Is it worth pinning this topic?
i will probably do more tutorials like this, maybe ill summarize them in a stickied tutorial topic then

What is a good starting dpi for the xim? I have the g502
try 4000 dpi and then 12000 dpi, no need to test something in between
pick the value that feels better for you, both are high enough to ensure perfect mouse movements

Excellent tutorial. I've gotten somewhat used to a different sensitivity over the past year. Think it's worth going through this tutorial and doing it anyways? Won't I likely just end up with my current sensitivity
yes definitely, but do the tutorial before you have warmed up!
let me know how big the difference between your current sensitvity and ur new one will be

I wish I would've known about this approach for my xim4. Thank you for sharing. Question: Do you recommend keeping hip and ADS equal, or using this approach for ADS, and a faster one for hip for quick turning?
id recommend to find your HIP sensitivity with this method first to know the ballpark you re in regarding your sensitivity
then you can either redo the tutorial for your ADS or pick a similar HIP value for your ADS, here i recommend to use a slightly lower speed in your ADS than in your HIP
