actually advantageous. Games with built-in Aim Assist such as the Call of
Duty titles, Overwatch, etc. will benefit from having a lower dpi setting
which allows the aim assist to better “pull” you onto the target’s hit box.
Having a higher dpi setting sends more data at a faster rate to the aim assist
processing and causes what amounts to an overload situation, where the aim
assist function is decreased or defeated altogether.
In games with aim assist it is important to test different resolution (DPI)
settings so you can maximize the benefit (or remove it) for your style of play.
For example, most Call of Duty games work very well with mouse
resolutions between 3500-5000dpi for those that like the slightly magnetic
feel of aim assist. If you prefer to snipe headshots, set the dpi higher at 6-16K
to help breakout of the aim assist bubble as it will tend to "pull" you down
when trying to snap quick headshots. Just make sure to match your K2 App
DPI setting to your mouse DPI or your sensitivity will be way off.
As a final note, one of the things that can complicate getting proper mouse
performance with high-end gaming mice is the manufacturer's custom mouse
driver software, which often needs to be correctly configured on a PC so it
doesn't default to some unknown/less effective setting. Mice from companies
like Corsair, Logitech, etc. have downloadable drivers for setup, and usually
store these settings in the mouse memory as configuration profiles. If you
have one of these mice that stores profiles internally (especially Logitech
mice as their software is a bit tricky), it is important to make sure you set the
mouse to maximum resolution in their software first, and program it to
default to that setting so the mouse is actually running at the full resolution
offered. Because these settings have to be programmed using a PC, it will it
will make your life much easier if you remember do this first before
connecting the mouse to your KeyMander 2 3Play. After setting up your
mouse, make sure to set the mouse resolution in the K2 App to match your
mouse setting. Having a 10,000+ DPI mouse is great, but if you forget to
change the default setting in the K2 App (default is 4000 DPI) you won't
getting the full benefit of all that resolution.
