How to use the dpi analyzer

[cchhqq]

i want to know the real dpi of my mouse. But when i use it, all my mouse shows 400.05 dpi. Same for my ec2a, rival 310, castor, gpro and g403. But I feel like those mice with 3310 like ec2a are slower. Is my feeling wrong? or i dont use the dpi analyzer the correct way? I heard that real dpi of ec2a is 375. not sure if this is real.

Not knowing how your measure, I assume you are looking at the monitor when measuring. There is no way 5 different mice are measuring even close to each other. Based on measurements of several high profile mice with a 0.005 inch accurate device this is all but impossible.

Maybe the instructions need an update, but the goal of the DPI Analyzer is not to hit 0% deviation. The goal is to move your mouse a set distance without looking at the analyzer, then look at the result. I suspect a lot of users are looking at the deviation and aiming for 0%, not caring about the actual distance moved (which is the most important part). Small adjustments make a big impact here.

If you set i.e. 5 inches with 400 DPI, you need to click and hold the red cross hair, look at your mouse pad (where your presumably have a 5 inch target mapped out), move the mouse the 5 inches indicated on the mouse pad and release. THEN look at the result. If you do even small adjustments with your wrist trying to match 0%, the result will be invalid.
