What is the mouse DPI?
DPI (Dots per inch) is a measurement used to show how many pixels your mouse can move when you move it by one Inch, it is also the measurement of sensitivity of the mouse. For example, if your mouse has 1200 DPI then moving the mouse by one inch means the cursor moves 1200 pixels on your screen.
Higher the DPI means your mouse is highly sensitive. A higher DPI is not always better, it makes the cursor fly on your screen when you mouse little bit. By setting a higher DPI will help your mouse to detect and respond to smaller movements so you can point at things more accurately. DPI settings are more important especially for the people who play games.
Mostly used in but not limited to video games (where one needs to switch between precision and speed), CAD and graphics design (since design needs precision to squeeze every bit of pixel).
