What's a good DPI for a mouse?

[Braiboo99]

I just bought a new Corsair gaming mouse and trying to work out what is a suitable DPI, any tips?

when a display is higher refresh than 500hz, let me know

How very off topic.....

[_I_]

1ms / 1000hz is not even something you can see, unless its moving by at a very high rate, and all you see is a few blinks

i know every ms helps, when it has the latest data before creating the next frame
but from 500 to 1000 will add from 0 to 1 more ms
not a huge amount or enough to change anything, esp when human reaction time is far greater than that

We're not talking about monitor refresh rate or response times.

polling rate

clueless

I second this...

thats the only things the polling rate can really effect

dpi is just how many units the mouse tells the os it moved in 1in
windows mouse smoothing and speed tell it how far to move on the display

You'll have to forgive me but I can't reply just yet, I'm having trouble getting off the floor from laughing so much....

What funny? I didn't see any funny.

the fact that neither of you can grasp that display refresh rate is a completely separate thing that has no bearing on the device input latency and both the device input latency and the display latency are two wholly separate contributors to overall end-to-end system latency.

I'm sorry, but it is true. You can have 400 FPS games and 1000 Hz polling rate mouse, but they will be limited to 240 Hz display.

I'll go ahead and believe the NVIDIA Engineers over your obviously incompetent understanding of system latency.

Please show me your evidence first.

I wouldn't waste your time with him, he's extremely stubborn and never accepts when he's wrong even when you do show evidence, literally only shows up when he wants to cause mayhem, and throws jester awards at everyone who disagrees with him in general

Just ignore and throw jester awards back at him whenever he says something stupid.

It doesn't proved me wrong. Please show me evidence that you can see 1000 Hz and 400 FPS on the 240 Hz monitor.

Yes it does and the fact you keep saying "see 1000Hz" polling is obvious that have no idea what you are talking about.

Here it is again since you seem to fail at clicking that thread and then clicking the image

https://www.igorslab.de/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Latency-Scheme-1.jpg
(The above diagram is from the NVIDIA LDAT documentation on measuring total system latency)

Notice how those segments aren't "Stacked" ; like the "game latency" and "render latency" are within (and stacked ontop of) the "PC Latency"....

That is because they are separate things which again are

ADDATIVE

to total system latency. Increasing polling rate decreases the input latency from the input device; and thus reducing total end-to-end latency.

There is no need name calling. That is what block communication options is for.

Says the dude that literally calls people "crybaby woke" over completely unrelated steam arguments? Wow, incredible.

LOL he deleted the comment

Cool story hanz; you keep trying to "See" that polling rate bud. Make sure you go to the eye doctor first and get the best prescription glasses possible and then really stare hard at the USB cable on your mouse. Make sure you don't blink though or you might only be able to see it in 60Hz.

My guy, you've been blocked for years, don't kid yourself. I'm still going to defend people who are in the right regardless.

You don't SEE polling rate, you FEEL polling rate through the use of the device, the average polling rate for the vast majority of mice these days is between 1000~2000Hz and very often it's a configurable setting.

i.e. if your mouse has software like iCUE, set polling rate to 125Hz and you'll actually notice how much slower it is. Monitor refresh rate is a completely different specification even though both are measured in hertz.

There is nothing wrong with my eyes. It is not possible to see 1000 Hz polling rate on my 60 Hz monitor. There is a lot of flicker on mouse.

That is because you are looking at your monitor... you need to learn how to follow instructions. Get better glasses and then make sure you STARE REALLY HARD at your mouses USB CABLE. Then you'll be able to see the 1000Hz polling.

Again, unless you blink then you'll only be able to see the 60Hz
