Are you supposed to set the DPI/Polling rate high in the firmware and then set the sensitivity in-game to very low?

That's what I've been doing. It feels good but I wondered just now if I might be retarded.

I use 500 DPI and 125 polling.

Fite me.

I usually leave in-game sensitivity in its default position or slightly lower it.

I just maxed it, fuck dpi

Setting polling rate to 500hz or 1000hz is fine, but I wouldn't go any lower. 500hz adds a single millisecond of input lag, but tends to be more stable.

As for DPI, either set it to something low or what ever the native DPI is. Looking up the native DPI might give you slightly better theoretical performance, but low DPI generally improves the signal-to-noise ratio since it's more or less guarenteed that the sensor isn't being interpolated to a retarded degree. Setting the DPI higher *does not* increase the amount of information that the sensor picks up.

This
Windows mouse sensitivity at its middle value.
Mouse at the sensor's native DPI
Adjust effective sensitivity with in game settings.

the DPI won't matter when the shortened wiring disconnects from the mouse and you wind up with a $75 paper weight

Windows speed at the fourth hash, 3500 DPI, adjust sensitivity in-game.

This is false, and there is no such thing

All a DPI setting does is the difference of you moving your mouse 1CM and your mouse cursor on screen moving 100 pixels and 1000 pixels

There is no such thing as "Native DPI"

Just set whatever allows you to aim most accurately

polling rate highest possible, set the CPI to whatever is native on your sensor.
