Incorrect advice. Set your mouse at it's most accurate DPI.
Eg I have a zowie Ec2 Evo with avago 3090 sensor. The most accurate DPI just happens to be 2100 on this which is the highest. but on mice like logitech g400 it's 800DPI yet it's maximum DPI is like 1800 (can't remember exactly).
As long as your a 6/11 in windows and the mouse speed is comfortable for you in your daily use you are fine. It's all then just in game adjustments.
Aye, I suppose if we are going to sing its praises we have to voice the flaws.
MM with randoms is ultimately flawed. I agree totally with what you say and it does seem to be more intense in CSGO, maybe it is because you are thrown together and so dependant on each other in that little pack of five?I use "Block Communication" a lot and it can sometimes salvage a game from going totally **** up, if it starts to head that way.
I've started to get a bit bored of CSGO, despite the direction Valve is taking with the game, which I actually approve of. I think it's because I don't have time to play regularly so my skills are fading rapidly. I was at DMG rank, but after months of not playing I returned and was surprised at how bad I was, and how many angry russians made me aware of this fact The other problem is I don't really find CSGO fun at a really casual level. Maybe I need to try TF2 or something... or is TF2 a total spamfest?

hmmmm must be why virtually every pro player on the circuit using an ec2 uses 450.

Because it feels the same as an MS intelli mouse at that DPI I think was the first reason then it just caught on.
The reason I am using 450 DPI is because it makes my mouse wheel red which means everything in my rig is colour coded red, black and white from chair to monitor to components (except my z87x-oc in blooming orange..close enough when bathed in red light)

Don't agree. Use what is comfortable to you. 8000dpi is too high, granted, but you do not have to play with 450 dpi and 2 sens because the pros use it. Coming close to that GENERALLY provides better performance but not everybody uses the mouse in the same way. Some manage to slide their whole arm, some use their wrist only. I was a worst only guy, but I have incorporated some arm movement in my play. Still not as good as I want but my aim is better.
Not really sure what you mean about most accurate DPI. The higher the DPI the smoother your mouse movement will be. Yes, if you raise your DPI it will feel way too fast for some people.....that is why you then adjust your in-game sensitivity. This then compensates the high DPI so the end result is a smooth mouse movement achieved from high DPI combined with lowered sensitivity ingame to suit your play style.
The higher the DPI means the hardware is more accurate. The result is that it will tell the difference between point A and point B much better.
Having the hardware determine what is going on is better than pretending with software.
For example - with 5000 DPI or any high DPI setting, you can set software lower and your cursor will follow the path your mouse takes more accurately than if you had the lowest DPI. Setting it at somewhere in the middle does not make any sense. Setting the DPI to anything less than maximum will not be 'more accurate.' The one and only instance this might not be true is if you are using an extremely low resolution monitor.

lol whatever makes you happy. All this money on skins, a pretty mouse makes sense
The pulse light on a sensai distracts me personallyI was using my wrist balanced on the desk edge, but I copied the stance of forearm on desk as I think it help fatigue and also introduce arm movement not just wrist. Unfortunately the desk is junk, ergonomics is the only thing stopping me now
I think that might be a fallacy and also depends on the mouse sensor quality. Some are just applying internal acceleration at higher dpi apparently
Iam using 3/11 1800dpi but I might go back to 6/11 and do 900dpi but it works now anyway despite it being 'wrong' so people should go try everything and find what works for them
I dont think its like csgo. More lag, or leading shots needed. Every weapon bar sniper has splash damage, more melee and trick shots.
Age is no excuse, theres a global elite who plays with zero sound and a Legendary eagle master born without hands, just uses part of an upper arm to play on a mx518

Tracking at speed could be hurt when at higher a higher DPI, i guess. There's a real lack of proper testing of mice though, we need proper bench tests.

I too have been a worst movement player and have been trying to move my arm more too, well you are forced too when lowering your sensitivity. Anyway I had never actually consciously realised the two pivot points.
Analysing my current mouse movement style, instead of a solid full wrist clamp down pivot, I now tend to use the little ball on the right side of my wrist as a temporary pivot position and use my arm when I lift of that pivot point.
My sensitivty now is 700 DPI and 1.8 in game settings.
I love that.

You wouldn't believe the essay I had just written and had to delete before posting in reply to Westie. My G-d I was going on, going into my gaming history, basically trying to explain how I got at that sensitivity.
Anyway would love to have a round or two with you guys sometimes. I don't use a mic and never have in FPS, thats another fear I might get over one day. I know it really necessary if you wanted your best chances in competive.
Added you b.t.w. not fully sure I would be able to carry you, though I am sure with Westie firming up we could do some damage. Would be good fun if we could make it so.
G-d I am a grown man, I love it though.
*Edit. I see you ingame there JG. I am not sure how to use the lobby system, never used it anyway.

It's a massive shame this wasn't kept updated. The work that went into it was pretty damn amazing. Extremely accurate review of the various DPI settings etc.

It would be nice to do 5v5 mixs with ocuk players.
Mouse topic: I have tried high dpi low dpi high sens and low sens in my cs life and I end up using 400 dpi 2 sens, its what works for me.
My only problem is that I speak spanish and I dont know the names of every position in english (creating some rage problems in mm lol) buti will eventually

Added you Joe.
I use 800dpi and 1.35 in game i think, possibly 1.4. Works for me. Also sent a friend request mate
Most people "should" still know where you mean though
Why no Phriend request for me Pauly? 
Steam ID:- FroggyHoof
Because I have no mic?
Been looking in Sound City this morning trying to work out the best headset, or headphone mic combo; any suggestions and what are you guys using?
I get scared talking on mics, stupid I know, I think I was traumatised through the eighties and the CB radio fad. Or maybe it was the saturday job at Safeways I had and the manager would force me to make announcements over the tannoy system. I am laughing but I have always avoided using on. Flipping 'eck, I can hear you guys telling me to man up.
