Hi guys, just recieved my new logitech mx518 mouse. its awesome :) I bought it mainly for cs 1.6 as im really into that game. I just wanted to know what dpi you use the mouse at for sniping and when using other guns like the ak.

Cheers

Sean

I usually have it running at 800dpi for everyday (non-gaming) use as 1800 gets too twitchy and then swap back when gaming though it depends on the game. If you play around with Setpoint you can set what levels of accuracy you want rather than just the standard presets of 400, 800 and 1800.

I'm using 1800dpi, 2.6 in cs and 3 in windows. Feels great. But it's all prefference.

I believe that the one with 1800dpi is new revision.

Yeah I noticed, this new one I bought has 1800 dpi, although I doubt it'll make much difference. I think 1800 dpi is really quite hard to get used to on cs as every slight movement is recognised by the mice. I just changed it to max 1400 dpi...should be enough :)

Cya guys

thanks for the response

i dont understand when ppl use different settings for sniping than other guns it just seems really whack. All u need to do it turn up ur DPI to the max but turn down ur sensitivity until u find a comfortable mouse movement speed. No point of buying a mouse that can go up to 1800 DPI but u use 1400 dpi. Higher the dpi the more accurate ur mouse is.

I always have my MX518's dpi turned all the way up.
