Mouse DPI (CPI) as Fast As Possible

Thanks !

I use a mouse with only 1200 DPI, but it goes up to 7200, but 1200 is what I've used for ages. It's cheap too, a $20 Inland mouse from The Micro Center, but it feels like an expensive mouse.

I'm so glad I watched this video. I was prepared from some sponsor segment but I didn't expect that Milkshake cover! LOL. Someone needs to bring that cover up and maybe start it as a YT short. Haha.

The funniest part of that sponsorship is that I feel more inclined to visit their website now than I ever would have upon watching some random ad read.

DPI is a perfectly acceptable term btw. A pixel is in concept an infinitely small "dot", thus the name. CPI is just "Count (of conceptually infinitely small dots) Per Inch".

Haha 😂

Looked up this vid because I heard him👆 say it in a recent video… lol 8 years ago he says it’s a hype word.

Anyone else miss The Real World style Linus?

I know its an old video but why are his hands so yellow ?

This look like linus tech tips

RESOLUTATION? Please clean up the typo.

Great you are.

How fast it reacts?

My 600 dpi wireless Logitech mouse from 2007 just failed and Ibswitched over to an wired Dell mouse such as come with their desktops. Those are 1000 dpi. There is an noticeable difference and everything is running now without lag. 1000 dpi is good enough.

yes but higher dpi causes less latency

so true and very honest informative funny which makes it interesting to keep watching till the end lolx ............ in fact its the muscle memory that makes you perform better in games and reflexes with practice ......... one difference does makes diff and that is extra buttons cause mostly we use mouse with two buttons ........... so extra buttons improves your action further a step ahead in gaming ...... 2nd weight and ergonomics makes you feel comfortable in long hours play

thx linus

thanks i did not know that because did not read the instructions and through away it.

My mouse has 7200 dpi

hoiiii dady

8000 DPI is too low in 2022.

luv u man

my mouse has 16k dpi

for me 1600cpi is sweet spot for regular work and 3200cpi for gaming

Lmfao wtf

Guess he wont have so many mouse-brand sponsors after this viedo :DD He actually roasts them all!

You should use the highest native CPI of your mouse in any game that has a 3D camera. Shooters, action games, 3D platformers, what have you. More counts per inch means a smoother camera. In fact, having a very low DPI will make games like CS:GO, TF2, Quake etc. almost unplayable because your camera will skip entire rows and columns of pixels, making far away targets virtually unhittable.
Sucks that everyone always forgets this really important detail. High CPI, low in-game sens = Smoother camera. Low CPI, high in-game sens = Pixel-skipping, jumpy, stuttery camera.

should i press DPI Button on my mouse

Is 12,000 dpi good

Dude the foreshadowing tords the end of the video for today's crap that is happening.

Well I'm not buying fractal design again

i am that high sensitivity guy

I use 9150 dpi so if it’s under 12000 dpi I can’t necessarily get it because if I go down it makes movement slower and if I go higher it will make it harder to be comfortable with

This was more of a rant than informational video

you are awesome as hell

Conclusion:

DPI = Sensivity

thank you I needed that tonight

Counts.. 😂

Great way to explain things, love it 😊

I got CPO 🤖

His Milkshake doth teach me things in this 2021 future 😩🥣

I never go more than 800 DPI on my 7200 DPI mouse.. 8 million DPI is only the market shit 🙄

How it's possibile that this didn't became a meme base ?

more CPI would still give you more precision, always, and I think that extra precision very much compensates any added noise
the really maximum CPI you can get if you play many games is around 1600, some games just don't have enough freedom of sensitivity in-game to adjust to higher DPI
on some sensitivity in some games even 1600 couldn't reach desirable sensitivity
