For example top right to bottom left is optimal to select units and send them on the minimap. I think he meant it requires less muscular effort to go top left/bottom right and less stress on your wrist.
It’s the best standard boxing technique.

The optimal way to box when talking about speed is the one you're talking about (when you don't have to change direction with the pointer to give the order to the units you just selected).
Boxing like that can save time, if you are able to execute it well enough. This is a really advanced topic.

Windows - 6/11, like everyone basically. No enhanced pointer precision/acceleration.
DPI: 700
Polling rate: 1000hz
No in-game sensitivity. I like low sens mice, gives me more accuracy.

Windows 6/11, Isn't this ideal?
DPI:2000, Id like to lower it a bit for my future wrist, but I like it nice and responsive.
Polling rate: 1000hz, Any reason to lower?

I have 3400dpi 6/11 windows and in game off, on one of the new 2013 death adders. I barely move my hand when playing on my hard pad, and I really like it that way. The slight bump over the 3100 Dpi Death adder is just perfect for me.
I have no problem selecting individual stalkers or sentries or HTs in the middle of fights.
Im interested in why people are saying higher DPI is worse for long term wrist health? Can someone explain this for me? My keyboard hand is always the more tired of the two after an extended play session (even in LOL where my keyboard hand does jack shit compared to SC2). Thanks!

is there a way to set the abyssus to 1000dpi? i ve 450/1800/3xxx as option from mouse itself, with 3xxx its not precise and 450 is like moving a whale and i dont like needing to cross the pad 5 times to get from a to b so something like 1000ish would be dandy

1.Set the switch on the mouse to 1800dpi.
2. Download this driver
3. The drivers sensitivity is a dpi multiplier, 1 being 0.1, 5 is 0.5 and so on. 5,5 on 1800 is 990 dpi, 6 makes i 1080 dpi.

oh wow thank you

No problem 
My settings are;
Razer Abyssus
6/11 in windows, no acceleration
51% in SC2
810 dpi
Polling rate 1000hz

Razer abyssus
dpi 1600
Windows 4/11
accel - on
in game sensitivity disabled

its gonna be hard to get used to the 1000 dpi on the abyssus, played with a cm storm spawn on 3200 dpi (or something like that) but it feels more precise but i need probably more than a year to get used to this :D

Man i can understand some uninformed people using 3200dpi (like i did) on a big mouse, but on a spawn? x3 that must have been a wrist killer
Cut your DPI in half again, play at 500-700 for two hours and go back up, it helps a lot for getting used to it if it feels too slow, or too fast (go past it to an extreme and then fall back)

nah i feel like low dpi is way worse for my wrist cuz with high dpi i had no wrist/hand movement to beginn with lol, it was all in like a square of 1x1cm on a 24inch monitor

Then stop locking your wrist and using it as a left/right pivot, you're doing it wrong, may explain why you have any trouble adjusting to 1000dpi which is quite fast
Hold mouse between your thumb and fourth finger, dont move wrist or fingers, and practice moving mouse back and forth long distances very fast, and the feel will start to come naturally. Unless you're using >1920x1080, it takes you less than 5cm of movement to cross your entire screen on the greatest lengh, which should seem fast to you if you move it in a better/different way instead of trying to mimic a high dpi while at a low one, which can only lead to subpar results IMO

Razer Abyssus
3500 dpi
71% in SC2
6/11 in Windows
Anything less than this feels slow, I cannot move my arm or hand, as oftentimes I have like 1 inch of space at either side of the mouse.

well, if u go from 3200 and substract 2200...everything feels slow doesnt matter how u do it, it just is plain and simple -_-
i am not even sure its really worth the hassle just to get a bit more accurate cuz its pretty hard to remove a habit that was formed for like 18ish years or so ~_~

It's not necessary, but it's definitely worth it imo.

Okay, I am extremely bad with anything computer related, and sorry in advance about the stupid question. I am using my old Logitech mx518 and I have those windows 6/11 settings, and unchecked enhanced pointer precision. The mouse has buttons which I think corresponds to dpi settings of 400, 800 or 1600.
After reading this thread I tried changing from 1600 to 800 and it is extremely slow. I have to wave my whole forearm around to make movements, and I can barely browse the internet without misclicking. I must be doing something wrong  If 1600 (or perhaps the 3rd setting is 1500) is too high, is there any way to make my mouse do 1000 or 1200 or so?

Sure but if you go to 500dpi for 2 hours and then back to 1000 it's easy to smash years of bad habits
If you don't want to put in the effort to improve, then dont
