As I said, the pixels are just a representation of the ingame geometry. You don't aim at pixels. You aim at geometry. People got away with 640 wide resolutions in counter-strike for YEARS, despite the game requiring such ridiculous precision, because they aimed at the geometry that the pixels implied, not the actual pixels. Please give a real actual legitimate reason why you think that for 3d games that individual pixels are so important and not the geometry.

I'm referring to this:

It's very wrong, it implies that if you have a very high resolution monitor, you need a higher DPI mouse, or to lower your sensitivity. It's totally wrong, the pixels on your screen don't matter in TF2 aside from how well they do or don't show the ingame geometry.

wonderland is totally right.

If you never notice any problems with it then it should be fine. This guide seems to mostly be for people looking for new mice.

I refreshed and this happened

No. Low sensitivities are fine.

They're trying to relate DPI to pixels on the screen, which are affected by FoV.

If you think you need to write out equations to look at the mathematical relationships that are already there there's something wrong with you.

yaw * sensitivity = minimum angle.
inches per 360 = minimum angle * DPI.
desired inches per 360: subjective.
desired precision: based on ingame geometry.
pixels on screen: representation of ingame geometry. not the actual geometry.
pixels according to ingame geometry: changes according to fov, game engine, and where things are on screen.

Pixel skipping really doesn't matter. You just need a high enough DPI to actually aim accurately over the actual geometry that's there. If it's tiny geometry, you need a low inches/360 or a high DPI. Easy.

You told people to give avoiding pixel skipping a higher priority than using a comfortable sensitivity, so I think yes, you essenitially did.

No... Everything I said is plain math. If you can't see where it fits yourself and rely on other highly specific things to give you a complete picture of everything, when they're just highly specific like what I said, I don't know what to tell you. "Pixel skipping is a thing" doesn't mean "pixel skipping is all that matters".

Pixel skipping isn't what matters, it's about the game you play. In TF2 you really do not need pixel perfect precision unless you spend *all* of your time ambassador sniping. There's just nothing that needs it. By your logic a higher FOV requires lower DPI because the pixels in the center of the screen are smaller, but no, the required precision is the same. "Don't use more DPI than is necessary to avoid pixel skipping" is terrible advice, because if you do play with a low resolution, you actually might still need the extra precision, especially if you have a high sensitivity. Your aim isn't measured in pixels, it's measured in angles. yes, you need fine-enough angle control, but above 800 dpi it stops mattering for 90% of games unless you play with a wicked high sens.

Raw input actually increases input lag on some(a minority) systems. It's not that important if you have windows acceleration disabled and the cursor sensitivity is on 1:1.

Filtering can actually help people if they're stuck with a 125hz mouse but push a higher framerate than that. It reduces display stutter. If you play on a really low framerate though the filtering can cause noticeable lag. However, using a 125hz mouse with a framerate above 125 is the only way to make the ingame mouse acceleration consistent, so YMMV if you're taking advantage of that.

3.5mm actually isn't bad except in terms of mice that are made for hard pads. the DA definitely feel like a soft pad mouse to me. I've only had like one mouse in my whole life with less than 2-2.5mm, maybe my experience is biased.

the wheel and bad glides are definitely just razer QC being razer. having bad glides can contribute to extra high LOD as well because they sink into the mouse more.

for other peoples' sake, the black edition is functionally identical to the 3.5g except for the casing

i've had to take mine apart and fix it at least five times, performs fucking great though

Nope. Bind a button to fix it.

yes

because you can't actually fuck a cartoon character, and impossible things are always better, and you can like do impossible stuff in graphical designs that doesn't even make sense on a real person
also everything is soul-crushingly cute and artists don't like to draw flaws, so it's easier to find good-looking porn
