I have a question, but allow me to preface it first.
As I understand it, way back during XIM4 days, the devs' advice was to have as much mouse DPI as possible, and so long as the mouse is acceleration free, the lower the XIM sensitivity is, the more precise movements will be.
The ideal mouse used to be the G502, since this was used by the DEVs if my intel is correct, although I assume the DEVs would also be quick to note that any high quality mouse would produce just as good results, or close enough that the difference would be miniscule. Still, one has to remember the same was said about the 8 ms polling delay of the XIM4, as opposed to the theoretically possible 1 ms (at least on the xbox), and it has now become (fortunately, and rightly!) a major selling point of Apex. Being a perfectionist, I'm interested in what would give the most precise movement with the least delay, however impossible it may be to perceive that difference.
The G502 had 12K dpi, and experts recommended it for a long while for XIM4, and then the Apex, before Razer mice with 20k and more became the norm, but for reasons unknown to me, in recent years, once these mice could go over 12k, experts on these forums started to say that you don't need 20K dpi, which, to me, seems to go against the old standard of "the more dpi the better". Now mind you, this is all assuming we want to go nuts with dpi and overall speed, so I know some experts, like antithesis, like to run 4K, I'd like to exclude those scenarios from this discussion if such a request is possible.
So I guess my question is, given that one would want to go nuts with the most possible DPI and overall sensitivity (At least 12k dpi AND sens well above 50, up to hundreds of hip sens in my case), is it better to increase DPI beyond 12k on a mouse that can do 20 or 25K, or stick to 12K and increase apex sensitivity more? Which results in more precision?
