DPI is dots per inch, it also relates directly to the mouse READING, along with the movement on screen. So that said, if you use a 1024x786 screen resolution, using a 1000DPI mouse, it would 'technically' take 1 inch to move from one side to the other. But it also relates to how many 'screen shots' the mouse takes per second. So higher DPI = more screen shots per 'movement cycle' which translates into a smoother movement of your mouse, and yields a higher speed. You can also reduce your movement speed (most commonly done in the game you are playing) to adjust the higher speed. So if you go from a 400 DPI mouse with 4 sensitivity, a 1600 DPI mouse and a 1 sensitivity would give you the same speed, but higher precision.

How do you measure mouse speed?

Mouse speed is typically measured in terms of dots per inch (DPI) or counts per inch (CPI). DPI refers to how many pixels your cursor moves on the screen for every inch the mouse physically moves, whereas CPI measures the number of steps or counts the mouse sensor takes to detect movement when the mouse is moved one inch. You can adjust these settings in your computer's mouse settings or using specific software provided by the mouse manufacturer.
