DPI mouse. How to set up and what does this mean?
A computer mouse is that working tool,which is used most often. If you use the most shabby mouse when working with documents or on the Internet, then this will not be enough to manipulate graphic images in Photoshop or play dynamic shooters. Affects the lack of DPI. And what is a DPI mouse? How do I configure it? Here we will try to understand this material. Let's start with the basics and a small "illiteracy". For it is important to understand the essence of the problem before you go into the settings.
What is DPI and what does it affect?
So, DPI is Dots Per Inchs. In other words, this is the number of points that the mouse cursor overcomes with its minimum movement. That is, the DPI measures the sensitivity of the mouse. And this is a very important parameter in games and graphics editors. You need to know the DPI mouse and how to configure it, because this directly affects the efficiency in the game and the productivity in the work. With the mouse that creeps like a turtle, there's nothing to do in online shooters and action games. The sensitivity of the manipulator is a very important parameter.
The most common office mice have only one levelsensitivity - about 1000 DPI. More advanced models can have 3500, 6000 and even 12000 DPI. But these are all specialized gaming mice with a high resolution sensor and an impressive amount of DPI. How to set it up on these mice? On many for this there is a special button. Others give such an opportunity only when using special software. In any case, you can configure DPI only on the mouse that supports this function. In any other way.
Configuring with standard Windows tools
How to configure a DPI mouse with an operating systemsystem Windows? Yes, there is such an option. But, strictly speaking, the sensitivity is adjusted only within certain limits. Above the head mouse can not jump. So, to configure, we need to go to "Control Panel", then to "Mouse" and find there "Speed of the pointer". Setting this parameter with trial and error can increase the sensitivity of the mouse. But the main thing is not to overdo it. Otherwise, the pointer will fly around the screen like a mad one.
Strictly speaking, with this method of settingnot the hardware data of the mouse, but its system parameters. The mouse remains the same as it was. But this "placebo effect" can help at first (before buying a normal gaming mouse). "Control Panel" is one of those places where you can configure the DPI mouse without any problems. Even though the hardware sensitivity of the mouse is completely irrelevant.
Setting on the mouse A4Tech X7
How to configure DPI mouse X7? Many novice users ask this question, because they can not find anything similar to the sensitivity setting in the official software from the manufacturer. Here everything is simple. On the case of the mouse X7 there is an inconspicuous oval button of black color. It is located on the top of the case. This button is responsible for changing the sensitivity of the device. Pressing this button can increase the DPI to 6000. And this is a completely different level.
X7 is a gamer mouse. Therefore, the presence of such an option is not surprising. But even some budget mice are able to have such a "chip". Some not particularly playful models of mice "Defender" also have such a button. This is very convenient, because you can work with documents at the same level of sensitivity, and as soon as the game is started, you can immediately include an elevated level. Now we know all about how to configure the DPI of the X7 mouse. Problems with the search for the "magic button" should not arise from anyone.
Setting on the mouse A4Tech Bloody
Series Bloody refers to the top gamingdevices. This means that it already has a pretty decent sensitivity parameter. However, not all of them are satisfied. How to configure DPI Mouse Bloody? Only with the help of specialized software, which comes complete with a mouse. In the mouse parameters you need to find the "Sensitivity" tab. When you click on it, a window with many settings opens. But we are only interested in DPI. We'll look for him.
In the required box you need to set the amountDPI, which we need at this moment. After that, click on the "OK" or "Apply" button. It is advisable to reboot the computer after making changes. After that, the sensitivity of the mouse will be changed. As you can see, it's very easy to change the DPI of the mouse. How to configure the mouse series Bloody, we have already dismantled.
If you overdo with DPI
Of course, increasing the sensitivity of the mouse is a mattergood. But it also does not tolerate negligence. Fanaticism is not allowed here, for this is not the case when more is better. You need to focus on your feelings. If you "lift" the DPI to unattainable heights, then the mouse will not be able to be used. At the slightest movement of the manipulator, the cursor will jump from one corner of the screen to the other. Therefore, you need to add sensitivity a little. If you see that the cursor behaves inadequately, then lower the sensitivity. Only by trial and error can an ideal result be achieved.
The easiest way to adjust the amount of DPI usingSpecial software that comes with the mouse. There is a special window for checking the sensor resolution that you are trying to apply. So you can test this sensitivity. A search with sensitivity can also negatively affect the performance of the sensor itself. And this is a completely different level of danger. So be careful with your experiments.
Conclusion
So, we have analyzed what the DPI mouse is likeset it up and what is fraught with non-compliance with basic security rules for games with mouse sensitivity. Remember, the DPI change is supported only by the mouse, in which this option is stored in hardware. Without this, nothing at all.
