Typically, I play with my mouse sensitivity really high, but when using certain weapons (sniper rifles, MANA AV turret) I want to drastically reduce the sensitivity. Is there a way to bind a keyboard key to reduce/increase sensitivity. I have a Microsoft IntelliMouse that cost about $5, so I don't have any special mouse options that one would have with a "gaming mouse". I'm asking specifically about Planetside 2 here, but if there's a general solution that would work with other games, I'd be happier with that. Thanks! 🙂

The suggested SkyrimPrefs.ini i was using was the wrong one.
Using Process Monitor i was able to figure out that the correct one is:
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\SkyrimPrefs.ini
e.g.
C:\Users\Ian\Documents\My Games\Skyrim\SkyrimPrefs.ini
Changing [Controls]\fMouseHeadingSensitivity to
fMouseHeadingSensitivity=0.1250 (new)
fMouseHeadingSensitivity=0.0125 (old)
did the trick.
The 100% refers to the maximum speed that Starcraft 2 will move the pointer.
At 50% (with no pointer acceleration) for every one mouse count your computer will move the pointer one pixel on your screen, a 1:1 ratio.
While the slider may read 50% it may actually be set to 49.5% instead. However windows only recognizes 20 different mouse settings which correspond to 5% intervals so this value is rounded down.
By setting SC2's in game sensitivity to between 51%-54% one can ensure that SC2 will be utilizing a 1:1 ratio exactly.
As Ampersand says, disabling "Enable Mouse Sensitivity" results in Starcraft using the OS mouse settings and not the internal SC2 settings.

There is nothing built in within Windows to achieve what you want, but it's certainly possible. External applications can aid you with this.
An example is Mouse Speed Switcher. AutoHotKey is also viable if you'd like to program that yourself.
