That’s not the point either. When switching from 1000 dpi to 500 you just have to double your sensitivity.
He clearly didn’t get cross-calculation.
Just changed mine from 1.3 @ 1800 dpi to 5.85 @ 400 dpi (keeping same cm/360 value) and It feels a bit better when making fast hand movements (or it could be placebo and its all in my head).
I’m still shit though so nothing changed

Well naturally I thought it would be like that if I just go from 2000 to 1000dpi, but for some reason it was not that simple. The feeling was just not the same because the whole charasteristics of the mouse changed when lowering the DPI and had to find the new “sweetspot” again.
high dpi only benefits players using a high in-game sensitivity, ie,. sensitivities beyond 6@400, so anything between 2 and 5 @ 400 dpi doesn’t benefit at all from a higher dpi
This thread really isn’t helping me! I use a very high DPI and low in game sense. I have a small mousemat and take about 18-20cm for a 180. I have different sens in my config for different classes too, not huge differences as it just felt wrong, but a slightly lower one on scout than solly for instance.
Would it be better to swop it round and go lower DPI and higher ingame sense?
Brain….hurts….
If you’re talking about mice, DPI is the wrong term.
Yes, manufacturers use it. They are wrong too.
DPI is dots per inch, it measures resolution (how detailed a scan is, for example), it has precisely nothing to do with movement or computer mice.
Try CPI instead ;)
