However see this as you will, cause some will argue the more calculations the mouse needs to make, the more room for lag.... Personally I play with medium DPI (2000) and low in-game sensitivity (1.3 in CS source.)
Well I was going to type something along these lines so I'm just going to say that if you turn up the DPI it will feel like you've upped the sensitivity while DPI is actually the resolution of the mouse. So I would tend to agree with Cptn_Vortex, and keep the sensitivity down, with medium to high dpi... depending on the resolution of your monitor.
