A medium-tight weave is the sweet spot for high DPI.

Yes, weave density matters. At very high DPI (3200+), even tiny sensor inconsistencies get magnified into visible jitter. A cloth pad with a tight, uniform weave gives the sensor a consistent texture to track against, reducing those micro-errors.

Too loose a weave (rough, textured pads) creates uneven reflections that confuse the sensor at high magnification — you’ll see more jitter and random cursor hops. Too tight (almost smooth, like some “speed” cloth pads) and the sensor loses enough texture to lock onto, causing tracking drops and spin-outs. The
