This is more for anyone reading the comments. For optimal mouse performance (it can't realistically get better)

1k + 3200dpi or higher usually saturates it. Using low dpi is always a mistake no exceptions, just use a lower sensitivity. If you are worried about relearning your sens, you can use a sensitivity calculator to convert your current settings to your new ones. The responsiveness will be as good as your mouse is capable of and the rest is up to your skill issue.

I still use 1k even for competitive games
