is mouse sensitivity important in bullet games?

I have a mouse with a dpi of 2100, is it good for 3min and bullet chess or is it too weak? I heard that bullet and 3min chess requires 2500 to 3200 dpi so is my mouse not good for "fast chess"?

If your comfortable with 2100, then keep it. If not make it higher. Or you can try all of the settings out and see which fits the best.

I feel I am used to 2100, if I try higher dpi I just can't handle the mouse.

it depends, do you usually play bullet bro?

Well, it's not that important unless it's too low/high.

Yes, altho I am really new to chess and don't play on a high level. I haven't played that many games either...
I don't think mouse sens is a major factor tho.

ok, review taken!

High level FPS players fluctuate anywhere between like 400-2000ish DPI, in games where you need to get shots off in fractions of a second. Your optimal DPI is therefore in the sweet spot between "feeling" fast but not so fast it causes you to mouseslip. I'm terrible at all games, but that said, fancy gear doesn't come with skills. happy.png

Whatever you're comfortable with. If your mouse has adjustable DPI, just try different settings until you find what is comfortable for you. If you feel you need quicker mouse control, you can try some online aimtrainers, I think aimtrainer.io is a good one. No need to spend money or feel that your gear is not enough.

You could even make it part of your chess routine, something to do to clear your head in between studying puzzles or whatever you do to improve. happy.png

No wonder you tilt so hard.

You're super strong for playing on mobile, or maybe there isn't as big of a difference as I think there is between mobile and PC.

I think 800 DPI is boss config for bullet

I don't play blitz, bullet or berserk but for my two penneth I think you'd do better in reducing the size of the board window so the mouse has a physical shorter distance for any given move.

opterayon

Seemingly a sound line of reasoning, until you consider the entire discussion of DPI ranges also adjusts for how much physical distance the mouse needs to move to register cursor input, although that could be something to consider if perhaps your peripheral vision is not the best. I always like my gameboard to be as large as possible, but that's just my personal preference.

You're at a disadvantage using any mouse against an opponent using a touchscreen in a bullet game. JMTC.

DEPENDS, the touchscreen on mobile is very good for 15-30 sec games but I don't think that's an advantage tho, considering that mobile screens may be too crumpled to see in. If you are talking about computer touch screen, you know who has the advantage happy.png
