    You could use modded drivers/setpoint. But why would you want less then 400 dpi?

    i googled but didn't find anything, the thing is that b4 the G5 i had the MX-518 for a day and i found its lowest DPI (400) to be much slower than that of the G5 (which is 400 also) now i like my mouse to be slow when sniping or using iron sights etc.....i was think maybe i can get it to go like 200DPI???like the G9........

    oh and i like low DPI when i am making Graffitti on facebook :D

    I would recommend turning the general speed of the mouse down.

    You can slow down the mouse via the Control Panel in Windows. You want DPI to be higher, otherwise the mouse will not effectively determine what you are doing.

    DPI is the mouse control on "how fast it moves" but it also decreases its precisenesses, windows has a secondary control "mouse speed" or "mouse sensitivity" and that will take the input from the mouse and slow it down.

    Its the later that you want to change and go ahead and raise the dpi back up some I personally use 800dpi even tho I have a 1600dpi mouse that way I can click into 1600 for easy scroll/lazy web surfing.
