What sort of a mouse do I need to play DIN Is Noise?

Any mouse with a sensitivity of 400 DPI. Most older mice are fine. Newer gaming mice can be too fast for playing DIN as a mouse / bow instrument - they operate at 800 DPI or more. But many of these mice support on-the-fly DPI switching down to 400 DPI.

However, the sensitivity of your mouse does not matter if you plan to use DIN to work with just drones & Bezier curves.
