I use 1000.. This is subjective and everyone is different, but recently I heard about some pro's have lowered there DPI as you get better control... Speed is not everything.

When you use HOT KEYS and Location HOT KEYS properly, you don't actually need to use the mouse as much as you think.. So first sort that out then sort ur DPI out

When I used to play FPS games all the time in middle/high school I had a pretty crappy desk with a small amount of mouse space so I eventually got used to a high speed/low hand movement style, mostly out of necessity.

Today I use 3500dpi, 3/11 Windows, 26% in SC2, 4 Razer sens. Could probably clean that up a bit but meh, it works for me.

Why do people change windows sensitivity.. it causes nothing but skipping.

I use:
6/11 (sc2 ignores anyway)
51% ingame
1000dpi
1920x1080

I play at 650 dpi at the moment.
Its better to use lower dpi since u can be more precise imo.

Razer Naga, 4800 DPI, 6/11 windows, 51% ingame. Running at 1920x1080. (No accel.)

It's just a speed I feel comfortable playing at, haven't found that it's made my control imprecise or anything.

I have slow hands (probably due to age and lack of training), so i need my 3200 DPI to have ok mouse speed, with everything lower i'm just too slow to really keep up in the game.

I tried 5600 but it destroyed my mouse precision.

It's a matter of style what speed you can use. If you have slow hands but good precision, you need high DPI, if you have fast hands but low precision, you need low DPI.

I use 3900 for similar reasons to Morfildur. I have very slow hands but I think I am quite accurate. I need really high DPI to be able to get the mouse around the screen quickly enough.

I think any DPI is useable, you just have to play with it long enough to get used to it.

Oh yeah, I also play at 2560x1600 screen resolution so lower DPIs make the cursor crawl across the screen.

2000 DPI. 61% ingame.

High enough to be able to play only with wrist and finger movements. Moving your arm around in an RTS is a nono for me.

used 2300 for a long time, then realised that u're supposed to turn the acceleration off, did that, had to turn it down to 1000-1200, enough for me

Mouse movement speed depends on DPI and screen resolution so it might be better if people posted their SC2 res.

Anyhow, I use 2700 DPI and 59% sensitivity ingame, at 1920x1080. I noticed that many many pros use VERY high sensitivity so that the mouse scroll is quicker - I noticed Sen has insanely high sens. It's helped me a lot with my mechanics without any less of accuracy.

I play at 2500 dpi on the razer orochi in wired mode. I think its great for sc2 providing fast moving reactions across the screen yet also easily accurate clicking

These threads have no value. "What colour do you pick?" "What mouse do you use?" Threads like these just have hundreds of replies with no one caring about anyone else.
