Low DPI vs high DPI mousepad size: Arm aimers need big pads, wrist aimers don't

Low DPI arm aimers (800 DPI or less) need at least an 18×16 inch pad to avoid running out of space mid-flick, while high DPI wrist aimers (3200+) are fine with a standard 12×10 or 14×12 pad. If you switch between styles, go bigger to be safe, but pure wrist aimers shouldn’t waste desk space on a giant pad.
