5200dpi, 6/11, 51% in sc2.
People who say x dpi is not controllable are just trying to justify the fact they're too lazy to get used to an efficient DPI. It's perfectly controllable, and I used 5200 for the same reason OP says.
I used to use an 800dpi mouse, got pissed with having to move it 2 miles to go up the screen, I then changed to 2100dpi, but found that I couldn't bridge my hand to move the full way down the screen, I had to like skip it to the ball of my hand.
With 5200dpi, I find I can move anywhere on the screen using just my thumb and little finger/ring finger on the sides of the mouse.

I'm using 5,000 DPI right now but I hear almost everyone say at they use somewhere in the range of 1,000, and It seems like you'd need to move your mouse practically 3 lengths of the mousepad just to cross the screen. 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. It's been shown that 16: 9 vs 4:3, 16: 9 shows more of the action. Why would you make it square?
It's just what I was used to on my old computer. I should probably switch over to widescreen sooner or later, but I don't really feel handicapped by it.

900 dpi, 6/11 windows and 51 % in sc2, logitech g9x .
Edit: I really dont understand why anyone would go above 1800, feels like you sacrifice to much accuracy. Also people need to pay attention to their windows settings and ingame settings. There is no point in using high dpi if you're gonna lower the ingame sense or vice versa.

5000 is downright insane. I'm just amazed you can function at the setting. I often adjust in the range of 800-1200 depending on how warm my hands feel.

There is just no way the human hand is capable of small enough movements to be able to click precisely with 5000 DPI
It is, it just takes a while to get used to. I used to play like that.
But you'll never be as accurate as you would be at a lower sensitivity. So I now play at 800 dpi 6/11.

Donno why it bothers you that threads get reposted from time to time, its not like every thread on the front page is chalk full of info.
Because I either end up writing the same thing twice, or the effort I made in the past is lost and useless.
Also since there are actually threads on it, it's possible to find them and use it. It doesn't matter if they are on the front page. There's a whole forum and a ton of cool old threads.
And it also matters what the actual content is. If there was any it would've been possible to make it feel more legit, but it's literally a "list your DPI". Leaving a ton of things open, which will have to be filled in by other people.
That is assuming you are responding to the first paragraph I wrote.

why does everyone suggest ~51% in sc2?
is there a specific reason? or just preference
|
I need as high a DPI as can get. Two 2560x1600 screens here.

I have to agree with the above, I myself use a Razer Naga at maximum possible dpi
5400 dpi, 6/11, 53 or 54% in sc2 (Falls into the non-pixeldropping range anyway), no acceleration, 1000hz polling.
And it still doesn't feel fast enough for me. If possible, I'd probably prefer to use a mouse with 6.8-7.2k dpi, but I haven't seen such yet, at least not ones to my liking.
Even though I only own one 1920x1080 monitor.

It is controllable, it is just more difficult to be as accurate. The higher the movement speed, the less room for error there is, its just common sense. What you need to do is figure out the most comfortable movement speed for you that is accurate "enough" for what you need it to do. I mean, if there were a 30k dpi mouse and it moved the mouse across the entire screen in .2mm... that would be kind of hard to be accurate, yes? The same principle applies between 1800dpi/5200dpi or whatever else.

How do you determine what DPI you're using?
|
Ok so when i first got xai i played for like 3 months at 5k then I realized that I could micro about 7.8x better with ~1k sens. Finally settled at ~1600. Gotta split each marine man. and uh palm/claw combo.

I use 5000 dpi, 51% in sc2, and 6/11 windows
All the people saying its uncontrollable and that you can't be accurate are frankly talking out of their asses. It doesn't take long to get the hang of it and just like any mouse/hotkey/whatever changes, with regular use it becomes natural and you can be just as accurate as any other settings.
After making the switch, when playing on my friends' computers the mouse feels really sluggish and inaccurate. It's all about what you're used to and practice with and I'd rather be used to a faster setting.

800 DPI on CM Storn Spawn, 6/11 in Windows, no acceleration. Works perfectly for me.

1800 dpi / 70% in game speed

Whats the damn point of a gaming mouse if you're gonna use dpi less than the average microsoft mouse?

If there's no driver, then it would've told u on the package.
If it does, check the driver.

800 with all those mouse sensitivity settings that everyone has.
I play at 720p so yeah, it fits. 
|
900 dpi, and even this feels quite fast for me
|
how can I find out my dpi? I play with a very high sensitivity (if that is even the same thing) but I can explain it like this:
if you plant your wrist on any spot, and then move your mouse as far to the right or left as possible without moving your wrists resting-spot, then when you move the mouse to the other side, still without moving the wrists restingspot, that motion translates to about 3 times the width of my screen.
so if we say I have X pixels on the width of my screen, then a movement of about a decimeter translates to 3X pixels
