Making small movements smoother...?

I have a SteelSeries Qck mouse pad and a Logitech G400 mouse (set at 3600 DPI). I am a software programmer and there are times that I need the mouse to be precise (like when I'm editing text and need to set my cursor somewhere).

When I make large movements like swiping my mouse across my mouse pad, everything is completely smooth and perfectly fine. BUT...When I need to make very small, tiny movements, I find that sometimes my mouse gets stuck. So then I try to move it even harder, and then I overshoot my target.

Is it normal that doing very small movements is not going to be smooth (like trying to click between 2 certain characters in a text editor)? Would getting new mouse skates help with the small, tiny movements? If not, what would help?
 
Solution
Im using the default windows settings because I havent touched them since I installed my os on this rig, I have found its better to use the default settings and change the mouse around, as lower dpi is more stable.
Having it at high dpi is the most logical issue. I have my mouse on 125Hz and 1800 dpi and its pretty much smooth everywhere, once I bump it up to 3500 dpi it gets jumpy at small movements. I have the razer abyssus so I can switch between 2 different Hz settings and 3 Dpi setting.

I was using 3600 DPI and 3/11 windows sensitivty (dropped the windows sens to compensate for the DPI increase). What windows sens are you using?
