Yeah I ' m on mobile and can ' t get rid of the ad on top of the article . <| sep |> instabilityHaving a powerful pc won ' t stop crahes . <| sep |> It looks like very basic mouse settings with no reference to DPI . 800 DPI is fairly slow so I doubt 8 refers to 800 DPI as on that scale I ' d assume 8 would be quick . As I said it ' s all very personal . Some people only want to move their wrist , others their whole hand across the mousemat . Personally I have my hand vertical then count a movement as a wave to the left or right . A wave left will turn me 180 degrees , as will a wave right . Again some people prefer this sort of movement to be 360 degrees . A lower DPI will make this movement take more moving . So in my example 800 DPI does the 180 degree turn , but a 1600 DPI should make it 360 degree . Obviously the faster you turn the harder it is to aim reliably .
