Mice DPI.

Alright well basically, I've been told that mice with a higher DPI are "better" because they're more precise or something. Recently I bought a keyboard that came with a mouse.

I went to a friends house and used the mouse and I noticed it was WAY faster than your standard mouse. The reason why this is a problem is because we were playing first person shooters. In the game, I turned the sensitivity to the lowest and it still seemed faster than normal. Is it just me or is it bad to use mice with high DPI's for gaming?

Also, I'd like to know what the DPI is for like a standard mouse. Like this one.

For me, the DPI for that mouse is nice and normal.

Thanks in advance.

Ehh, it's one of those things that you rarely hear about. Theoretically, higher mouse DPI means higher precision. But I've never seen competitive gamers put much merit into the claims. Not that I'm much into those circles.
