DPI?
I have an Ibuypower mouse with a DPI button, what does increasing or decreasing DPI do?

Higher DPI makes mouse more sensitive and cursor moves faster on the screen.

It's great to use while in game to change how sensitive you move with your mouse. All games are a little different so makes it easy to get the perfect movement.

DPI stands for dots per linear inch

'Modern optical mice contain a light — usually a red one — and a little camera. As you move the mouse around, the light shines on the surface below the mouse and the camera takes hundreds of pictures per second. The mouse compares the pictures and determines the direction you’re moving the mouse. The mouse then sends this movement data to your computer as mouse input, and the computer moves the cursor across your screen. Laser mice function similarly, but use infrared light instead of visible light.'
