Yes. Download "X Mouse Button Control". You can program the buttons and change the speed. I haven't been able to reprogram the DPI button.. anyone have any luck with that one?

First of all, I am sorry but I do not know the answer to your question. However, I did want to say mice DO have dpi. This link explains how it works. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_mouse_DPI?#slide=1

You are confusing dpi with resolution. DPI is dots per inch and refers to how an image is printed. When you set this camera to the "L" setting (large) the resulting image resolution is 5,184 pixels x 3,456 pixels. How you print it is up to you. If you need 300dpi prints, then this camera captures enough pixels to print that out at about 17" x 12". If you printed the same exact image at 72 dpi, the resulting print would be 6 feet x 4 feet. If you are having trouble with getting a good print with this camera, then the software you are using is processing the image by throwing away information.

You need software driver which assigns usage. However I can't find software driver on gearhead website. the little button on top that lights switches dpi

It has a couple extra buttons which is good for gaming but just like any new device it might take a little getting used to before you'd want to start gaming with it. Not sure about the DPI though.

Nope, changing from the "wing" to the "flat" side panel has no effect on the button, the panel lays over the button, also it's default configuration is for DPI throttling. Hope this helps!

The lightning bolt thumb button is a joystick. Try clicking it in different directions until you see the 1-2-3-4 lights changing. 1 is the slowest DPI and 4 is the fastest. Their is also software you can install to customize more.

For some reason I got an email of this question, I bought the 4000 dpi version and you can't set it like you asked. I did read the 4000 has less options in the software that comes with it compared to the more expensive higher dpi versions. Probably doesn't help but the best I can do.

There's 5 quick-change settings via a button on the mouse that changes the DPI on the fly, but you can also enter the mouse software itself and customize each of those settings to a specific DPI if the default doesn't suit your needs. Hope that answers your question!

The Way you change the DPI is actually with the grey/silver joystick next to the thumb. You press if forward to increase your DPI and press it the opposite way to decrease your DPI, hope this helped!

The DPI key is just for changing the DPI. There is no software that comes with the mouse to control the DPI independently of the mouse button. You would want to be able to change DPI anyway so you can snipe better and then switch to close quarters without going out of the game to switch dpi sensitivity.

Answers.com explains that the higher the DPI number is, the faster the pointer should move. I'm still not sure because I can't tell what the actual setting the mouse is using is when I push the button.

I believe that it isn't showing the buttons that you use to change the mouses dpi, or distance per inch, which normally doesn't get changed but can be if you don't really need them and it also isn't showing the button on the right side which is to change the color of the light on the mouse but can also be changed to do some other function if you only want it to have one color.

There are a total of 7 programmable buttons: two on the left (where the thumb rests), two on the right (next to pinky), left click, right click, and the scroll wheel itself. There is a eigth button but this is used to switch between your pre-programmed DPI settings and not for use as a interface button.Steel Series Engine: http://steelseries.com/us/support/downloads

It is supposed to control how fast the pointer moves. The larger the dpi number, the slower it is supposed to move. It had some effect on my laptop. I don't notice that it does anything on my desktop PC.
