Higher DPI means that you can achieve faster 1:1 pointer movement. If you move your mouse a certain distance with 2000DPI, it will move further than the same mouse movement at 1000DPI. If you want the 2000 to move as far as the 1000, you need to lower your mouse sensitivity, which can be seen as "more precision".Finray wrote:
Yeah, so if I have a lower DPI, it means I have to put the sensetivity up in games.Freezer7Pro wrote:

Rofl. No wonder in games my sensetivity is around half.
Also, does having a higher DPI mean, for example, if you're scoped in a rifle, you can adjust your aim better? It's hard to explain, but I move the mouse as little as possible, the it moves the crosshair by about a pixel or two or whatever, does having a higher DPI mean you can move it in smaller amounts?
In my eyes, however, lowering mouse sensitivity is just as bad as raising it. They involve adding to or ignoring mouse movement.
The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
