It may be an absurd amount of DPI, but even then this mouse looks like a worthy upgrade from my G500. The G500 has a 5200dpi sensor, and although at first I used it at like 1200dpi, I have since learned that you can use the full 5200dpi by simply adjusting the mouse sensibility to the minimum and increasing the dpi. It's noticeably more responsive and precise, despite traveling the same exact amount of pixels with the same motion.

So all in all, I can say I use my g500 to the fullest.

12,000dpi?! That's over 9000!!!
You can tell other mice makers will start to do the same thing or try to beat Logitech's G502 sensor. Sooner or later well start seeing even more insane dpi ratings.

I`m now sad that i bought a Razer Taipan last year, it`s a good performing mouse but the build quality is awful even vs my old Logitech M510 that it has replaced. And sometimes it has glitches like pointer going bananas for few moments on the screen.

But yeah ... that 12000 dpi is just for kids that wants big numbers to feel ok.

It`s sad how the today`s tech is more driven by the marketing team than the development team.

looks like a good upgrade from my g9x. apparently this one is one of the few mice releasing right now with adjustable weight, which is my favorite feature in my G9x.

Is there any practical use for a mouse this sensitive?

It's definitely harder to target when your mouse pointer/crosshair is moving 1000KPH. I like a good 450-600 DPI for shooters because it makes for easier aim and headshots. I'll bump it up for vehicle guns, but 12000DPI? If you have that kind of control, more power to you!

I guess that's good for the technological advancement of the mouse sensor?

I hope it will have a perfect sensor like the G400, where you can turn off the built-in acceleration they have put into all their laser sensors since after the Logitech G5 to stop the stupid cloth pad people from whining about "deceleration" when using a laser mouse on something other than a hardpad.

It's not. A lot of FPS pros use 400-800 DPI.

12k DPI is just a gimmick. I'll just keep using my G400 and 800 DPI, thank you very much.

in competitive CS they swear by a low DPI. I use 450 with 1.1 in game sensitivity and it works quite nicely when you need high accuracy. I tried playing(6 months) with a higher DPI and lower sensitivity for a while and it seemed like it didn't really make a difference. Seems like its all relative. When I replace my G400 I may give higher DPI another shot. Finding the right sensitivity can be difficult after you get a high res monitor. Needs to be super accurate but high enough so you can still snap to stuff. FWP My monitors res is too high to find a good sensitivity...

I use 800 DPI in games and 1800 DPI on desktop (800 DPI is too low for 2560x1440). G400 can switch DPI on the fly so it's no big deal.

The high dpi helps if you have a screen with a extreme resolution and would want to get the cursor across from one end to the other, with minimal hand movement or for those who doesn't have a large space to move their mouse.

Took my words. My best practice to high DPIs are the fact that i can go end-to-end way faster at high DPIs. When using multiple screens its even better. Try a mouse with 1200dpi with a 24" Full HD and a extended 32" Full HD TV at same time to see what i mean.

I won't get any mouse from logitech unless it's verified that their sensors no longer have built in (non disable able) mouse acceleration like the G9X had.

12K dpi is not only for the kid who want high numbers, a high dpi also improves the responses at lower dpi-settings.
but what is a better update imho is the side button placement, they are now shifted.
Next thing to do is to wait the G702 version then.

is it heavier than G500 without weight? i'm using G500 and it's really heavy for me and uncomfortable and i'm thinking about buying it if it's lighter.

There is no acceleration in the G9x as far as I understand as long as you disable it in setpoint plus use the CPL mousefix in Windows.

I have been using mine for about 2 weeks now and really like it. I loaded it up with all the weight since I prefer a heavier fell and dumbed down the sensitivity since at the higher levels it was a mouse point on crack, speed and molly. Too much for me.

Overall I really like this mouse. Good purchase for me (although again I am not taking advantage of the insane DPI).

This sensor is great, not because of the high max DPI though. Before this mouse, every sensor with above 3,000 DPI had significant sensor lag, aka smoothing. The g502 does not. Also, even mice with the gold standard 3090 sensor still had some acceleration and pixel loss at high speeds, the sensor the g502 has does not. The g502 also has unprecedented max perfect control speed and a very low lod when you tune it for your mouspad. Finally it has native dpi steps every 50 dpi step from 200dpi to 12,000 so it will perform brilliantly at any dpi you want to play at. Basically mouse manufactures over the years have sacrificed performance to better marketable stats for the masses, like working hard on obtaining insane DPIs and this is the first sensor that has good marketable stats without sacrificing the performance enthusiasts desire.

high dpi does not improve responsiveness. The only benefits to high dpi is when you aren't in first or third person and you have extremely high resolution. like 4k or higher.In first person shooters, mouse counts move small degrees so resolution has nothing to do with sensitivity. High DPI is only included in mice because marketing teams tell the engineers higher DPI sells better. Higher DPI usually means smoothing to counter jitter which usually means the sensor is less responsive, so 99% of the time higher DPI actually means the opposite of what you think it means. The g502 is the exception and has zero smoothing even though it has high dpi with its' sensor's revolutionary design.

No one wants "gamepad" buttons on a mouse, they suck hard and they will make ur life miserable. Mechanical is the way to go for both keyboards and mice.

I got this mouse a month ago and it was a huge upgrade from my old Logitech G5, the grip, the handling, everything seems soo much better on it, as well as the clicking.
