Sorry to jack your thread but I have a quick question and I don't wanna make a separate blog for it...

Is there a way to set ALT + TAB to your macro button? Whenever I try it just tabs me out of my Razer customizer program.

oh god... I don't even know what I have for DPI but I do know that when I move my mouse like a millimeter it fucking flys across my screen >.<

someone correct me if im wrong but i think the pros almost all play at 800 dpi since thats what the mini optical is defaulted to.

I used to play at 2000 dpi, but i went down to 800, and my micro improved a lot. Still, I do wonder if 400 would help, but It just seems too slow -_-;

I would say use 800dpi because 400dpi is unimagineably low

just use the speed at which youre comfortable with. i dont see the difference in 400 800 1200 1600 or 2000 dpi but only that its faster or slower. i put my mx518 to the max cuz its much easier to remember and change when im playing with someone else's comp and if someone changes my settings, and so i can move the cursor much faster and easier than having to move my whole arm. ive gotten used to fast sensitivities and wouldnt go any slower.

Don't just use the highest you can. Although tbh 800 would be fine. I use the logitech mini optical on highest settings....work it out if you want lol, I have less dull things to do :p
