FPS pro's please help me with mouse DPI settings

most CS pro player play with 400 DPI, so it means nothing

Ask Shinobi he will explain it to you.

Try to hit a target very far with 3500dpi, good luck ;D

you should set it lower, or you should lower the sensitivity in-game

Set it to whatever is comfortable for you. I use 800 CPI and most FPS players I know use between 400-800. But you should also pay attention to ingame sensitivity since that also affects how much you move your mouse. Find a cm/360 you're comfortable with.

Raw input is usually better unless it's bugged. Don't use different sensitivities on the X and Y axis; I'm not sure why anybody thought it would be a good feature. Polling rate is how often the mouse reports back to the PC in units of hertz, ie 125Hz or 1000Hz.

I would probably have to move my mouse a LOT, just to change directions with 400-800 DPI.

i don't play csgo for a few months now (internet laggs :/) but i always used to play with 1600 DPI, like some people here i had a friend using 400 DPI and i can't even play that way (ITS SO DAMN SLOW) and my friend can't even play with more then 800, honestly you should use the one that you are mostly used to otherwise it will confuse you allot
if you are wondering why i use my mouse so sensitive the reason is that you need a big surface to play with 400 DPI (witch i did not had when i started playing csgo) otherwise it will become necessary to take the mouse back to the original spot, basicly for low DPI you need a fast reaction + fast arm movement but with high sensibility it takes less time to aim someone because you almost dont take the mouse from the same spot and your arm almost don't move
have you ever seen someone shaking alot the aim? those people just like me use high DPI settings but they most probably have the mouse floating without touching the mouse pad (that's why they use high sensitivity in the first place) while low DPI players have to move the mouse very fast

the only benefit i can see in using low DPI is precision (for new players) but that's a bad habbit because if you manage to handle a awp with high DPI, fast and precise enough then you can handle a m4a1-s very easily (not gonna say ak47 because it's very dificult to handle if you are used to a awp)

CSGO: 400 DPI - 3.09 In-Game Sensitivity.
In Windows I set at 800 DPI.
Setting DPI low you will notice(at least I did) that the aim will be smoother and it won't be like painting in MS paint in Pixel Zoom size. But that makes it slower, so the In-Game Sens should go higher till you feel comfortable with the speed.
About the polling rate. Polling rate is how often the cpu will communicate with the mouse. It will lower the mouse input lag (we talk about some milliseconds) if it's higher, but it will demand more power from the cpu. I used to have it at 1000Hz Polling, but I had some issues on some games at random times. 500Hz is fine.
As for the X-Y you better set them both on same DPI. Try setting them in different DPI's to see how messed up it gets :P

In my experience, most players will have a DPI between 450 and 750. A lot of that will be based upon what kind of mousepad you are using. (I use a professional pad for increased accuracy, even though I'm not a pro player.) The sensitivity will be adjusted in-game to whatever is comfortable for you.

Personally, I have a mouse which adjusts on the fly, but I generally keep it around 450 DPI and adjust my in-game sensitivity so I can do a quick 400-degree spin with one full sweep of my mouse.

800 DPI not to be confused with your mouse sensitivity ingame (which could be anything) and depends on the game i use 10 inches for a 360 in tf2 which can be calculated online. m_yaw in tf2 is 0.022
RAW INPUT on of course
as for X - Y AXIS, nope because you want your aim to be the same if your going vertical or horizontal

if you want no MOUSE ACCELL you have to go to a few places to disable it such as windows, ingame, and in your drivers for you mouse
download the MARKC windows mouse registry fix (unless of course you want mouse acceleration)

its POLLING RATE = reports per second *essentially the refresh rate of your mouse essentially
basically you want it as high as possible so 500 for you, i noticed you wrote 100 at the end so maybe you meant 1000 in which case change it to that (unless your mouse bugs out) which is very rare and thus should be changed back to 500

that's pretty much it,

Thanks for all the replies, I will try out lower DPS and see how it goes.

Lower your Cursor Speed, Increase DPI, use 1000 Pooling rate.

I don't give a f**k what pro's use, I play thousands of games with 5-6K DPI with slowed cursor speed and it's awesome.I sometimes lower in-game sensitivity to get more precise in FPS games, other than that I mostly use 5.7k DPI with 1k Pooling Rate.It works great in MOBA's.

I have 3 settings on my mouse, 400 - 800 - 1600, anything over that and I feel I lose control. Never understood giant DPI numbers...

I tend to do everything at 1800 DPI
Alternatively I'll set much higher DPI, like 4200 and set game sensitivity really low

It also depends on what mouse pad you have and what sort of movements you like to make and how you hold the mouse...personally I palm it and like to only make very small movements to cover my whole screen + I have a special gaming optimized hard mouse mat which makes gliding easy.

It is personal preference. You need to try different settings until you find one that suits you. If the mouse is good quality the high DPI should be precise (higher DPI means higher chance of having "noise" and less precise reading of your movements). For ironsights/snipers lower DPI is probably better.

i play dota 2 with 8000 DPI and it works fine for me.
Wait. dota isnt FPS . so .

Reading all this makes me feel like such a scrublord. I have a logitech M90 budget mouse with none of this DPI stuff (and it works well enough for my gaming needs).
But this post has been quite informative.
