Does it matter how much DPI i use? ( Does it affect effectivnes of accuracy????)

[Lumicko]

So im rly confused if i should use 800 or 1600 DPI or different number ( in game mouse sensitivy 1 ) and i have Logitech G400 mouse. I heard that if i use lower dpi ( 800 for example ) then im more accurate at long/medium distance is that true? I want to know if its just about preference or if that rly apply.. ( Personally i like more 1600 i think.. With 800 it takes me quite long to turn back

DPI is dots-per-inch, with a DPI setting of 800 your mouse will see 800 points in 1 inch. With a DPI of 1600 ,your mouse will see 1600 per inch. So essentially with higher dpi comes finer tuned movement.

But, why people say lower dpi is more accurate is because, the higher dpi you have to faster your mouse movements will be, so essentially all those people are saying "Use low sensitivity, it makes you move accurate" which is certainly true, now what to use? I myself use 1200 DPI on my mouse, why? Because most games don't support a low enough sensitivity option to keep my desired sensitivity.

So what should you do? Just test around. I recommend keeping your sensitivity low. If you put it very high, you maybe can turn around fast, but small adjustments become very hard to accurately make. And accuracy is a very large factor in winning a gun fight.

Just find something that initially feels good, then stick with it. :)

Use the one you always used. You can have a fast sensitivty and still be accurate at long range. You just need to use the same and train with it.

Possibily ,but when I went from 3200 to 1200. My accuracy literally doubled.

It's no secret that most of the pros use low sensitivity. It took me a day or two after changing my sensitivity from incredibly high to low- to get used to my reflexes. Be patient after switching.

I still can't believe how high mine used to be. I literally moved micrometers and made sharp reactions with millimeter mouse movement. Not to mention high sensitivity made me grip my mouse hella hard. I don't think my mouse ever even moved more than a few inches during a game, that's how sensitive. Now, everything is smooth and easy. I also have a relaxed mouse grip(usually).

Ok I found the numbers lol. 3600 DPI + Mouse sensitivity set to 10 in CSGO.

sen·si·tiv·i·ty (jeez what a weird looking word)

Probably cuz 3200 is too high...

No one can tell you what your comfortable with, just have experiment and find what DPI your good with.

[Steep - SL345Y]

I use 400, it's great.

[Lumicko]

Thx for the advices :P.. I will try the 1200 it seems pretty good

You should never need your sensitivity so high you can turn around quick, cause if someone is behind you, your dead already. As long as you can confortablly do a 180!

But speed is not so important.

I found musle memory is easier with a slower speed. As for accuracy, that comes with "focused" practice.

Use the workshop map training_aim_csgo while making adjustments so you can see if there is an improvment or not.

I myself have settled on 800dpi, windows sens 6/11 and in game sens 1.4

You should use the best DPI setting for your mouse, which is different for all of them (they don't perform the same on different settings).

Increasing DPI and then lowering ingame sens until the speed is the same will make the crosshair have smaller movements. E.g. 800 dpi with 1.5 sens will have smaller increments than 400 dpi with 3.0 sens, but at slower sensitivies it doesn't make much difference.

Where to adjust the windows sensitivy? I went to control panel then mice and there is the sensitivity but there isnt shown the number.. How to show it? Like the 6/11

it's the little tick marks. there should be 11 of them, so 6 ticks from the left is 6/11

[Lumicko]

Ah ok got it... have 6/11 sens :) im playing now at 1200 dpi and it seems good..

[76561199027406267]

3600 dpi in game 0.333
And 1600 dpi in game 1
And 2600 dpi in game 0.80

[Budi]

I heard that most of pro are playing with like 400-700 DPI.
