G400 increasing DPI past 800 = skipping pixels?

[ Edited ]

Recently I've been looking into mouse settings ideal for gaming, and one of the things I've learned in this time is that you want as much accuracy as possible, that can be done by setting your windows speed to 6/11 notches and disabling mouse acceleration.

 

Now that leaves the only way to increase speed being ingame options and your mouse DPI, the problem I'm having is that when I increase my DPI past 800 it starts skipping pixels rather than actually increasing the DPI (How much the mouse moves related to how far you move your mouse)

 

Is there an update of some sort to fix this? Or does this mouse not actually support higher DPIs?

 

best proof I can provide -

Hi Yami,

 

Have you tried reinstalling the Logitech Gaming Software, as well what type of surface are you tracking the mouse on, for a baseline test you can try a blank white piece of paper to see if that produces a better result. Have you tried changing the sensitivity in the mouse software? As well you may want to try testing it on a second computer to rule out a hardware issue.

800 DPI is the 'sweet spot' DPI for the G400. Unless you actually want the mouse to move faster, leave it at 800 DPI (and then scale downwards in the game).
