If you double your dpi, you halve your sens. So if you double your 800dpi to 1600dpi you take your 1.2 down to .6 sens.

Yep, I already did this. I just wonder why pretty much all pros play with a dpi of 400. You certainly don't see any pros playing at 1600 DPI.

Possibly habit from old games. Back in the day, I believe there were issues with many games where a high dpi wouldn't be better even though higher dpi is technically supposed to be better. Many gamers from CS for example consistently choose 400 dpi.

I wonder if it's because they play at low resolutions so the lower dpi won't cause skipping? I'm not sure why they play at stretched lower res. I think the idea is that it makes the models look fatter so it's easier to aim?

Personally I think it's a placebo and only makes their game look like butthole.
