    Hi all!
    I got compensated by Dell for some stuff and they gave me a razer mamba..
    I have just started using it, and it's awesome but i have some issues with it.
    Can any of the owners really say that they can game @ 5600 DPI ?
    This thing is waaaay to sensitive at that resolution..
    Also, i wanted to ask you to share your setup, i mean there's those sensitivity up/down buttons, what DPI do you assign to it ?
    I assume one for windows one for gaming right ?
    What values seem comfortable to you ?
    I can't seem to get used to going over 3000, is this the case with you guys too?

    Thanks all!

    more dpi != better

    OR

    increase the DPI of the hardware, lower the mouse sensitivity in software.

    I have an orochi and the max is 4k DPI.

    That is WAY too sensitive for me. To be honest, I usually use the orochi in BT mode because it maxes out at 2k DPI and that is perfect for me.

    I will say that I am no professional/tournament gamer so YMMV.

    Just set it on the DPI that works best for you.

    In the future, you may bump it up a little at a time and try to get used to it.
