Gaming Mouse Terminology Resolution

1. DPI (dot per inch):

DPI is the number of points reported to the system when the mouse moves per inch.

2. CPI:

CPI is the number of mobile signals that are emitted to the system when the mouse moves 1 inches.

3. Mousespeed, MouseThreshold1 and MouseThreshold2:

Mousespeed determines how fast the cursor should move (the number of pixel) to correspond to when the mouse moves. These three parameters together determine: When the mouse moves quickly, the cursor under what circumstances, with what acceleration movement (note, is the acceleration, not speed).

When the mouse moves slowly, the system moves the cursor speed and the mouse movement speed to a fixed proportion. However, when the mouse moves faster than MouseThreshold1 or MouseThreshold1, the system will speed up the cursor movement, the cursor will move faster than the mouse movement speed of twice or 4 times times.

The value of Mousespeed can be 0,1,2.

0 means no acceleration

1 means that when the mouse moves at or above the MouseThreshold1, the cursor moves at a speed of 2.

2 means that when the mouse moves at or exceeds the MouseThreshold1 value, the cursor moves at a speed of 2, When the mouse moves at or above the speed of The value of the MOUSETHRESHOLD2, the cursor movement speed is multiplied by 4.

4. Lift-off Distance

Working height refers to the height at which the mouse is still able to work when it leaves the mouse pad.

5. Polling rate

Rate of return. Generally 125Hz, that is, the mouse 8ms return once (if it is 1000Hz, then 1ms return once)

6. Sniper (Snipe) key

When pressed, the DPI is temporarily lowered to a preset level (such as 1600DPI-400DPI), and then back to normal level after letting go.

7. Shift key

Just like the shift or FN key of keyboard, a key performs a different function when it is pressed and then a key is pressed.
