reddit, though, so this apparently has not impacted his productivity much. Meanwhile, if I use his machine I just become Captain Keyboard Shortcut in self-defense.
I started doing it when I started getting bad tendonitis with a ball mouse in 1999. I could go all the way across my 19 inch screen in 2 inches either direction and my wrist flare ups went down by 75%.
I got used to it and still love it. I always get decent laser mice with a little indent for my thumb to take pressure off my wrist to move it left to right.
I have a connective tissue disease and have to be careful not to get overuse syndrome from too much KB and Mouse work and the speed setting lets me get my work done. Playing FPS games gets my mom called a lot of things because of my quick reaction times from these mouse settings. ಠ_ಠ
