so effectively DPI is just a representative of how many pixels your mouse moves on the screen for each inch you move it on the pad. changing sensitivity on a program that doesn't touch the hardware on the mouse will simply divide or multiply that pixel distance. so in short; all changes of dpi or sensitive all do the same thing (in different ...
Alright guys so currently i have a Razer Abyssus mouse that im using at 1800 dpi. I might be getting a SS Sensei RAW soon and obviously SS mice use cpi instead of dpi. I couldnt really find a solid sure answer on this question. I know cpi and dpi mean the same thing, but are they the same thing? As in is 1800 dpi literally the same sensitivity ...
It's probably placebo, or my mouse's DPI gets higher the more its scaled up (like 400 DPI actually being ~409 DPI and getting higher as it goes), but either way, I think my cursor's movements look better on 1600 DPI. I'm aware that past a certain point, higher DPI doesn't make a visual difference depending on resolution, FOV, and in/360.
Unless you have played with high dpi for at least 6-8 months, all of sudden going from 400 dpi to 2400 or whatever will just make your mouse feel really wierd, even if you lower your sensitivity to compensate. finally, in windows, high dpi just sucks, unless you have very low windows sensitivity because it becomes so sensitive. 6/11 = 1 5/11 = .75
I use 1200-1600 depending on the game.1200 DPI in FPS games, and 1600 DPI for everything else, including Dota 2. I find that I have just adapted to a certain amount of movement in FPS, and my muscle memory doesn't mess up if I switch between Dota and CSGO, because I use a completely different style of grip when I play other games, that are not FPS.
The scalar for 5/11 is .75 so yes 800 DPI and 5/11 is the same sensitivity as 6/11 and 600 DPI. Save Share ...
You should get a big mouse pad and get use to playing at 400-800 dpi if you want to get better. If you play casually then do whatever you want. For RTS and MOBA, you need some precision so 1100-1350 or so is pretty good.
It's not only about the response of the mouse, it's about the smoothness too. You'll have a more smooth pattern at an higher polling rate, and the difference between 125 hz and 500 hz is highly noticiable in term of smoothness, for me at least. the difference between 500hz and 1000hz is hardly noticiable for me tho.
Increasing your DPI to 1000-1600 DPI over 400-800 has benefits, for example modern sensors like 3360 and HERO react faster at higher dpi. Being consistent with a high dpi low sens setup would be harder than vice versa, but it would theoretically allow for more precision as well. In shooters with inventory management, higher DPI is immensely ...
1600 is my normal In-game DPI, then flicking down to 600 or 800 via the DPI switch when precision aiming. I personally can't stand the 3600 DPI setting on my mouse, way too quick for my liking. (For reference I use a Sharkoon Fireflider )
