 Why do pro gamers use 400 dpi before I start this video is not for controller players So if you're on controller, um, I'm sorry You probably see for me pros like tea food or symphony use 400 dpi or ask yourself why almost every Valorant or CS go pro Uses 400 first. Let me show you what 400 dpi is Dpi is basically your mouse sensitivity 400 is definitely on the lower side of that. In fact, if you see a pro with a huge mousepad They most likely use 400 dpi another sign someone is using 400 dpi It's when they use your whole arm to aim, which I will get into later It's basically how many dots per inch you can move on your mouse Which affects the speed and sensitivity of it first let me show you the benefits of 400 dpi and why it's better than 800 and 1600 pros love the sensitivity because they can be more accurate with their aim lower Sensitivities are more accurate because you can move your mouse into a specific direction before firing, which is also called Micro adjustments this lets you aim at a specific angle For example, if you want to adjust to someone's head your aim will be more fluent than if you have 1600 dpi where you will have a harder time aiming at a specific point pros Usually use their whole arm to make big movements like when you're trying to go into and hold another Direction and they use their wrist and fingers to aim at something for example Think of a big medium and small paint brush The big one is for your arm the middle one for your hand and the small one for your fingers with higher dpi You're not using your arm to aim So you're missing out on a whole new style of aiming if you're using a higher dpi It's way easier to look in a different direction But it's way harder to aim at a specific spot without your crosser moving a little bit off Plus 400 dpi pros get so used to it that they don't even feel like it's hard to move their whole mouse Through their whole mouse pad another reason pros use 400 dpi is because your tracking and flicking aim also improves Having a higher dpi won't be as stable So if you tilt your mouse like a centimeter it's going to ruin your aim with a low dpi You can track and fix some move your aim with ease You don't have to put as much pressure on your wrist when you can just move your whole arm in a certain direction Flicking is also easier because it's much more accurate Since an enemy is exposed to a farther direction Having your gun aim at a precise spot is key and 400 dpi lets you do that Aiming isn't the only thing that low dpi is good for pros use 400 dpi for their long-term health too pros game day after day for years and hours and hours on end and if you Use risk aiming you can really develop some issues You don't want problems like carpal tunnel syndrome can cause tingling and numbness in your wrist and hand if you want To play competitively for years arm aiming is the way to go So why do pros use 400 dpi and a high sense and not a high dpi and low sense in some games like CS go There's something called frame skipping frame skipping is when your crosshair aims out of frame But not exactly at the target this can seem annoying It won't affect your game as much but for pros frame skipping is really hard to get over with so they just switch to 400 for the best thing possible this isn't the main reason but it's still something the pros hate like everything There are some exceptions to this a small percentage of top pros still use a medium to high Sensitivity because they can move faster. So in conclusion, this is all mean that used to switch to 400 dpi Not really everyone always has a sensitivity as a personal preference They're not wrong, but you still have to think about how high is too much and how low is too low I would say around 400 to 1600 is okay for the average person Also keep in mind dpi is nothing without in-game sensitivity to try to adjust to a more lower sensitivity to I would say that if you work your way down to 400 dpi It will be the most beneficial But if you're comfortable with your sensitivity right now, you're not so bad In fact, many pros use 800 dpi since they're better with that fast paced flicking space style This isn't for everyone though So try to choose a dpi and stick with it because if you change it too much It's gonna hurt more than help because you got to readjust every time Thanks for watching and let's have a discussion about this in comments below
