Hello guys this video is presented by SM Therapy in this video I want to talk about DPI. Let's start. DPI explained that's per inch, DPI is a measurement of how sensitive a mouse is. The higher a mouse's DPI, the farther the cursor on your screen will move when you move the mouse. A mouse with a higher DPI setting detects and reacts to smaller movements, a higher DPI isn't always better. You don't want your mouse cursor to fly all the way across the screen when you move your mouse a little bit. On the other hand, a higher DPI setting helps your mouse detect and respond to smaller movements so you can point at things more accurately. For example, let's say you're playing a first person shooter game when zooming in with a sniper rifle and trying to precisely aim at small targets. A high DPI could be valuable by allowing you to smoothly aim with small mouse movements. When playing the game normally without a zoomed in sniper rifle, this high DPI may be too sensitive. This is why many high in gaming mouse had buttons that you can flick do, switch between DPI settings on the flow and playing a game. DPI is different from the typical mouse sensitivity setting. DPI refers to a mouse's hardware capabilities, while sensitivity is just a software setting. For example, let's say you have a very cheap mouse with low DPI and you crank up the sensitivity. If you try to aim at small targets, you'll see the mouse cursor jump around as you move it. The mouse hardware isn't as sensitive, so it doesn't detect the smaller movements. You are operating system just, compensates by moving your cursor farther when it does detect the movement, so the movement isn't as smooth. A high DPI mouse can also be paired with a low sensitivity setting, so the cursor won't fly across the screen when you move it, but the movement will stay smooth. High DPI mice are more useful if you have a higher resolution monitor. If you're playing a game on a low resolution 1366x768 laptop screen, you don't necessarily need that high DPI. On the other hand, if you're playing a game on a 3840x2164K monitor, a higher DPI lense, you move your mouse cursor across the screen smoothly without having to drag your mouse across your entire desk.
