What DPI are you all using?
Up until last night I assumed a DPI of 3200 was normal. Since that’s the default setting on my mouse. My buddy laughed and told me to try 700-800 since that’s (what the pros use). I tried 800 and it felt insanely slow. I’m so use to 3200, when I switch to 800 it felt like I had to move my mouse wayyyy to much in order to move. But it does seem to help with more precise aiming.

So I’m curious what you all use. I’ve since set it to 1000 and that seems to be a little better now.

800 eDpi is good for csgo but not for Cod. Just try different sensitivities and chose one that you feel comfortable with

It depends on how you use your mouse, arm aimer? sure 800 dpi. Wrist aimer like me? try 5000 dpi and adjust in game sens appropriately. You want to be able to 180 properly

idek what my dpi is lol, i have a button i click that changes it so a set amount on my mouse, i can just click that a few times if i need to change my sens on the go

i use 800dpi, i read somewhere years ago that you should only use 400,800,1600,3200+ something to do with how the dpi works? ive always done that since and tbh it works for me. could be utter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ but if it works then don't change it lol

wrist aimer here. 1600 dpi , 5.5 sensitivity in game.

2400 and 25 in game lol.

im used to higher sensitivities and i turned the in game sensitivity down until i could do my 360s and actually land them.

i tuned it actually, multiple times in a row trying my shots and landing off center of a headshot and kept lowering it until i hit 25 which is my butter zone for the game apparently.

but that's just my preference, im able to actually use it, doesn't mean anyone else will.

i use my thumb and ring finger to move my mouse, my wrist is basically stationary btw.

I been using 800 dpi for like 4 years now and play low sens in basically any game I play, in MW2 i play with a 2.5 sens, which equals to 2000 eDPI (DPI * sens).
400 and 800 dpi are the most commen ones out there for gaming in general, as you said it helps with being precise which is what you need in most FPS

most pros will have a 360 rotation in 40-50 centimeters,use a combination of dpi+sensitivity so that your 360 rotation is 40 cm, also , turn relative on and if you ae playing on 16:9 , put it to 1.78 (your ADS speed matches with your hipfire speed, which is needed, trust me!) , mine is 800 DPI and 5 sens ingame, you may ask , why so slow ?! because pros care about precision, how are you gonna control the damn recoil ?! that is the biggest point of mouse over controller, we are giving up aim assist to have precise aim AND little to no recoil

I match every game's sens, I measure em by 360 rotation per centimeters, you might say there are websites that do this , but no, even the top ones are not accurate and there is non for single player or older games

900 DPI with in game set to 8.25

I play 4K resolution , 2400 dpi / 2,8 sens in game . I assume that all of you playing 1080p . not the same dpi/sens for 4K / 1440p or 1080p

dpi is universal.

it literally means dots per inch, as in how many laser dots are projected per inch on your mouse pad.

4k or 1080p it doesn't matter, you move the mouse an inch the dpi is always scaled to that inch.

Just a reminder: FOV affects mouse sensitivity A LOT.
I use 800 and 3 in game, 0.95 ads

dpi is universal...what isn't is your sens being relative or legacy which seems like you have no idea about! that is the only thing that have to be set different with different resolutions, I presume your ads sens is way slower than your hipfire sens, that messes up muscle memory , check this one up
