Summary and conclusion
The essential thing is and remains: DPI does not always equal PPI! With the formulas above you can adjust your DPI value to the size and resolution of your monitor. Also, you can now convert your DPI value equivalently to any resolution – without noticeable difference. If you didn’t know, you can now disable pointer acceleration on Windoof and will most likely experience a whole new gaming experience. It should be said, however, that pointer acceleration under Windows does have a justification.
For example, if you work with several monitors and want to jump quickly from the first to the last monitor, this option is worth its weight in gold. Switching to 16,000 DPI is not an option here in my opinion! You have to do the same with dedicated mouse software. Be sure to check if functions similar to pointer acceleration are active here. Other settings in the software are similar in case of doubt, but I don’t want to make generalizations between different software interfaces in this review!
Furthermore, it is better to speak of an effective DPI value as soon as you change or adjust the pointer speed under Windows or the sensitivity in the game settings. Which EDPI this is in the end could not be clarified conclusively, but those who find out the DPI value from the sensitivity options of their favorite games can calculate their EDPI and are welcome to share their findings with us in the forum!
If you have a mouse with up to 1,000 Hz polling rate, you probably don’t need 4,000 Hz or even more. I think that’s marketing, but nothing more. The buttons used play a role more in terms of their longevity than that they generate an advantage when gaming. I think the use of PTFE feet makes sense, because they glide properly on any table or mouse pad, which ultimately plays a role in muscle memory.
Is it now mandatory to have an ultra-light PTFE RGB Omron stylus mouse with a Pixart PMW3389 sensor? This is a matter of individual preference for the customer or user. Do you need 16,000 DPI? I say more than 5,000 DPI won’t be needed. Again, this is pure marketing! Everyone has to decide that for themselves if they want it and never need it.
We have seen that among the best pro players there are also some who are at the top with skill. They can handle 125 Hz polling rate. Similarly, for 237 out of 350 players, the average effective DPI was 848, a far cry from 5,000, or what felt like a parsec* away from 16,000 DPI! Whether these players use or need such a high-speed Gucci mouse is irrelevant. From my point of view, it clearly depends on the price-performance ratio. If you absolutely want an expensive mouse because you think it makes you better, have it. I can gamble with my 20 € Sharkoon Light² 100 just as well as with the Light² 200. Whereby the is still very cheap – compared to other market companions!
Finally, it remains to say that you should clean your mouse from time to time. You wouldn’t believe all the dirt that piles up. Maybe after cleaning it slips like on the first day or the sensor can bring the DPI back to the mouse pad. In this sense, see you in the forum!
*The parsec (English parallax second), unit symbol pc, partly lehnübersetzen parallax second, is an astronomical measure of length. It is the distance from which the Earth’s mean orbital radius (= 1 AU, astronomical unit), i.e. the mean distance between the Sun and the Earth, appears at an angle of one arcsecond, and corresponds to about 3.26 light-years or about 206,000 astronomical units, or about 3.09-1016 metres (30.9 trillion kilometres).
