The dpi in the optical Mice

C

CPU Brain

hi guys how are u all...

i wanna ask about the optical mouse i really love the pc game's and i
play it by the touch mouse in the laptop so after that i buy a desktop
((and its really good)) ;)

but i wanna now buy an optical mouse (Razer) so i found :

1000 dpi
2000 dpi
2500 dpi
4000 dpi

so what the different between the 1000 dpi mouse and the 4000 dpi
mouse ???
is it faster or play alone or what ?? because the different is 100
($) ??

Thanx Alot...

Find yourself a review first, so you can understand what impresses
people about them.

The DPI is how finely divided the mouse makes the surface it is
traveling over. At 4000DPI, it means the X and Y counters are going
to accumulate 4000 counts when the mouse moves an inch. In terms of
aiming, it means very small hand movements, give a detectable change
as input to a game. So if you're trying to move the barrel of your
gun by one pixel, the high DPI can aid in getting to just the right
position. (But the resolution of the screen is the other limitation,
and sometimes a game won't let you point exactly where you'd like
to point.)

The polling rate, is how often the computer checks the mouse
for accumulated counts. Cranking the rate, makes your processor
work a tiny bit harder. But it also reduces the latency before
the computer finds out the mouse has moved.

Some gamers worry about their mouse latency, but also the LCD
monitor has delay, between when the video signal goes into the
monitor, until the image appears on the screen. For FPS games,
stuff like that could be critical. Some LCD monitors have pretty
bad latency (measured in frame times). A CRT monitor, on the
other hand, is pretty immediate in its response.

and plz if u can help to find mouse i wanna bluetooth mouse so there
is no receiver with a high dpi...

thanx for ur support...

The Bluetooth transceiver plugs into a USB port. The wireless adds
an extra step in the communications between the mouse and the computer.
Does that affect the polling rate possible ? Is the protocol even the
same for a product like that ? If the Bluetooth loses a packet, and
a retransmission is necessary, what delay does that add ?

The review says it is OK for gaming, but so is the cheap
Logitech optical mouse I bought a few years ago. You can
game with just about anything. It all depends on how important
fast response is, in the games you play, as to whether
worrying about any of this makes sense or not.

The best way to shop for mice, is to try them out.
For example, the mouse I bought, was on display with about
20 other mice. I was able to check the mice for overall
size. I checked that the mouse I bought, was a good fit
for my hand. If you're buying the mouse over the Internet,
you lose some of the ability to verify it is what you want.

I was not able to find a DPI rating for that mouse. I tried
the Microsoft site, but they don't like to give specs to make
objective analysis possible. They prefer you to be hooked on
the "color" of the mouse, or the "look" of the mouse. Does
it color coordinate with your computer ? Is it shiny like your
computer, or the $50 printer you bought ? That is how
Microsoft thinks.

A reviewer here, *guesses* the resolution is about 800 DPI.
There is also a comment about lag (delay).

"Microsoft Arc - Mouse Review 11/13/2008"
http://www.buy.com/articles/loc/63266/channeltype/2/channelid/109/subtype/0/503.html

"Cons

* Sensitivity may be too low for some users
* Lag is a factor with small movements"

If you want relatively predictable behavior in your
input devices, stick with USB cabling.

HTH,
Paul
