I'm definitely not anywhere near the best, but I play at 3600dpi on the Deathadder (1.0x in osu!). I've read stuff about lower dpi giving you more muscle control but I've had a miserable time whenever I've tried to go lower.
Is it worth it to just grind out new muscle memory at a lower dpi? I know that people play at what's comfortable for them, and you don't necessarily just copy the pros to magically be good, but I think there's a legitimate argument here for increased accuracy where I would otherwise hit a wall in the future.
Lower your DPI as you find it necessary. When it feels like it's too much effort, it's probably counter-productive. You still need to get better at the game at the same time and that requires a reasonably comfortable setting, otherwise you will just grind it out until your hand can move properly at that DPI and only then you will start learning, which is the wrong way to go about it. As your hand/eye coordination gets faster, among other things, the inclination to lower it should come naturally as you
strive to improve.
People promote 400 DPI like it's the be-all and end-all, because that's the MS mice default setting and lowest DPI step of the Logitech MX500 to G400s series of mice, which a lot of god players have used, but that doesn't mean you have to play on it. You could easily say 300 is better, but then it becomes subjective. It's a matter of what you can play better on, and what you can't. The only way to find out is to actively try and improve your aim, and you will see where the problems lie, instead of blindly changing your DPI.
