What DPI do you use.

[Wing-Man]

mice now is capable if insane DPI's how do people use them?
I have my 502 set to 1500, but know people say they run over 2500, how and why?

it may just be my as im old or is there a way to use very high DPI but slow the speed down.

 

[Yaayuh!]

1200
Haven't changed mine in over a decade, it's what i'm used to and comfortable with. Which is what matters really.

ive always been a 1200 guy but i have UW screen now and found my self lift the mouse a lot, 1500 did take a day or 2 to adjusts to but its ok now.
i just cant even imagine using anything like 2500

650

1600 in Windows because I have a 42" monitor. 400-800 in most games.

400-800 in most games.

that's the opposite of with i expected, can i ask why you drop low for games

 

[something daft already!!]

4500

4500

lol how that as to move so fast

 

[Glanza]

1600 it's one of the default settings on my mouse that at 4k is fast enough for my old age

4000 in windows and 1600 in games. 32:9

how do you use a massive dpi like this, it as to be so fast.

 

[Zeebedy]

Yeah, 1600 here.

Just preference, honestly. I feel I can be more precise in FPS games and usually run about 800. I have a large mousing surface and just find that I overshoot targets with my DPI set too high. Maybe I could practice but I just don't have the time and I don't play twitch shooters anyway.

I sometimes play with about 1600 in games where I don't need as precise control just to speed up how quickly I can move the mouse across the screen.

400 DPI here matched up with sensitivity 6. The opposite of what a lot of people go for.

Less wrist action then. You have to be accurate though or a miss click is possible.

 

[Wing-Man]

I’m just thing if you set dpi high but lower the mouse speed in games would this be better than a low dpi with high mouse speed settings

 

[haaammit]

800 for gaming, and to keep muscle memory, I use that for general use as well. Used to have a really high dpi, but lower dpi gives me less wrist ache as the whole arm moves.

 

[PaulM]

Same, used to use 2000 but now switched to 800 and move mouse with arm rather than flicking wrist.

 

[Dark Light]

12000 on original g502, with sensitivity turned down a little and cursor set to half.

 

[Avathar77]

I use 3200.
