This mouse lacks a DPI button, but it's still great for lightweight use.

I likely forgot the bus when this changed, as I had been advised many years ago from various PC gaming magazines and forums that a DPI button was necessary for FPS games to switch between different sensitivity settings. Now, according to reviewers like rocketjumpninja and dave2D, the G Pro X Superlight is considered one of the best FPS gaming mice. Is the DPI button still important, or are there other ways to handle high DPI sniping?
Well, the superlight is fine, it really is. It's the simplest mouse design a mouse can offer.
Not everyone is interested in DPI adjustments.
Not all FPS games are the same, and not every player who plays one alters their DPI on the spot.
In most cases, sensitivity shifts when you adjust your aim, and if it doesn't, your hand tends to move less naturally.

Additionally, this feature might not be suitable for everyone. As you noted, the primary purpose is usually to adjust DPI temporarily while using a sniper rifle and in ADS. How frequently do you actually use a sniper rifle? Also, many games today allow you to modify sensitivity separately from regular mouse behavior.
I'm frequently adjusting the DPI in BFV. I'll try the superlight version. If that fails, I'll switch to another option. I'm checking out ADS, but I'm not familiar with it.
