Mouse speed

When comparing mice, what specification pertains to the speed capabilities
of an optical mouse cursor, is it dpi?
(I want faster)
Thanks.

Start , control panel , mouse , pointer options , speed .

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I'm talking about shopping for a new
mouse. my current one will not go fast enough for me, though I have it set
to max speed in the area you mentioned (and I have latest drivers). Thanks.

It's the DPI. Greater DPI means greater precision and faster motion on the
screen as the same distance on the mousepad will produce greater distance
on the screen. Logitech has several mice with variable DPI. The newest,
the G9 goes up to 3200DPI and 65 inches per second, but is a bit pricey.
It will also keep up with up to 20G of acceleration, although that would
require quite a wrist snap. The G5 goes to 2400DPI.

Great. Thanks for the info.
