Is 1500 dpi high for FPS gaming? If i use 800, my mouse will go over my pad.

[MADMINK]

my wrist aches from strain on high sens, but my mouse pad is a little small. The pad is a little over a foot wide. I use a logitech g502 optical mouse at 1500 dpi/ 4.5 ingame sens

Use what you seem to play best with. People at different.

 

Personally I play with 500, but that is what I like, others may not.

It's very personal. I use 8k dpi and 1 in-game sense with the same g502.

should i constantly be lifting mouse for low dpi?

I usually play with fairly low DPI and sensitivity but I also have an extended mouse mat. How big is your mouse pad?

i've been using 1500 since my logitech MX518 was new

the setting remains at 1500 with my G500, and it'll probably remain when my G500 bites the dust.

 

try lowering in-game sensitivity a bit maybe, i recall hearing something like "from one side of your mousepad to the other you should rotate ingame 360 degrees"

 

and lifting mouse just happens

Lower dpi is less virtual pixels that the mouse moves across the screen with, so yes with a lower dpi you are going to need to move the mouse more especially with high resolution screens. What dpi you use is extremely personal, I use 6k but there are people that use higher or lower than that. A higher dpi is generally for rest gamers, so unless you feel comfortable only moving your rest for gaming go with something on the lower side.
