Can you change the DPI on your mouse? 400 is a little slow for some games.

Anyway My mouse can switch DPI so it can go from 600 to 3600.

I remember reading that there's a piece of software for my mouse that allows me to change the DPI on the fly, but I never installed it. With mouse acceleration disabled, I'm pretty comfortable with the mouse speed at it's default settings, though I have lowered it to the fourth speed setting recently (in Windows mouse settings) to keep the mouse speed consistent in games that don't have in-game mouse settings.

5600. Not really necessary, but eh. It's nice to be able to brag.

Not really understanding the question. DPI setting helps control speed and acceleration. So higher DPI does not really warrant bragging rights. Mine supports up to 5700, but that is way too fast, even on my 52" hdtv. And I would argue setting a DPI too high for your screen size would make it less precise, less controllable.

The real power of a mouse's precision is polling rate. Mine is set at 250 samples per second. It goes up to 1000.

I've read that it's supposed to increase accuracy, yes. I have done it, but I can't notice a difference.

400 and only, 400 is ideal. Low sensitivity is better especially for hitscan weapons.

Is using on the fly sensetivity allowed in tournaments? My g500 can do it but I have never used it. I suppose it could be good for lowering it when the enemy was further away.

Mine's set somewhere between 500 - 1000 or so. Can't remember what exact setting. The thing goes all the way up to 5700, which I'm pretty sure I'd never have a use for.

Like, 2000? My lowest DPI setting is around 600 I believe. It's impressive how a lot of developers program their games for $5 mice - as I have to often turn the sensitivity down to 0 just to have a useable sensitivity - even on my lowest DPI setting.

:question:

Obviously those in the industry of creating mice (such as Razor) are cranking out high-DPI mice and then advertise the fact to make them seem better than mice with slightly less DPI, when in reality there's probably not much advantage of having a mouse with 6000DPI over a mouse that has only 2000.

Yeah I used to think that my old HP mouse was fine. I played over 500 hours of counter-strike without a gaming mouse, and as soon as I started using this Razer Deathadder I felt the difference. Idk weather its the laser or the dpi but its a lot better that just a standard mouse.

Gaming mice certainly provide a huge advantage over non-gaming mice.

On the contrary, most top-end Quake players use around 400 DPI with a gigantic mouse pad. It's worth it for the increased precision.
