DPI and weight

[phil7990]

I am looking into a new mouse (small-medium hands since my hand is 16cm by 9cm). Right now I have the g203 but this mouse is old and the wire almost broke down.

I came across all sorts of DPI's and weights. What's up with that? Like does it benefit if you buy a mouse that goes to 25k dpi and you only play from 800-1000 dpi?
And the weight, is it advicable to buyu a mouse that is heavier? I don't wanna fatigue my wrist, but somebody that I know said that I'll get used to the heavier weight. This true?

If available go to a local store to test out several mice if they have a display. This will help.

If not, I would suggest a mid-tier mouse with a common weight. That will be your best bet if none of the DPI/Weight matters to you.

you can get used to heavier weight, ligher mouse can be preferred because if you in games flick often it's much easier to flick a ligher mouse,

 

also on low sens ligher mouse might feel better

 

as for DPI again, mostly marketing strat to advertise for high DPI,

 

all you really need is between 400-3200 DPI approx,

I love my G502! So much so that I bought a spare mouse just in case ( on sale ) this one breaks.

It comes with adjustable weights.

Thank you for your answers, I know what to do!

New sensors that get better can do higher DPI so that's that. But what's important is that it's a good sensor, which most are nowdays in decent mice.

Weight yeah lighter makes sense especially for multiplayer games.
