Preguntas Frecuentes
Respuestas completas a dudas comunes sobre DPI, óptica de sensores, sensibilidad y configuración.
Mouse DPI & Sensor Basics
What does DPI stand for on a mouse?↓
DPI stands for Dots Per Inch. Technically known as CPI (Counts Per Inch), it measures how many coordinate units the optical sensor reports to your computer when moved physically by one linear inch.
Is a higher DPI always better?↓
No. Higher DPI simply increases cursor or camera speed. It does not improve build quality or mechanical precision. In fact, extreme DPIs (3200+) can trigger microcontroller smoothing filters that add latency.
What is the best all-around DPI for general use?↓
800 DPI for standard 1080p displays, and 1200 to 1600 DPI for 1440p and 4K displays provide the most balanced ergonomic control.
Esports & Gaming Sensitivity
What DPI do professional CS2 and Valorant players use?↓
Over 85% of competitive tournament champions use either 800 DPI or 1600 DPI (with some veteran players remaining on 400 DPI).
What is eDPI and how do I calculate it?↓
eDPI stands for Effective DPI. It is calculated as: eDPI = Hardware DPI × In-Game Sensitivity. It allows players using different hardware DPIs to compare their true aim speed.
What is cm/360?↓
cm/360 is the universal physical distance (in centimeters) your hand must move the mouse across your desk to rotate the in-game camera 360 degrees.
Windows OS & Pointer Settings
What is the correct Windows Pointer Speed notch?↓
Notch 6/11 (the exact middle notch) in classic Windows Control Panel (main.cpl) or slider setting 10 in Windows 11. This guarantees a 1.00x multiplier with zero pixel skipping.
Should Enhance Pointer Precision be ON or OFF?↓
It should always be toggled OFF for competitive gaming and precision tasks. It introduces non-linear mouse acceleration that disrupts hand muscle memory.
What is Raw Input?↓
Raw Input is a game engine feature that reads coordinate packets directly from the USB mouse hardware, bypassing all Windows operating system sensitivity multipliers.
Hardware, Polling Rate & Maintenance
What is USB polling rate and does 4000Hz/8000Hz matter?↓
Polling rate is the frequency (in Hz) that the mouse reports its position to the CPU. Standard 1000Hz (1ms) is ideal for most users. 4000Hz/8000Hz reduces polling interval to 0.25ms/0.125ms but increases CPU load.
Why is my mouse sensor jittering or stuttering?↓
Common causes include a dusty sensor lens, an uneven or worn mousepad surface, extreme DPI settings, or high wireless 2.4GHz radio interference.
How do I clean my mouse optical sensor lens?↓
Use a can of dry compressed air or a soft microfiber cotton swab lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol to remove dust from the optical aperture.
