New computer mice come out left and right, seemingly almost as quickly as actual mice pop up.
Seriously, who are these 30,000+ DPI mice for?
But if you enjoy the pastime yourself, you already know that just isn’t the case.
I’ve had a passion for games and PC peripherals for as long as I can remember seriously.
Browse theSteam Forumson the topic, and you’ll see plenty of actual players say the same thing.
Granted, I have seen a very small number of users mention DPI parameters as high as 8,000.
But these users are the exception.
What about esports pros?
So the vast majority of casual gamers aren’t going anywhere near 10,000 DPI, let alone 30,000.
Maybe these extreme DPI mice are made for the pros instead.
But no, they’re not.
66% use just 400 DPI.
Around half of all players are on 800 DPI, while around 40% are using 400 DPI."
So even professional esports players won’t care if a mouse has ridiculously high DPI tweaks.
They tend to stay right in line with casual gamers in the 400 to 1,600 range.
But you’re not going anywhere close to 30,000.
Go ahead, have a go at adjust the volume on aYouTubevideo with a sensitivity like that.
It’s going to be a struggle.
you could accommodate this by adjusting the cursor sensitivity controls in Windows, but…why?
What’s the point?
How accurately do you oughta choose File Explorer?
Ultimately, I think ultra-high DPI configs boil down to marketing ploys.
Even if no one asked for it.
And we didn’t.
