Another way for setting mouse speed

[Doug Sims]

I got a new desktop mouse yesterday and I love it, but the only problem
is that it has a 1000dpi optical sensor. So that means the sensitivity
is really high when I set it for my alphagrip, or my alphagrip moves
unbearably slow.
Which brings me to my suggestion.
I was looking through the autohotkey forums and noticed a post about a
guy that is using autohotkey to change registry values and system
settings with scripts. The problem he was having was setting mouse speed
and set pointer precision values.
I did some digging and I am trying to come up with a way to store the
current mouse speed settings (i.e. the settings for my desktop) and then
change the settings to work with my alphagrip.
Ideally it must restore back to the original settings when I exit or
suspend the script.
Any help in doing this would be appreciated, or if anyone has tried this
and know it doesn't work please let me know.
Here is the link that I am referring to:
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic9593.html&highlight=mouse+settings

Here is a microsoft developer page with more functions listed:

PS--Here is a link to the mouse I bought. Its on sale at staples right
now for $20. I already have one for my laptop, and my dad and uncle
bought one for theirs. So I picked another one up when I saw it on sale.

**Update**
I spent a few minutes yesterday coding up a few lines to allow me to
switch between my settings quickly. I have a rough solution that has
been working well for today and yesterday. I also experimented with the
message box function to tell me which setup is currently in use. I
hacked some of Carl's remap code (specifically the suspend command) to
help give me a quick way to switch between modes, and I have an initial
setup command that allows me to change my settings when Autohotkey
starts up (or not change them).
I understand that this is very similar to what Carl has done with the
mouse accelerator function he wrote, but that script gave me trouble
when used with my personal script. I also don't use his key remapping
(I use the default layout). Also, I should point out that this code
will not increase the speed of the mouse above the windows default
limits (at least I don't think it will).

If anyone wants the rough code, I'll be happy to share it. Basically, I
just took some sample code from the forums mentioned above and
integrated it with my current script.

If you go back and forth between AG and desktop use, then this is very
helpful.

I use a Razer mouse, and the software it comes with lets me tweak with
its sensitivity independant of the trackball.

I read about razor when I was looking at my latest mouse purchase. How
do you like it? I have read a lot of reviews that describe them as
'cheap feeling'. It seemed that the software was a favorite feature for
most people.

I'm sufficiently happy with my current setup. My new mouse is great, and
I can switch to my alphagrip easily whenever I need to. I have modified
my script a little here and there, and I am deciding on whether I want
the mouse switching functionality to be in a separate script from my key
remapping script.
Does anyone else use multiple scripts?
