dpi vs sensativity?

This is probaly a dumb question but I am really confused on this.

On my mx518, it had buttons to change the dpi of the mouse. The higher the dpi, the "quicker" the mouse moved. I pretty much understood this concept and used it.

Now I have the copperhead and I am totally confused. It has 2 buttons for dpi changes (like the mx518 did) but it also can have 2 buttons for "on the fly sensativity".

From what I read, on the fly sensativity changes how fast the curser moves.

Is it that dpi is for accuracy and sensativity is for speed? If this is true, it seems obvious that everyone should set the dpi to the highest (2,000) and only change the sensativity. But if that is true, when why even have the option to change dpi? Why not only change sensativity.

Can anyone explain this to me?

yup :p

well some people dont like the dpi too high cuz it reads ur movements too well so one might have trouble aiming in first person shooters, but most do prefer higher dpi
