Hello everyone,
after some ages I have decided to start some gaming again.
I still have my old QL and W:ET configs. Interestingly I have different sensitivities noted in my configs which I believe are related to 400 and 800 DPI:
Wolfenstein - Enemy Territory:
sensitivity 2.58 // = 1,45
cg_fov 90
Resolution: 1920x1080
Quakelive:
sensitivity "4.5"
cg_fov "103"
Resolution: 1920x1080
So I believe that I played with either 400 or 800 DPI back then (Deathadder / G400).
Does the chosen DPI have and positive or negative effect?
E.g. negative accel?
Also it seems like with todays mouse sensors I am not required to stick with the default / native DPI anymore?
Thanks in advance!

also in ET above 4sens starts getting choppy, 5 is the limit, after that its a shit show, so essentially higher DPI = lesser ingame sens = better "smoothness"
but there may be other factors from back in the day aswell, since I remember some people using specific DPI because of specific HZ, but that may have been BS aswell as I really dunno if it somehow works out changing the way mechanic work (dpi+hz together) xd

I also have problems finding really good settings for my mouse....
When I see how incredibly fluid and precise some pros play, I'd really like to know their settings that lead to that. (Apart from all the training, of course.)
I once tried it with my gameboy but the battery doesn't last long enough.
