er. I don't really consider myself a top level player but I use 2500dpi and default settings for windows and osu options.

Resolution I use for osu is 1440x900

I can't play very well when I have to move my arm to reach some notes so I use high dpi.

Logitech M100 Mouse, 1000Mhz usb mouse driver mod, 1.0/Percision in osu!, default mouse accel in Win7/no enhance movement, $2 mouse pad from some store. I'm in no way a "top player" though :p But I think my mouse accuracy is just fine on osu! (I never used an actual gaming mouse or anything above a $15 mouse, only optical).
Mhz, are you serious?

i use a 1000dpi Dual-Optical Mouse with 500hz OC polling rate (1000hz is too high and a waste of CPU resources), i also use a 1:1 mouse tweak, 1.6x in Osu! and table for the mousepad:p. i use W and E instead Z and X, coz my hand is used at playing FPS games. I can play insane beatmaps (well, not insanely insane beatmaps like Banned Forever) somewhat well.

SPOILER
You don't need gaming mouse for *just* playing osu!, just keep playing and playing until you get used to Insane beatmaps. You know, at first, you're weak, but eventually, you'll get stronger, faster, and better

I'm no top player but most insane maps are possible to FC with 800 DPI. Also MX518 is a great mouse.

Meh I use 2500dpi and osu at 1.0x. Not shire what my windows is set to but as for MHz I use 1000 cuz I play shooter and such and never bothered to change my profile for osu. I use a razed naga. And on topic of what I can play, I can play insane but streams are still a pain also I just use mouse buttons for clicking, could never get the hang of using mouse + keyboard

I can do jumps decently on insane maps. I'm using a Logitech M100. 1000 dpi mouse. Windows pointer speed at 11/11 with precision on. osu! sensitivity at 1.3x with precision off.

tbh it's pretty silly to think that copying a pro is the only way to be a pro. skills > everything

Every pro has pretty much proved his play style worked well in the end. This doesn't mean it's not about preference, but as osu! has become a few years old, you can be sure that a lot of stuff have already been tried.

Interesting settings you've got there :?

Wow somewhat similar.. :)

Razer DeathAdder with 900 dpi, windows 11/11 with precision on, osu! is at 1.0x with precision off.

Razer Naga 5600 DPI, 3 to 3.5 OSU sensetivity with Mouse Precision on, Max windows mouse settings. (Takes quite a bit to get used to for jumps and the like, but spinning is incredibly fast and so is clicking)

We are discussing dpi used by top level players. Don't randomly post settings, please.

I just wanted to give a big thank you to everyone that posted in this thread, as its been my guide for the passed few months in improving, I have practiced everyday and tried many different mouse settings, I started out at 4x sensitivity with precision on and 2400dpi and worked my way all the way down. I also didn't use the keyboard for hits.

My current settings are precision off in osu and windows, 6/11 sensitivity in windows, 1x in osu, and 800 mouse dpi
When I made this post I could barely play in normal mode, and now I can full combo hard songs and play insane songs.
I feel like this is where the real skill begins, and I don't have to worry about my equipment and keyboard holding me back.

I also think that if I had to give advice to anyone that's just starting out is make sure u have 6/11 sensitivity in windows, that is something I would have never figured out on my own, and also that precision mode has to be turned off if your going for a low dpi style

But thanks again everyone!

Mouse acceleration is bad. It makes your cursor tripping balls on quick movements. So yes, turning it off is good.

Amazing...some people's mouse dpi is painfully slow (400 dpi) while some are ridiculously fast (4320 dpi,seriously?).400 dpi for me is seriously too slow and 3500 dpi is good for me when spinning ONLY.I'm not a pro so I won't post my mouse's dpi.

I feel I really don't care about dpi used by top players. :|

What's actually interesting to me, is the actual sensitivity that players use. For instance, how much do they have to move their mouse to reach each corner of the playfield?

^same here, except if you're going to compensate with a higher resolution.

I don't really get why so many people are DPI whores. Really any top mouse player could just full combo most maps with a cheap 5$ mouse if he gets his sensitivity to the same level as before and some practise. Even some counterstrike progamers (where accuracy is even more important) Just use a mouse with under 600 dpi and it works perfectly fine. Equipment will never change how good you really are at the game.

As a mouse only player, I normally use a $5 mouse at home (yes really $5)
But after trying the game with a gaming mouse at my friend's house I must say what mattered wasn't the dpi, it was the er.. *clickability*
I no longer had to compress my mouse buttons with ten thousand tonnes of pressure to register a click and that really made a difference

It depends. I've always played with it on and when I turned it off, I started doing way worse
