PipiDaga Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Im thinking about buying a gaming mouse and need a hand picking between two. One of them has 2400 DPI whilst the other has 4000 DPI, do you personally think it is worth paying more for higher DPI or do you think 2400 DPI is fine? Do serious gamers need DPI higher than 4000?

N88 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Get a one wiht a good sensor, most pros use 400 DPI or 800 DPI. The sensor is more important. I got Logitech G400s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearJan Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 2.4K+ DPI = FPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extatus Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I had Razer DA 6400 dpi but i used only 1800-2400 4000+ DPI may be useful if u have a huge 4k tv screen if you're a serious gamer then you're going to be using a huge mouse mat and 400 dpi, lol so yeah, 2400 is fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) 2.4K+ DPI = FPS DPI, dots per inch, meaning you can move more smoothly and play better, AKA that's why it's a gaming mouse. 2-3K DPI is fine, just purchase the mouse that you prefer.

Harry Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) i realy have no idea what you are talking about why don;t be like normal people and buy the cheapest 1 Because gaming mouses > cheap mouses. They last way longer and are better for gaming. DPI is something you get on a mouse, = Dots per inch, means more and clean movement when you're moving your mouse, google it.

TwitchFast Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 DPI is a selling feature for "Gamers", above a certain point it's useless and you pick up more noise than clean movement. I personally have a 8.2k DPI Logitech G600, but I only run it at 3k DPI with Windows mouse "Pointer" speed lowered to a point I find the speed comfortable. The reason I do that is so that the sensor is still accurate, but the speed is more controlled. I wouldn't be too concerned for DPI, I never care for it, I merely bought my mouse for the programmable keys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
