So I'm having a sort of tough time adjusting my mouse (I just got the CM Sentinel)...

Are folks generally using max DPI + low sensitivity?

max dpi on your mouse an sensitivty used to make the speed comfortable.
keep windows speed slider at the middle and use dpi toggle for bearable speed in windows (changing windows sensitivty causes the mouse to skip pixels and lose precision for gaming)

though there really isn't usually much point in dpi over around 2000 on 1920X1080 resolution as its already pixel perfect precision around that point, but the 2560X1600 monitors are when >3000 dpi mouse start to see a use over the lower dpi mice. hence the reason the g5 and deathadder still see a lot of use.

I have seen that mentioned before about certain resolutions needing a specific dpi to accomplish pixel precision. How do you figure that out for different resolutions? you mentioned roughly 2000 dpi for 1920x1080 but what about 1920x1200, 1680x1050, 1440x900 etc.

How do you like your CM Sentinel. I just got mine a week ago and loving it. I'm currently running X-2000 and Y-2000. Any higher, it'll just be everywhere and any lower, it'll take forever.

Switching to 2000/2000 made a world of difference. A lot better now.

Question -- does the "mouse sensitivity" in your driver mirror the windows pointer speed and vice versa?

Not sure what you mean? Does setting the mouse from the program effect the speed on windows. It sort of affects both ways. I hope this answers your question.

Yes. If I go into Windows and change the pointer speed to say 5, that's what will show up as the "mouse sensitivity" in the driver program and vice versa. Reason why I'm confused by this is because my old Razer drivers used to have these two as separate features.
