Mouse settings and DPI

[Mr.Red]

Hey guys !

I just bought myself a low budget Logitech mouse, the G400s gaming mouse.

I have had Logitech mice in the past and I love how simple they are and they feel nice since I use the "claw" grip.

I tried braking it in yesterday but with difficulty´s... :/
The sensitivity in game + the mouse´s dpi was giving me a headache.
I just couldnt find the right setting that fitted the old one so I didnt feel comfortable at all !

So today (at work ) I googled around and found out that it´s not as easy as it seems to set up your mouse for gaming.
things to take under note are the windows sensitivity of the mouse, the dpi setting on the actual mouse, the sensitivity ingame, the fov distance, the with of your screen e.c.t. ... e.c.t.....

Im a big fanboy of Mark "Phantasy" Pinney and I saw his setup was Windows sens: 6 Mouse dpi: 1000 and ingame sens: 2.6.

Im gonna try that tonight and see how that goes but then my question is, what´s your setup and what works best for you?

So, spill your gut´s, what mice you use and dpi settings + sensitivity ingame !

I use 5600 dpi with 0.18 ingame sens.


edit: ( [old dpi] x [old sens] ) / [new dpi] = [new sens]

My choice: Genious XScroll.

Simple and genious.
Maybe I'm a barbarian, but I dont care much about sensetivity or dpi. Mice must be smooth - that's all I need for fast and accurate aim.
This one working on me since 2009. Unkillable thing. I bought several mices in change to that, but ALWAYS I changed back to this one due to the new one broked. Even now, after so many years I'm holding it and only damage it has - it's a melted rubber cover of a wheel and erased inscription.

P.S. Mice does not matter much, hands matter more.
P.P.S please delete double post above, my net lags as hell, barelly loading pages.

Oh im still sad that my beloved Diamondback 3G (sponsorpaid ]:->) is dead... I used to play it, as far is i can think back, at 1500 DPI offline (hardware) and 0.6 ingame COD4 and BF2. Best mouse ever!!! Since I'm too shit right now i use a "Green Hornet" mouse (some asian/krazyfire shit)..... It doesnt even say how much dpi!

Windows sens default
DPI 800
Ingame sens 1.35

Mice: Razer DeathAdder 2013

 

[Mr.Red]

So in conclusion, is it better to have the dpi higher and the ingame sens lower or wise versa?
Maybe it´s just finding something that works, stick with it and get used to it....

I tried the dpi: 1000 and ingame sens: 2.6, works fine... Im gonna stick to it and train it until perfect... may take time but im a patient man !

got Logitech G500 set to max dpi - should be 5700dpi and ingame 1.5

 

[SkandalisT]

What is the point of having over 1200 dpi? Mice becoming uncontrollable.

 

[Ceeee]

That's again your opinion Skandalist.

Others get used to higher sens, others prefer lower... that simple.

 

[Bean]

ye I'm a big logitech fan aswell. I currently got g700 mouse.. simply amazing.

my normal dpi is 1600, ingame 2.5.

I use a steelseries sensei and it has a button to switch between 2 dpi settings, i use a lower one when im on desktop / not playing and i use the high one when i play and lower it with the ingame sensitivity.

imo depends on your mousepad...it should be big. after u got this mousepad, set the maximum dpi (even if its useless, atleast u use the mouse at its max)

then u set the minimum sentivity with the mouse buttons, and u go ingame. u should try different values until u find the good one, smooth and reactive, with movments that use 2/3 of the mousepad.

imo small movments u loose precision, and too big movments u risk reaching the end of the mousepad, which is a mess ingame, cuz u look like an autist

well my mouse is a razer lachesis, dpi 4000, ingame sens 1. mouse sens mini.

 

[KrazyFire]

I use Microsoft mouse 2.0 so smooth how the ball moves under my glass table

 

[Ryu]

correct me if i m wrong, i m not really in those computing thingies, but dpi =/ sensitivity????....

dpi means the reaction of your mouse, up to 1000 eyes couldn't see the diff (normaly, but well u never know what u do under panic, that's why i set it to max)

and sensitivity is a setting u got in ur mouse (the 2 top buttons), + ingame, via /sensitivity.

I have Razer Diamondback for like 5+ years this model

Works perfectly and i never used any special settings

 

[JetsonRay]

I bought a razer deathadder 2013 on a hint by our beloved uncle C and its great! Even thou I use quite a higher sens coz my mat is quite small

 

[TBerty]

Windows setting: 7/11
dpi: 400
ingame csgo: 2
ingame cod4: 1
Mouse: Razer Deathadder 2013

I'm playing with a Logitech G9x.

5700 dpi
1000 Hz poll rate
Windows sensitivity = 6 (middle)
Ingame sensitivity 1.05 (normal) and 0.85 (scope). I switch them ingame with a keyboard bind. When I play the scope, I raise sensitivity whenever I switch to the pistol and vice versa.

Ye, I know that's a pretty fast setting, but I'm used to it.

 

[Mr.Red]

Looks like a pretty solid setting there Beez, I guess as long as you stick to one speed and practice, it´s bound to feel natural in a while

Good to see you on the forums as well, throw in a "introduce yourself"
