    What is considered the best mouse when gaming on a large 4K screen?

    I was about to order another G602 (love the long battery life) but heard higher DPI might be needed for large high resolution screens.

    Thanks

    It will be fine, the maximum DPI on these modern gaming mouses are far more than enough to the point where it's just a gimmick.

    The DPI will be fine.

    The Logitech G602 goes up to 2500dpi, which should be fine.

    However, if you are looking for an alternative, then your best bet is the Logitech G900. However, be aware that it is significantly lower in battery life (36 hours per charge, vs 3 months per charge), and dramatically increases your carry (no place to put USB wireless receiver, and must carry microUSB cable)

    G602 is certainly my preferred option
