Heavy Mouse or Light Mouse?

What do you prefer? And why?

 

I personally prefer a heavier mouse as I like having to put a little effort into moving the mouse, rather than the slightest twitch moving a light mouse. I also find that heavy mice feel a lot more sturdy and better quality.

Adjustable weights are nice. I have them with my mouse and use all the weights xD

Same here with my G9x. It feels more solid.

I have it at max dpi and it's not enough >.>

5700 is not enough for you?

Oh god, I couldn't deal with max DPI on mine. Even at around 40% it takes about an inch of movement to get across three screen.

I use both a heavy and a light mouse. I don't know where my preferences rest tbh.

Nope. Maybe 10,000-15,000 would be more appropriate.

Nah. I just have 3 monitors and I prefer to operate lightly with precision instead of sweeping my hand back and forth. 

For 4k, I'd probably want 20,000+ dpi but that's just speculation though.

i use 3500 for 2 monitors, and i never have to move my wrist. your hands must be very controlled and steady

I guess so. Just try raising the dpi a bit every other day. I generally just raise it by 500 more dpi whenever I feel like it until I hit that max. Now I want more.  :P
