Mouse dpi question

[15Evan15]

I want a mouse but it has a 6000 dpi. Isn't that wayyyyy to high? Could I lower it in settings or something?

You can lower the speed in Windows, but depending on the mouse, it'll have ways to lower the DPI on the mouse itself.

whatss a good gaming dpi?

Lower it via the driver the mouse came with, or if it's driverless, there should be a physical button to switch between DPI presets. Always use 6/11 in the Windows mouse settings.

Whatever you feel the most comfortable with.

Usually something in the range of 800-1500.

Some people even prefer a lower or higher DPI than that. For example I usually play at around 2500 DPI.

You could lower the Windows sensitivity, but it's not generally recommended unless your mouse happens to actually perform better at a higher DPI and you have no other option. This mostly hasn't been relevant in like 10 years due to highly adjustable DPI and mouse being generally less buggy.

 

There is no such thing as "good gaming DPI", regardless of what someone might tell you. What you might have is mice that use software tricks to achieve higher values of DPI or more precise values of DPI. In those cases, they would perform worse at these "non-native" values of DPI.

 

This is where a bunch of people start screaming about 400 dpi because pros use it. Which they do for teh same reason they use lower screen resolutions; it's something they are used to using from times when 1080p wasn't a thing and 400 dpi was all you got.

why do they make the mouse 6000

Cause higher numbers sound better. It's for marketing.

I already decreased it a lot. A few years ago I was at 4300. But now I'm getting old ._.''

because of marketing. High DPI sounds impressive. They can say super accurate or super sensitive 6000 DPI sensor. Or crap like that.

 

6000 DPI is an odd max dpi, whats the name of the mouse? let me look it up.

does the razor death adder have adjustable dpi?

does the razor death adder have adjustable dpi?

Yes of course.

Usually all gaming mice have. I have never seen a gaming mouse that doesn't have a driver to adjust its DPI.
