I use 2 DPI settings depending on what I am doing. 1200 or 1400DPI gaming normally.

I didnt really want to write out how I see it but a quick google and I found a guy had wrote the way I see it pretty much.

I thought that the software mouse sensitivity is some kind of a multiplier for the actual DPI value of the mouse. Let's say that your sens. ingame is 2,4 and you want to pan your view around by 1920 pixels. Now let's assume that your DPI is 800. 2,4 times 800 = 1920, so the mouse moves to that spot you want. But there's a catch, it only moves there by 2.4 pixel increments, making it impossible for you to aim between those spots.

If you want to aim between those spots (everyone wants to be more precise), you have to tone down the software mouse sens., let's say to about 1,2. Now your view pans around by 1.2 pixel increments, but now you'll notice that your view is panning around too slow, and you have to move your mouse like a maniac.

To compensate this, raise your mouse DPI value. If you want to get to the exact same place as with your old 2,4 sensitivity, you're gonna have to set your mouse DPI value to 1600. Tadaa, now your view pans at a comfortable speed with more precision than before.

Yup I agree DanishDevil

I use a Deathadder Black Edition and a Destructor mouse pad.
