Best Mouse settings

Good evening fellow nubs

I remember there were alot journals about mouse settings such as amount of Hz and DPI in the past.
And experts like overdrive making posts/tutorials about it.

I know few players who play with 2000 dpi etc (and i say ; switch to 400 ffs:p).
From what I was told dpi was not something benefitting your aim and just a way to sell a mouse.
And high dpi even gave mouseaccel.

Im calling for experts or proplayers to enlighten me and other players!

nothing wrong with higher dpi like 900 if you use rinput
whats rinput?
Parent
RInput allows you to override low definition windows mouse input (accurate untill 400cpi) with high definition mouse input (raw input, which is more accurate for high cpi mice). This is certainly useful for games like Wolfenstein – Enemy Territory as the engine only supports low definition windows mouse input.

I tried some program called dinput ( or something like that) in the past.
Can't remember who made it , was some dutch et player.
But from my experience it didn't make me play better, instead worse than my current settings:O

If you play with higher dpi and you set 71 fps on pistol you have HUGE negative mouseaccelration. Just an example.
Parent
high dpi means higher precision on your screen. Only problem is that a high dpi might result in data loss on high speed movement.

This is why people use lower dpi(400/450) to make sure the data-loss on screen stays at a minimum.

If you have 1000hz+2000dpi+a good mousepad. Then its no problem and when your used to it its nice to play with.
couldn't be more wrong

500Hz 400Dpi + custom mouse.reg & PaleHook of course
high dpi - more sensitive - more turn spread in ET - fail
We're still waiting on your translation of Ask Cypher :(

400dpi + 500Hz
thats what i recommend :D
Parent
depends on your resolution. for 1680x1050 i use 800dpi.
stick with 400dpi if you play in 1024x768 or lower.
400 dpi + 125 herz
450 dpi & 500 hz since I can't get 1:1 mouse movement with 1000hz
I prefer playing 900dpi instead of 400. Feels like my reflexes are better and my mouse responds faster
