Everybody has a "sweet spot" for their mouse sensitivity. If that sensitivity changes just a little bit, you will likely notice in an instant. To get the sensitivity perfect, you will likely need to change the mouse DPI settings when switching between mice, and when using a new computer.

Display density is measured in dots per inch (DPI). It determines the size of UI elements on a display of a given device. A higher display density means that users can see more interface elements at once. On the other hand, a lower display density means that fewer UI elements will be visible on the display, and the elements will be bigger. Tasker Beta has now added a Display Size option to change the display size dynamically.

My biggest pet peeve of Android is the DPI scaling (size the content is rendered on screen) that Google and other OEM’s choose for their devices. Large, beautiful displays are often marred by an endless array of status bar icons, thumb sized icons and huge UI elements.
