800 vs 400 dpi

I was watching professional csgo and valorant players and I realized that valorant players prefer to use 800dpi, it is extremely rare to find one that uses 400dpi. As for csgo, it is the opposite, almost all players, even those of the new generation (those who grew up around mice with huge DPI numbers) prefer to use 400DPI

Could someone explain to me the reason for this trend? would be because of the difference between engine 4 and source 1 ?

High DPI = better input lag.

Problem is that most of mices has some dpi deviation.

Check this review of G Pro as example, you can see that 1600dpi is not really 1600dpi, this DPI variate by every copy.
You can have a new G Pro with 1610dpi (when u put 1600dpi) and other with 1650dpi when u put 1600.

That's why people feel weird when they change to new DPI, anyway most mices nowadays with 3370 or 3390 sensor the dpi variation is way less, almost 1%

That's why u should not care too much about ur sens, since every time u change your mice your sens will change as well.

1600

0.401 800 DPI on VIPER 8k .. even if i switch to gpro superlight my SENS is not going to change drastically .. the difference will not be noticeable i guess

Yeah, not that much difference. Difference that you will be able to tell is more about how light your mouse is.

Only boomers play at 400

Some cheater strike players even play at a 500 polling rate, noob esport kkkkkkkkkkkk

It’s because the stubborn csgo boomers are unable to to accept anything new or better (mostly Europeans stuck in there old ways) and can’t evolve…

16000

u talking nosense btw

the diff is so meaningless, just play what ur comfortable on

the difference in lower vs higher dpis is very minimal, but it's even less on lower resolutions which is what most are using in cs

in general though it does mean nothing u should just go for what you are used to on the desktop

um is this a bad time to mention that ive been using 2200 dpi?
