I was just reading the alien/marine sensitivity thread, and it raised this question for me which I thought was a difference enough for a new thread. If not feel free to move it ![;)]( ";)")
But, what is DPI doing? I see these people playing with their DPI AND in-game sensitivity. But why wouldn't you leave your mouse on a maximum setting (I truly ASSUMED this was just increasing the smoothness of movements when turning, but never tested it), and then just mess with the in-game settings?
Does DPI not effect the mouse smoothness?
I remember in ns1 when i switched from the free Dell mouse to a Razer Diamondback at 1600 DPI I could literally move the mouse for smaller numbers of pixels than with the dell.
So is it possible that I would give myself an advantage with 1600 DPI instead of 3500? (I'm using a Deathadder)
Edit: Specs because everyone is misunderstanding xD
-Razer Deathadder currently running at 3500 DPI
-Func.net Surface 1030 (smooth side) (From NS 3.0 Beta 3![:D]( ":D")
)
