    	    <description><![CDATA[Just because some mice can do a very high dpi, does not mean you should upgrade to them for dpi alone. There is a simple formula for approximating how much dpi your mouse actually needs to have to not cause any problems with precision. The ideal is that each input from the mouse turns you just one pixel or less on the game screen. This formula works because the standard CS:S field of view is 90 degrees at a 4:3 aspect resolution. The number of vertical pixels is the second number in your resolution. (like 768 in 1024x768 or 1200 in 1920x1200)

    <strong>[(Vertical # of pixels at in-game resolution) x 2.667] / (inches needed to make a 180 turn) = (Necessary DPI)</strong>

		<blockquote>someone told me DPI needs to be in a certain relation with the resolution of the screen you use. is this true?</blockquote>

Partially true. On games which do not have raw input mouse control you can experience some negative acceleration at high dpi. Basically the mouse cursor controls your crossfire. Every time that cursor hits the edge of your screen it will swap to the other side. If your dpi is too high and your sensitivity too low, on fast movements sometimes the cursor cannot update fast enough. Causing the negative acceleration. (this is my understanding anyway) so it used to benefit you slightly to use a lower dpi. However now with raw input, it doesn't matter at all.

Tldr. No

Edit. Done on phone. Cba to fix predictive text spelling errors

Also Windows has this cool feature that allows you to set the sensitivity. I think it is under preferences. So it doesn't matter what dpi you use.]]></description>

it's all about your personal preferences really, feeling, accuracy, speed and the control what you like. Some people just use math between dpi, resolution and other bullshit just to make them selves feel more important and smart.]]></description>

when you get your EC1 try 1000dpi, i like it the best since 500dpi is way too slow for normal use and 2000dpi is bit funky feeling when playing. There is the DPI changer in the bottom of the mouse but it's not exactly "on the fly" like other mouses. I just settled with 1000dpi @ 1000hz and it's perfect and no useless switching needed.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[Low dpi. Higher in game. To me it felt less consistent at high dpi low in game. 
High dpi mice giving you an advantage in game is a total myth. It is purely a selling point. They are great for high sense players and that is about it. 

With low sense you still feel a slight difference between high and low dpi. But I have never thought it to be a good difference. Or a bad difference. What you really need to look at. Is looking at your current gamestyle. Are you a scout who largely bases his game around his movement or who largely bases his game around perfect aim with every shot. 

Imo movement requires higher sense. And aim requires lower sense. Pick one or try both, say one is 45 cm and the other is 15 and try and go for one or the other and stick with it for a while. Then slowly adjust it so that you start to get a good balance of the 2 without affecting your play style.]]></description>
