dpi / winxp sens calculator

ok guys once more again i need some advices!!

i've a logitech g500 mouse, with 2700dpi and a windows sens of 5 it feels very well.
but i was used to playing with lower dpi like 1600 (mx518+g5refresh).

now when i calculate 2700*5/1600 it gives me a result of ~8.4 .. might this be
correct ??

nope
windows sens 5 gives smth like 75% of your actual DPI. It's like if your mouse was at 2025 dpi.

Anyway, what sensitivity do you want to calculate with this ? For ET sens, it's' (Old dpi * old sens) / new dpi. And be careful with such high dpi ingame if you're not playing with a high sensitivity, you might get a lot of negative acceleration.
so you mean i should stick with windows sens 6 (the value you get when using thedamned)
and try to figure out the lower dpi until it fits?

the sens i used with mx518 was 1600dpi and 2.96sens.

You can set windows sens how you like it, it doesn't change anything at all if you compensate it in your ET sens.
And with G500 you can just directly set 1600 dpi in your drivers and set the windows sens on 6 and keep your ET sens like it was :)

But if you wanna stay with 2700, win sens 5, your ET sens should be 2.33.
Anyway: numbers don't matter much, there's always a difference between mice on the dpi announced and what you really get, so my advice is just to pick something that seems right, adjust it at your liking and play with it :)

yea i will have to test around and stuff until it suites well :(

dpi isnt linear in this shitty avago 9500 sensor aswell
so 2000dpi sens 1 and 400dpi sens 5 give different distance on the pad
Parent
Do you think that DPI is linear on a DeathAdder 3g?
In my personal experience not. :p
Parent
most likely yes, tba checking
and even if it is - who cares about other dpi modes other than 450?
Parent
I used to care, used to play with 1800DPI.
But the neg accell was just too much :p

Missing some smoothness though @ 450 dpi :(
Parent
Use rinput

"lower dpi like 1600" :D
