What do you keep your mouse DPI at for shooters. Is it different for different types of games?

I read somewhere that a lot of pros used 800 dpi, so I tried that and it actually worked pretty well. But after I was done with that game, I found it really annoying to have to continuously sweep my mouse to turn around, so I moved it to 1200, and I pretty much keep it there now.

It's a muddy area. Most has to do with how it feels to you and that can vary from game to game as each game can have its own sensitivity sliders that increase/decrease at different levels.

There is, unfortunately, no one-size-fits-all setup. You're ultimately going to find what you feel is best and then adjust each game's sensitivity to match.

I haven't noticed much variation from game to game, but the games I play almost never have sensitivity sliders. I did play a demo during Next Fest where just barely moving the mouse caused you to do a 360, but adjusting my mouse didn't have an effect on it, and it didn't have a slider, so I just gave up. I wouldn't use sensitivity sliders anyway. I'd make a new profile in my mouse software and change it there. That way I wouldn't have to change anything every time I played the game, as the software recognizes what game you are playing and just pulls up the profile for that game.
