I'm relatively new to the whole on-the-fly changing DPI and I'm trying to get optimal settings. In the setpoint software, I set the mouse acceleration to low and at as little as 750 DPI, my mouse feels fast enough in games and windows. If thats the case, what is the use of having a mouse capable of 2000 DPI? I've tried 2000 and its way way to touchy. What settings can I change or maybe could you suggest to me what your settings are? Thanks
 
Well that helped a lot. I just raised my DPI to 1500 and lowered the mouse speed a lot, now it feels less jittery but more precise.
 
Everyone's sensitivity is different, though can't think of the the practical use of insane DPIs (4000.. wtf) unless you have a big ass monitor with similarly insane resolution. I run at ~1400 and it is too slow at times.
 
Well I have a 1280 x 1024 monitor so that may be part of the reason. I found, for just everyday use atleast, that a relatively slow mouse speed and a DPI of 1100 seem to be the sweet spot though I will have to do some more testing.
 
right, in setpoint do this.

1. crank the dpi to 2000 (you will need it with inferior laser tech)
2. Mouse game settings (the chess piece) click setpoint implementation
3. mouse movement (the pointer) turn the pointer speed right down to the bottom or 2nd to bottom and no pointer acceleration.

thats what i did with my original orange G5, i also had firmwares 1.1 and 1.2 applied to the mouse.
It took a LOT of fiddling to get this setup which is right for me. I no-longer use my G5 as i tried an mx518 which is 100% superior to the G5 in every way possible :)
 
I use 4000 DPI in games. I have settings set a little lower than normal, it's at about 3200 in games, and with the fast switch I go down to around 800 for sniping, but with the high DPI it has better tracking IMO.
