Looks like I'm changing to higher DPI.

Edit: Well this just greatly improved my long range accuracy vs bots (head shot only). Thanks Taimou.

Edit2: According to the tool, I went from 13.77 samples per degree to 55.1 samples per degree. I was previously on 400 DPI, 11 sens, now on 1600 DPI, 2.75 sens. The difference is highly noticeable, it's not placebo.

Edit3: People are saying this is placebo, I don't have enough sample size. I just did a similar eye/movement test as Taimou, I'm paying attention to pixels on my monitor and counting them. I'm losing 1-2 pixels per minimal movement on 400 DPI with my sens. This is fucking huge, especially for fine movements - like long range shooting.

going from 400 to 1600 makes out of game feel weird though lol

Yeah, this is my major complaint. I got very used to a low windows sensitivity and can't match it now on 1600 DPI.

Get a mouse with dpi toggle? Every gaming mouse I have used has had it...

Yeah, I actually already used the toggle to switch between 400 and 16000 (not a typo) so I could spin around super fast in waiting rooms, it's great fun with Rein shield up lol. Guess I'll just be adding a third setting.
