So... my mouse has these switches for DPI and something regarding Hertz...
I am curious about what the Hertz setting actually refers to... and I was also wondering... if it is possible to set a custom DPI value... specifically, I would prefer to set it at 800.
The current options available on my switch are 450, 1800, and 3500.

Those aren't hertz... DPI stands for dots per inch...

It’s basically mouse resolution or sensitivity. At lower DPI, you have less sensitivity because the sensor is taking fewer readings per inch traveled, and vice versa. I'm not sure if you can tweak the DPI beyond the factory presets, but some smart engineer probably picked these specific values because they're actually useful for real-world use...

That "Hz" setting refers to the USB polling rate. I’d suggest cranking it up to the maximum—1000—and just leaving it there.
If you don't see an option within the drivers to customize specific DPI increments, then I’m honestly a bit skeptical about those claims.

What exactly does that mean... USB polling rate? I did a bit of searching online, but I'm still a little lost... Is it just about how much faster the device reacts?

I suppose I was correct... it does react faster... though the distinction lies in just a few milliseconds... 😁

Polling rate Response time
125 Hz 8 ms
250 Hz 4 ms
500 Hz 2 ms
1000 Hz 1 ms
