I’m running a G502 mouse, 6400dpi and in game 1.3 mouse sensitivity…. I’ve just been informed that a normal human normally runs 400dpi

There are a lot of reasons, and opinions, on how your aim would improve going lower. I agree, you would probably benefit a ton from it, it will feel SUPER AKWARD at first. There are two ways, lower it slowly or all at once. Considering you are like in space in terms of high edpi, I would just slam yourself down to low.

Remember your EDPI is your DPI X In game sensitivity. So you can keep higher DPI, and lower in game sense or vice versa. For example I play at 1600 DPI and .145 in game sens.

THAT BEING SAID, I have a bigger concern for your wrists. Lower DPI is much easier on your wrists, as it forces you to use your arm and shoulder more. As someone who is slowly turning into a boomer, I have dealt with wrist problems my whole gaming career. After my run in eSports I had to baby my wrists. I've noticed huge improvements in my wrist pain and I wish I would have played lower sens the whole time when I started playing games. Don't be like me, set your self up to years of painless gaming and not having to worry about this.

Now if you still want to play high DPI, it doesn't mean you will get wrist pain. Just make sure to stretch etc. and you'll be fine. But it's worth calling out!
