Hi everyone. I had a full HD display with 1200 DPI on my mouse, then upgraded to a 2K resolution screen. I'm curious about how the mouse DPI will change when switching to that higher resolution. I tried checking the settings while using it, but it's hard to see the exact adjustment. Could someone help me understand the relationship between these settings? Thanks!

1200 DPI equals 1200 pixels each inch. When you shift your mouse horizontally one inch, it translates to 1200 pixels on the screen. On a 2K monitor, that’s 2560 pixels wide and 1440 pixels tall. In contrast, a standard HD display is 1920 pixels wide and 1080 pixels tall.
