DPI appears to be incorrect

Post by tryllix » 29 Jul 2024, 22:01

I've tested more than 5 mice from different brands and it's the same thing. I have already changed the motherboard, video card, SSD, monitor, mouse, mousepad and keyboard and Internet Provider. I've already modified everything I could in Nvidia, Windows, BIOS, etc...

The problem is that the DPI seems slow, like it's not correct and I need to move the mouse more. Example: If I set it to 3000DPI it appears to be less than 1600, both on the desktop and in the game and it is not responsive at all.

I copied the sensitivity and general settings from some streamers that use a handheld camera and I need to move the mouse a lot, a lot more to get a 160°.

Did you recently switch to a 4K display from something like 1080p or 1440p? If yes, then what you're seeing is normal. Well, on the desktop and in games with non-raw mouse input, at least.

No, bro, I've known about this site for a long time, but you know, it's not very obvious to detect, it feels more like the mouse acceleration has been adjusted (btw, although I also turned on "Enhance pointer precision" before this problem appeared, so you can only feel it and the difference with normal mouse movement, but I'm sure one thing The mouse movement speed is definitely different from the normal movement speed

My current mouse is the Deathadder v2, but I've tested other brands like HyperX and Logitech Superlight and they're both the same thing, the dpi doesn't seem correct. Never at 3000DPI should I move the mouse that much, it's crazy.

I only had 2 monitors, Acer Predator XB273GX FHD and currently the one I'm using, Alienware AW2521HF FHD.

No, I always used Full HD (1080P)
