Mouse DPI

Hello Ray,

DPI is the standard used to measure the mouse sensitivity, expressed as the number of DPIs (dots per linear inch) that a device can detect. By changing the DPI, you can instantly adjust pointer speed for precision tasks,
such as in-game targeting or photo editing. The greater the number of DPIs, the higher the mouse sensitivity, and the faster the pointer speed.
PS/2 is a type of port used by older computers for connecting input devices such as keyboards and mice, which had six pins with a circular shape.

Some mouse models include dedicated buttons (DPI On-the-fly buttons) you can use to instantly adjust your mouse sensitivity (DPI).

Thank you.

 

Mouse has lower DPI in W7...

I noticed that my mouse, the Intellimouse Explorer 3.0, has lower DPI in Windows 7 than in Vista and XP. I'm certain because the drop in DPI is pretty big and easy to notice, probably like a 50% drop and it takes an extra swipe to get to where I want. There are no W7 drivers (couldn't find them online, CD says it won't run due to compatibility issues) plus I don't think that's the issue since I didn't install the drivers on Vista (family rig) or XP (lappy).

Any suggestions on how to solve it?
