Hey, John!
Is it something in the Texas air? I just drove through the panhandle this week for the second time in two years, and when I got home, I had an irresistible urge to buy a .45 auto. My RIA 1911 is scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday...

Funny, the only time I drove through Texas I wanted to shoot myself too!

I'm sure there are some OK (not Oklahoma) parts (the ones without the aforementioned reptiles), I just remember thinking to myself 'Shyt! this is a massive state!', as I was driving between Louisiana and Arizona.

I was told years ago that the best view of Texas was in the rear view mirror, and the best place to be in Texas is the exact middle (so that, whichever way you go, you're on your way out). I find those to be unfair statements, now that I've seen at least some of that vast territory.

Reminds of the story about the Texan visiting England.
The Texan was boring the members of the club with his stories about how great Texas is. He said, "Texas is so big, you can get into a train, travel all day and all night, and you would still be in Texas."
An Englishman replied, "That is all right, old chap. We have trains like that in England too."

Have you been talking to his wife?

Perhaps this [^] will help with the sensitivity of your "mouse"?

DPI sensitivity is very important in gaming, especially in a first person shooter (sniper mode). It's also very important when doing graphic arts. Setting the "ticks" allows for a much more accurate placement when changing and/or locating pixels on the screen. The multiple modes allows for custom sensitivity for each application. Level 1 could be for Call of Duty, while level 2 would be for Photoshop. The sensitivity is pointless if you aren't doing something that requires precision on pixel placement.

My Logitech gaming mouse (I forget the model) also has a couple of switches on the mouse itself that allow switching between sensitivity levels. So while running/moving, high-sensitivity allows quick motions and almost instant turning. While, when using a sniper rifle, low-sensitivity allows for accurate headshots from vast distances.
The most useful is a button (on the side) you can hold down to go to lowest sensitivity while depressed, which I (actually my son, who is obsessed with CS:GO) can use to enter sniper mode temporarily and revert to previous sensitivity when released.

I am not asking of the usefullness of a single DPI setting. But the point of multiple of them!!

The point is having different settings for different software packages. Photoshop would have a different setting based for each function based on how accurate you need the mouse to be. CAD programs are a good example as well. Gamers use different settings depending on the game and role being played, i.e. sniper vs pilot.

ok, how do I use them then?
My mouse always seems to move at the same speed!

Once you get the DPI settings configured for the mouse in the Logitech software, there is a small button just below the mouse wheel. Click that button and you should see and indicator light as to which mode you are in. Each click of that button will change the mode and the sensitivity.

Higher DPI makes the mouse more sensitive, so you only have to move your wrist half as far to go from one side of the screen to the other. The biggest benefit is generally in gaming where response speed matters; however being able to fling your aim point across the screen in a small wrist twitch makes it hard to nail single pixel precision for aiming at targets far away. I've seen a number of gaming mice with a 'sniper mode' that lets you switch to a low DPI rate while holding a button for fine aiming. I'm not immediately clear what benefit a 5 level version would add, my cynisism suggests the "moar iz bettarz" silliness that infects much of the gaming world. OTOH I haven't played FPSes for about 15 years; and that's who the feature is mostly intended for.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Hi, I recently upgraded my very old dying mouse with a LogiTech 602, which I believe uses the same software you are using. I find that setting the dpi sensitivity to the lowest level works for me, but, I am not playing games with the mouse. And, I'm going through a "learning curve" adapting my mouse-hand to its sensitivity. One thing I don't is having the three customizable buttons just above where my mouse-hand (right) thumb grasps the mouse; it's too easy to accidentally click one of them, and on certain web-sites that has some strange like resetting the Tab to the home-page ... even though I have not programmed these buttons.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Interesting.... I might give it a go.. I thought the button changed the mode.. but I might have been wrong! ^^

Well, porn is one big motivator of new technologies. Look what internet is mostly made up of.

I agree. I worked for a company that developed hardware and software using autosteroscopy, VR, hands free, and haptics technologies. The products were focused on training for the military. We had several visitors from various companies interested in the technology. Interesting enough, most of them were from the porn industry.
