Mouse DPI

[ItsMinJunLol]

Hi guys! I want to know what mouse DPI and in-game sensitivity is best. I know this is personal, but what is the 'pro' mouse DPI and in-game sensitivity or total SI (DPI*IG sensetivity)? Also, what do you guys use? Thanks!

The quality of the sensor is more important than how fast you can move the mouse across the screen. A bad sensor will just be jumpy.

 

Your sensitivity in games depends on the games you play. FPS players from the old days had old mice with low dpis (400) for their old monitors, and they use big mousepads to move their whole hands since it's so slow otherwise. New "pros" try to train themselves in that technique even though it's outdated.

 

Your settings should be whatever works for you. Just make sure you're using a quality mouse if you want the best performance/accuracy/responsiveness.

soo what do you suggest for a 1440x900 monitor and a G303 (pretty sure has best sensor)? I believe ppl usually use 400 dpi and 2 sensetivity or 800 dpi of u got raw mouse.

Same, I put mine at 2000 dpi and 11 sensitivity and I barely move my mouse but ppl say it's better to move the mouse a lot.

IMO it varies between games, and the in-game settings (e.g. sensitivity) that you use -- you have to choose what gives you the BEST results for you.

For an example, with me (Logitech G9x and a 1920x1200 screen), I have different profiles for some of the common games I play:

• BF4: 600 / 650 / 700 DPI
• Rainbow Six Siege / DOOM (2016): 250 / 350 / 450 DPI
• Starcraft II: 1400 / 1600 / 1800 DPI
• Day-to-day in Windows (Also my Crysis 3 profile?): 1400 / 1800 / 2200 DPI

Ok, Thanks!

I use around 1700 dpi on a 1920x1080. That's what works for my setup (not a lot of arm room). Before that I was using another mouse at 1600.

 

So for your resolution I'd probably be around 1100-1300. But that's just what's comfortable for me in games. As long as you can get a headshot quickly then that's your dpi.
