emoGenerally speaking, each mouse's sensor is built with a "native" DPI ,which is the native resolution of the imager in the sensor, so lets just say 400 DPI is the native. In order to achieve 12000 DPI rather than having a big enough imager to account for more pixels, they choose to subdivide a pixel.
Native dpi on any good mouse these days is in steps of 50, hence almost every dpi that you're gonna use is native, except stupidly high ones >6400.
edit - re-read your comment and I think you mean the physically true dpi, which still doesn't really matter as its like zooming in on an image. There's a point where u can't tell what the original image is but it takes a while to get there.
