FAQs
Can I test exact mouse DPI in the browser? +
A browser cannot read the hardware DPI value directly. It can help you compare whether sensitivity changes consistently across DPI/CPI steps and pointer settings.
Why does my mouse DPI feel wrong? +
Profile software, onboard memory, OS pointer speed, acceleration, and game settings can all change sensitivity. Reset profiles before blaming hardware.
Should I replace a mouse for DPI problems? +
Only when DPI/CPI steps behave inconsistently across reset profiles and another machine. Settings are the common first cause.
