Good evening,

The thing is, I'd like to switch the mouse DPI value depending of the app I'm in. I tried with the Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center but I could not manage to do it. What I can do is assign a mouse button to switch between different DPI's but that way you lose a button functionality since it's only gonna switch dpis and you can not use it for other things.

That being said, I wonder if there's any way I can switch DPI automatically depending on the app I'm in or at least control the mouse DPI's with a powershell or other type script or something I can use for a quick switch.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

    Hi @Jimmy Smith

    I suppose there is some mouse that comes with automatic DPI selection settings for games. It is done by settings that don't store the profiles on the mouse. It can only be done from the Mouse end and nothing can be done at the Windows end I suppose.
