No sir.

Only the new generation of mice can be adjusted. You can adjust the sensitivity, that's about it.

My Copperhead has two buttons on the side for adjusting the DPI from 400 to 2000 or you can set it to stay at 2000DPI and adjust the sensitivity, that's what I do.

Your going to have to get a G5 or a Copperhead or something like that if you wan adjustability.

Definetly with sniping. I grab my m95 and as I'm setting up, I bump the DPI down 2 notches and it makes me sooo much more accurate. Great thing to have

DPI = Dots per inch

How many dots per linear inch I believe. So, obviously the moer dots, the more precise

Sensitivity is just how much the curser moves per movement you make on the mouse
