## Questions and answers

### What is the best DPI for gaming?

Most competitive FPS players use 400 or 800 DPI. Lower DPI (400) gives more precise control at the cost of needing more mousepad space. 800 DPI is the most popular choice among CS2 and Valorant pros for its balance of precision and speed.

### What DPI do most CS2 pros use?

About 70% of CS2 professional players use 400 DPI. The rest predominantly use 800 DPI. Very few pros use 1600+ DPI for FPS games.

### Does higher DPI mean better aim?

No. Higher DPI means faster cursor movement, not better aim. Lower DPI with proportionally higher in-game sensitivity gives the same eDPI with more control.

### What mousepad size do I need for low DPI?

At 400 DPI with typical CS2 sensitivity, a 40cm wide mousepad gives approximately 46cm/360. Most pros use XL mousepads (45-90cm wide) for comfortable low-DPI play.
