WTF no dpi switch one of the best/most popular gaming mouse had no dpi OMG

Quickly looked, Logitech G302 Daedalus Prime also 40% discount, bought one

Why is there no DPI button,switch on the razer deathadder essential, come on it's one of the most popular gaming mouse ever mabye the only mouse surpassed a deathadder is the old logitech mx518

I use the forward button as DPI switch as I never use it really.

gasolin · Aug 30, 2016

I like forward and back buttons, just surprised i didn't noticed it when i tried it yesterday

I mean isn't dpi button one of the most essential thing on a gaming mouse?

Nope, not for me really. My concerns are grip, the larger the better as my pawn isn't really small and doesn't cause strain/pain holding it. Next thing is sensor precision, no axis bugs.

I am not a MMO gamer... then Naga is your thing. I use keyboard properly for other extra items. Switching DPI isn't really a priority for me... I use my mouse always on max really. I guess it really depends on the real screen DPI.

For the price, the mouse is not bad. But that's a matter of personal taste. Your choice.

I set one DPI and keep it, but I am weird.

Same with the single DPI since its just easier. I hate the DPI button on my MX780 and wish it was something else, like a button that keeps giving me free money or pretty women.

That's how I roll too, one dpi to rule them all.

I didn't say the DPI thing was what made me weird.

CounterZeus · Aug 30, 2016

I never switch DPI as well..

INSTG8R · Aug 31, 2016

Single DPI here as well and my G500 has the buttons.

I use my DPI switch occasionally. Doesn't anyone else lower it a bit for sniping or raise it a bit when you get in some annoying heavy slow turning vehicle?

Nah.

gaximodo · Aug 31, 2016

I don't see why would one change DPI settings all the time - if you are that sensitive and capable of getting use to different DPI settings on the go I'm sure you would rather to create game profiles which changes DPIs automatically.
