After using a mouse with high dpi I couldn't stand one with low dpi it's just too slow.

The advantage of high dpi is I don't need to stretch my arm fully for my mouse cursor to reach the other end of the screen (21" screen not a big screen but not small either) I only need to move it slightly which is perfect for me since else I would always find my mouse stuck somewere on my desk when playing multiplayer then rage when I can't move the mouse properly (Which happens sometimes because of my xbox 360 joystick).

Some people like myself don't have huge spaces on their desk and high dpi is the perfect solution.

And anyways they are cheaper now you have no excuse!! why should I stretch half my arm to move the cursor from one side to the other?

Or you could just raise the sensitivity in-game/in the windows options, instead of raising DPI.

Thats not the same at all.

To get across my whole Screen, I need to pull my mouse like 2-3 cm over my mousepad.So while People with the usual mice with about 800 dpi throw their mouse around their table like crazy to turn and such I just give a little impulse to my arm and I aim where I want to aim.


Once you go high dpi, you never want to go back.

Well you guys getting me horny with all the dpi talk... I never really knew what the difference between high dpi and high sensitivity is, but it sure sounds like it's worth it.

[B3RS3RK]

DPI and Sensitivy both mean a longer Onscreendistance traveled per cm mouse movement, however more DPI also increase accuracy, which is really important for example shooters.

Damn. Well I own an MX518, was thinking of getting G400 which has double the dpi.

[B3RS3RK]

Well the mx518 already has 1800 dpi, hasnt it?

It really depends on your preferences.I use 2000dpi atm and Its very nice to play for example CSS or BF3 because once you get used to it, you will be aiming a lot quicker than an enemy with a lot less dpi.

Im trying 3600dpi now, though.

Yep 1800 dpi. G400 has 3600. Was thinking of getting it then just lowering my sensitivity by about half (because I already play most of my games on high sens). That in turn should increase smoothness and precision I guess?

[B3RS3RK]

Yep it will.

[Vibe]

So what's better, lowering sens or dpi or finding the right balance, and why?

[B3RS3RK]

I cant explain it very well because Im no expert, but as far as I know increasing sensitivy makes your mouse skip pixels on the screen, decreasing accuracy, while DPI doesnt do such a thing.

So its better to put your sensitivy down to half and get a mouse with more DPI if you care for Accurate mouse movement.

Ah I imagined it was something like that. Anyway, I ordered a Razer Deathadder now

Good choice
