Different sens but same eDPI

I always played at 7/800dpi and decided to try 3.5/1600dpi to see if it felt different. I discovered something weird. With my original sens, I could do full turns and cover about 3/4s of my mousepad. But when I switched to the new sens, my mouse had to go to the end of my mousepad, about an extra 20in. What gives? It’s the same eDPI right? For context, I use a G502 Hero. Has anyone experienced anything like this before?

Depending on your mouse, higher dpi reads more accurately to a point.
You will have to nerd out and find what sensor your mouse uses and search it to find out it’s highest accurate dpi setting.

Some mice can be set to 10K dpi, but they don’t really work well over 800 or 1200. Maybe sensor noise or scaling problems.
A fancy $$$ mouse might work accurately up to 20K dpi, not that you would use that.

Low is better.

High DPI means it wont filter out the tiny jitter movements u make. So you will start missing more. Its the perfect example of more aint being better.

High DPI when you want to move left your mouse will also register the tiny upwards movement where in low DPI this would be ignored.
