The dpi in the optical Mice
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. http://reviews.cnet.com/mice/razer-d...-32331184.html 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. http://www.firingsquad.com/matrix/bl..._G5_to_the_Max! 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. Paul |

Talal 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 ? http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2332323,00.asp 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/6326...ype/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.

So which one should I get for playing Zork? (Good explanation) |
