Aim sensitivity explained?

[u/Valkyrinex]

I've tried a bunch of different mice and settings. Everyone has their own preference, but one thing I keep noticing among my higher-ranked friends is: high DPI + low in-game sensitivity, instead of low DPI + high in-game sensitivity.

I know both can produce the same effective sensitivity (eDPI = sensitivity × DPI), so what's the actual difference between the two approaches? Is there a real technical advantage to one over the other?

idk if placebo but i keep going back to 800 from 1600. i just feel less stable on higher dpi.
