Is there a significant difference between 1600 and 4000 DPI for the average user?

Question

Iron

Hello everyone
I want to buy such a rodent , but the second version came out with 4k dpi. What does it mean? On the figures, the difference is 2 and a half times, but in reality, what will it give me?
I would buy the 2nd version, but the devil knows when it will be delivered to Ukraine

Answer 1

all marketing. most pro players still play at 400 DPI.
Better take a cable - better data transfer goes than a wireless signal. none of the household appliances will affect.
how much gamer are you?

Answer 2

I have a 12000 DPI mouse and a 4k monitor (3840x2160). I set myself a fixed DPI of 2000 for most tasks. I can't imagine what 12000 might be needed for.
But there is another aspect. A higher DPI often means a better sensor, and this is the accuracy of reproduction of movements, and the speed of reaction, and the ability to raise a rodent without moving the cursor, and other goodies.
If you don't play games, there is not much difference, but if you play something that requires precise movements, there is a significant difference (I switched from Logitech G602 to Corsair M65 Pro RGB).

Answer 3

here it depends on the resolution of the monica and if it’s normal then you won’t see the difference
if it’s 3840x2160 then take 4k dpi
of the mouse to the screen basically and select

Answer 4

If these 4k dpi are fair, then the mouse will be more convenient to use than another one with a lower dpi - it will be possible to move the cursor more accurately.
Honesty can be found out by asking which sensor is used (or by reading reviews) - do not be shy, manufacturer support for answering such questions has been created, because. any more complex issues are not able to solve.
When the sensor is recognized, if the declared resolution of the mouse is higher than the native resolution of the sensor and you cannot select the native one, then such a mouse is inaccurate shit, interpolation will prevent you from moving the cursor with small movements, for example, when clicking on icons.
Find out if the sensor itself has anti-aliasing - it reduces effective accuracy by smoothing out very small movements.
If the mouse is good - without interpolation, then look at the stall speed, it should be no worse than ordinary office mice and even more, as the dpi increases.
If the stall speed is low, then the cursor will freeze at very sharp movements - the matrix in the mouse does not have time to notice the change in the image of the rug.
At native 4k dpi, the stall speed must be very high, otherwise it will freeze even with smooth long movements.
If the dpi is dishonest or crashes too early, then you are actually paying for something you can't use properly.

These are the two main criteria when choosing a mouse, as otherwise the mice differ only in body.
But for you, the body can matter - for example, if not all the muscles in your arm are pumped up and you do not put your elbow on the table, then depending on the size of the mouse body (it determines your grip), the mouse can be hard to carry around all day.
Or the legs of the mouse can be very small - if the mouse is too heavy for you, small legs will prevent you from smoothly starting to move, because the smaller the contact area, the higher the pressure and on plastic mats (and smooth tables) the mouse on small legs will literally stick to the mat, therefore, it will be difficult to move the mouse just a little bit after stopping. This can be cured - the "nests" in which the legs are glued are cut off, an adhesive Teflon tape is taken (in China for a couple of dollars you can order ptfe teflon mouse feet mouse skates) of the same height as the sawn nests + the height of the old legs (otherwise the sensor will not be accurately focused - all sensors have a certain focal length like cameras and on it they see your mat best) and is glued to the back and front - the entire width of the mouse.
After that, it will stick less, but you need a flat mat / table - if there are bulges or dents it will cling, but there are very thin plastic carpets like razer sphex (if you don't like the feeling of rag)

If the mouse is wireless, then read the reviews on how quickly it goes to sleep when there is no movement - otherwise the first short movement after idle will be inaccurate - super cheap Chinese ones suffer from this, but with their dpi it is almost imperceptible - they already have to move a lot how far at a typical full hd screen resolution, the inaccuracy is not noticed, because the feeling of control is disgusting.
Now how to use mice with high dpi correctly:
Set the native resolution of the sensor, or the next multiple below - if the mouse breaks down on the native one.
(And it can break if you have a bad or dirty rug - https://youtu.be/HEXfLdYH42w , or the table is too shiny - this applies even to laser ones, except for some tricky ones, for example logitech darkfield, ms bluetrack)
After that, you need to lower the speed cursor in windows: by reducing the real sensitivity on the mouse itself, you coarsen the pointing accuracy - the mouse simply does not register your smooth short movements, discreteness appears, the cursor movements are stepped - this is called pixel skipping https://youtube.com/watch?v=NUiGkDB_48s

and your 4k dpi mouse works like a piece of shit for ten $
And when you set the maximum dpi and reduce the cursor speed in programs, then all your precise movements are slightly smoothed windows itself and are transferred to programs almost intact
The video above is from games, but in the same way the cursor speed is configured in windows for all programs - go to the control panel in the mouse settings uncheck the increased pointer precision - this will turn off acceleration: fast mouse movements will move the cursor at the same distance as the slow ones, this is important, you will miss small buttons less when you move the cursor a long distance - for example, from the center to the corner.

Now adjust the cursor speed until you get your usual ratio of mouse movement to cursor movement on the screen.
Then make a fix via markc mouse fix donewmouseaccel.blogspot.com/2010/03/markc-windows... to completely disable cursor acceleration - the cursor speed interpolation algorithm in windows is made in such a way that it interpolates non-linearly - in fact, introducing acceleration (even with the daw removed ), and the amount of acceleration depends on the dpi of the monitor. Markc fix replaces the values ​​in the interpolator making it completely linear (don't be afraid to break it, there is a file that returns everything as it was).
After that, it will become more convenient to manage the program interface - you will miss small buttons less.
Briefly:
Set the native dpi of the sensor
Or a multiple lower (whole-divided native) - if your mouse falls off on your mousepad
Disable high pointer precision
Adjust the ratio of cursor speed to mouse movement distance to which you are accustomed to move the mouse.
Finally turn off acceleration by applying a fix
If it is uncomfortable due to a slow mouse - take a larger pad, stick big legs on the mouse
Or adjust the cursor speed and dpi again
Every time you change mouse dpi / cursor speed / windows interface dpi - recreate the acceleration fix, it depends on these parameters, if you change any of them without a fix, you will have acceleration.
