I buy a new mouse since the old one has 2 years and stoped work well.
I decided to buy a good one. It have 24.000 dpi sensor and 1.000 polling rate.
I'm not sure the new dpi i should chose like i find It fine playing with:
6/11 800dpi
6/11 1000dpi
6/11 1200dpi
6/11 1400dpi
6/11 1600dpi
6/11 1800dpi
2/22 (using software) 12.000dpi
Etc, etc, etc...

I'm using 720p in game res.

The differences are not really big on my performance. Having from 1 to 5 miesses at 7* jump maps. So i can't decide the settings to start building muscle memory and how my performance it's going to improve after a month.

Need some help. Do you have any idea how should i test this stuff. Or any advices to know what should i chose?

You can look at some of the top mouse players for a rough idea of what DPI and sensitivity works well for osu: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EOWc7kf9TdyvT31VfzlY284udUNOrtz0uyRtQ2t4MHY/edit#gid=0
As you can see mostly they are on a moderate DPI * sensitivity, although there are some players with very low ones too.
You need to work out a comfortable setting for yourself, as long as it's not too out there I don't think it matters too incredibly much, it's all a trade-off between speed (high sens) and precision (low sens).
It sort of depends on mouse weight as well, if your mouse is really heavy you don't want to make the sensitivity too low as it already takes more momentum to get it going (slower to move), or if it is really light you can lower the sensitivity since it takes less force to move it.
Just out of curiosity, what mouse did you buy?

It is a marketing lie that higher dpi settings improve your accuracy or that their availability is a quality indicator. That is all about selling big numbers to stupid customers. From my knowledge there are no mice that track decently above 4k at all and pretty much every mouse has its sweetspot somewhere between 400 and 1600. So get that idea of using 12000 dpi with a multiplier out of your head right away.
The rest is covered by Wishes pretty much and depends a lot on your grip and available space for movement.

Meh, you probably should've made a little research about sensors before buying "high dpi good sensor".

EDIT: ok

I'm testing and find some weird things. Like dpi actually mess with my way of read.
The mouse is a custom made by a close friend. Internal big weights (because my hands are big) 1k 2k 3k 4k and 12k chipset. Lot of gold components. 50G track.
It's similar to this https://youtu.be/tMWHPDy0p98 Have a custom sensor what is an adapt from the pmw3360.

Wow custom made. Sounds pretty dope. Glad it is working well for you :)
