                What is eDPI?

                Effective DPI Explained

                eDPI (effective Dots Per Inch) is a standardized way to measure mouse sensitivity across different games.

                It's calculated by multiplying your mouse DPI by your in-game sensitivity setting: eDPI = DPI × Sensitivity

                Understanding your eDPI helps:

                • Compare settings with pro players
                • Maintain consistent aim across different games
                • Find the perfect sensitivity for your playstyle

                Frequently Asked Questions

                Common questions about using our eDPI Calculator for gaming

                What is eDPI and why should I use an eDPI Calculator?

                eDPI (effective Dots Per Inch) is a universal measurement that combines your mouse DPI and in-game sensitivity settings. Using an eDPI Calculator helps you standardize your sensitivity across different games and compare your settings with other players, including professionals.

                How accurate is your eDPI Calculator?

                Our eDPI Calculator provides precise calculations based on the mathematical formula: eDPI = DPI × In-game Sensitivity. The accuracy depends on the correct input of your mouse DPI and game sensitivity values.

                What is the ideal eDPI range according to your eDPI Calculator?

                While there's no one-size-fits-all answer, our eDPI Calculator shows that most professional FPS players use eDPI values between 800-1200. Tactical shooters like CS2 and Valorant typically use lower eDPI (800-1000), while faster-paced games may use higher values (1000-1600).

                Can the eDPI Calculator help me convert sensitivity between games?

                Yes! Our eDPI Calculator includes a sensitivity converter feature that translates your sensitivity settings between popular games like Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, Apex Legends, and more, helping you maintain consistent aim across different titles.

                Does the eDPI Calculator account for different mouse acceleration settings?

                The eDPI Calculator calculates based on raw input values without acceleration. For competitive gaming, we recommend disabling mouse acceleration in both your operating system and game settings for the most consistent aiming experience.

                What is eDPI?

                Effective DPI (eDPI) is a universal measurement of mouse sensitivity in games. It's calculated by multiplying your mouse DPI by your in-game sensitivity:

                eDPI = Mouse DPI × In-game Sensitivity

                This value lets you compare sensitivity settings across different games and devices.

                How to Find Your Mouse DPI?

                You can find your mouse DPI in several ways:

                • Check your mouse's product manual or packaging
                • Look in your mouse driver or software settings
                • Check for DPI buttons or switches on the bottom of your mouse
                • Find your model's specifications on the manufacturer's website

                Common DPI values are 400, 800, 1200, 1600, and 3200.

                Where is In-game Sensitivity?

                In-game sensitivity can be found in the settings or options menu of most games:

                • CS2: Settings > Keyboard/Mouse > Mouse Sensitivity
                • Valorant: Settings > Controls > Mouse > Sensitivity
                • Apex Legends: Settings > Mouse/Keyboard > Mouse Sensitivity
                • Fortnite: Settings > Keyboard Controls > Mouse Sensitivity
                • Overwatch 2: Options > Controls > Mouse > Sensitivity

                What Sensitivity is Best?

                The best sensitivity depends on several factors:

                • Game type: Tactical shooters (like CS2, Valorant) typically use lower sensitivity
                • Personal preference: Some players prefer low sensitivity for precision aiming, others prefer high sensitivity for fast reactions
                • Mousepad space: Limited desk space may require higher sensitivity
                • Game character/weapon: Different characters or weapons may require sensitivity adjustments

                Most professional FPS players use eDPI values in the 800-1000 range.
