I got a Sidewinder X8 waiting for me at UPS after work. I currently have a very old Intellimouse Explorer.
My question is this. With my Intellimouse, I have to turn up Windows/games/etc mouse sensitivity because the cursor would be crazy slow otherwise. Now that my new mouse will have a 4000dpi, is it advisable to turn down Windows/game sensitivity and turn up the mouse DPI?
I guess I'm a bit confused about how software sensitivity and DPI interact with each other. I noticed sometimes that when moving my mouse on the desktop, the cursor moves more than 1 pixel at a time. Is this caused by sensitivity artificially accelerating my cursor speed by causing my average movement to be greater than 1 pixel per movement event from the mouse? Will reducing software sensitivity and cranking up the DPI cause my cursor to move one-for-one?
