Posted February 27, 2015 Hey guys, So for the past 9 years I have been using my Logitech MX500. But lately I had to increase the sens on all my games to the max, because it felt too slow. I am upgrading from a 17" 1080p to the Asus Swift. And I was thinking of getting the G400, since it is the same shape I have been using for over 13 years, but the DPI is only 4000. Will that low level be affected or noticeable as opposed to what I am used to?

That 4000 dpi (even 3200 dpi) is still insanely high for many applications albeit gaming or just using your computer. Bert & Ernie before squirting spermie.

Posted February 27, 2015 I went from a 1080p screen to 4k and didn't touch a thing. I have my dpi set to about 1800-2400. I like it on the low side for competitive fps. I noticed no difference in my overall mouse use when I made the monitor change.

Posted February 27, 2015 I use 800dpi at 1440p, takes a good 2 wrist flicks to do a 360, but its extremely accurate I used to be a high DPI gamer till I realised what the pros did, and after I got used to it, I improved massively Desktop - Corsair 300r i7 4770k H100i MSI 780ti 16GB Vengeance Pro 2400mhz Crucial MX100 512gb Samsung Evo 250gb 2 TB WD Green, AOC Q2770PQU 1440p 27" monitor Laptop Clevo W110er - 11.6" 768p, i5 3230m, 650m GT 2gb, OCZ vertex 4 256gb, 4gb ram, Server: Fractal Define Mini, MSI Z78-G43, Intel G3220, 8GB Corsair Vengeance, 4x 3tb WD Reds in Raid 10, Phone Oppo Reno 10x 256gb , Camera Sony A7iii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels really strange at first but once you get used to it, its SO much better. It also forces you to have much better habits in pre-aiming htings instead of relying on your flick-shooting.
