so what is not sensitivity and what is
DPI
why do I need to know this and how can i
adjust the mouse sensitivity
mouse sensitivity is pretty
straightforward if your mouse is highly
sensitive than the slightest hand
movement will cause your cursor to
quickly shoot across the screen
well a low sensitivity will make it so
very large hand movements will result
with your cursor slowly dragging across
the screen
all right
the Afghan i calculate sensitivity
the measurement for mouse sensitivity is
GPI dots per inch
I'll use some visual aids to help
explain the measurement
ok so let's add a grid to display the
pixels
now let's measure out one inch at this
level of sensitivity we can see that the
dots per inch is seven
so if we were to move the mouse one inch
then it will move the cursor 7 pixels
now let's double the sensitivity
there are now 14 dogs bridge so now this
time when we move the mouse one inch
it will register as moving 14 pixels on
her monitor or TV
can i set the DPI level on my mouse to
any number i want and as every Mouse
have the same DPI options
you can only set the DPI up to the max
capability of your mouse laser for
example my mouse has a max of five
thousand 600 DPI so i can set my DPI
anywhere between 100 and 5600
when shopping for a mouse look at the
max DPI the more precise of the laser
the mouse has to hire the DPI can be
why would I
awesome to tivity
well with low resolution displays a low
DPI will feel sensitive enough but when
using a higher resolution
you will need to compensate with a
higher mouse DPI
claw and fingertip users will also need
a higher DPI in Palm users when playing
a game a higher DPI will cut down the
amount of time it takes to move your
cursor making your reactions faster
if you are playing enough PS game then
when using an mg you may want a high DPI
and when you are using a sniper rifle
you will need to lower your dpi to make
slow precise movements
if you do any photo shopping then when
you get into close-up details you will
need an extremely low DPI for those
really precise brush movements
so how do I
it's my mouse sensitivity the simplest
way to do this is to change your
operating system settings for Windows
users follow these steps press windows
are
this will bring up the run service type
into the field control space main . CPL
and hit OK
this will bring up the mouse properties
select the pointer options tab now set
the pointer speed to your desired
sensitivity
but sometimes i want to quickly change
my sensitivity and doing it in windows
takes too long
some mice have their own software to
change between sensitivity profiles
using hotkeys not my mouse is there any
software like this that works with just
about any males
yes there is one of the free programs
that you can use is called my own speed
switcher you can download it at g
photoshop.com
I now have my mouse sensitivity set up
exactly how I wanted when I play call of
duty
the sensitive he feels good but when i
play a different game like for example
minecraft the sensitivity is messed up
not every game has by default the same
sensitivity as another game
some games you can go into the game
options and change the sensitivity using
the software i've downloaded for my
mouse
I can also change to a different
sensitivity profile
depending on the game right correct
what's this setting called the mouse
acceleration when I have it turned on
the mouse movement keeps acting weird
mouse acceleration makes it so that if
you quickly move your mouse
it will move your cursor much farther
than if you were to move your mouth
slowly
this makes muscle memory extremely hard
and I suggest that you turn the setting
off
ok I've turned it off of Windows now but
when i play a game it feels like it's
still on
always going to your game settings and
make sure it is turned off some games
have Mouse acceleration turned on by
default
I'm tired of learning about sensitivity
I think that's all I need to know if I
have any more questions i'll post them
in the comments section
