Too many dpi settings?

[beefwellington]

I just ordered a Gigabyte M6980 in the recent epic Aria superspecial session, and although I really like the shape etc of the mouse (and can forgive the pimpin LEDs), I'm not sure I see the point in having 3 dpi settings - 2 would be great for FPSs, with one for general use and a lower setting for sniping, but having to toggle between 3 makes it pretty annoying to switch back an forth. Does anyone actually use 3 dpi settings? Kinda wish I'd done a bit more research and bought one with just two, but hey, only had it for a few days yet so may grow on me!

i only use one and its pretty low. at the unofficial meet every one turned theirs up i turned mine down. if hes behind you your probably dead already just take it.

You might be able to adjust it. I know razer ones you can customise just about everything but I am also sure you can find a random customisation tool someone has made online.

only 3?

i have 5 :p

i only use 3 tbh tho, 1 for run and gun, 1 for snipy snipe and then one for 2d stuff.

I have 5 but I can set up custom ones as well.

My Rokkat kova+ has 4 I think, but got it configured to switch between the two just by holding one of the side buttons and pressing the scroll wheel :)

No experience of other gaming mice though.

I have 5 and keep it on the same setting all the time. :p

I'm pretty sure u can modify/disable via the software? I know for setpoint (logitech) u can have as many as 5 dpi settings and as little as 1, as well as being able to customise each dpi level for the g5. I'd be very surprised if the gigabyte software didn't allow u to do the same.

Saying that, it's not like there's 5 dpi buttons, it's an increase and a decrease button. I only ever use the top two so it's a single switch down or a single switch up.
