You should move your hand at least 5 cm when crossing the screen from side to side otherwise you might get carpal tunnel if playing too much .. hope that helps Where did you get that information?

Is higher DPI and lower windows sense better ? Or should I increase windows sense to 6 and lower DPI for better performance | ||

I like using 5k DPI because I can cross the screen in an inch and it means I can get in a position where the mouse cord doesn't impair my accuracy. But that's just me, what DPI do you guys play Starcraft 2 at and why? P.S: Hope this I labelled this thread correctly EDIT: No labels in this forum? 5k DPI and you cross your screen in an inch?! Wow. I'm guessing you have really high resolution. I play at 2000 DPI, 55% sentitivity, no acceleration, and I cross my screen in about 1cm. It should be noted, though, that I restrict my resolution in sc to make the screen square on my widescreen laptop. | ||

Why would you make it square? | ||

Saying that, there is no perfect mouse setting, it's all personal preference. On October 03 2011 16:13 bokchoi wrote: 800-1000 dpi. I started out with 2000 was using a G3 in the beta. That finally broke. Friend bought me an Abyssus so I was using 3500 for awhile then realized that was totally unnecessary and dropped it to 1800. Moved, forgot my mouse and bought a G1 which is supposed to be 800-1000dpi. Works fine. Where did you buy that mouse from? :o I've been wanting one but don't feel l like going to ebay. | ||

Part of this i feel is the bottom of my mouse wore down from factory tho. I now have it at 3k DPI and haven't felt a need to increase it, and don't feel like its very fast either. I am just used to it i guess, and have no accuracy problems relating to DPI. No mouse acceleration. I have the in-game sensitivity off (Sc2). It is funny when the average person uses my computer and moves the mouse, just to totally miss what they were going for tho lol. It took some time to build up to 3k and feel i could probably increase it more if i really wanted to, but i am super comfortable with 3,000 DPI. Razer Imperator ^_^ Oh and resolution is 1920x1080 | ||

It simply is the number of dots per inch. Higher DPI mice tend to be more accurate. You can set your sensitivity to what ever you want without changing your DPI, thus higher DPI tends to be better. | ||
