eDPI Calculator

Calculate effective DPI for gaming mouse sensitivity comparison

Calculate eDPI

Mouse dots per inch (typically 400-3200)

Decimal sensitivity (0.1-5.0)

In-Game Sensitivity

Formula: eDPI = DPI × Sensitivity

Calculation: 800 × 1.0000 = 800

Game Recommendations

CS:GO
Optimal

Pro range: 600-1200 eDPI

Most pros use 600-1200 eDPI for precise aiming

Valorant
High

Pro range: 200-400 eDPI

Lower eDPI preferred for tactical precision

Fortnite
High

Pro range: 32-82 eDPI

Very low eDPI for building and aiming precision

Apex Legends
Optimal

Pro range: 400-800 eDPI

Moderate eDPI for fast-paced gameplay

Example Calculations

CS:GO Pro Example

DPI: 800

Sensitivity: 1.1 (decimal)

Calculation: 800 × 1.1 = 880 eDPI

Result: Within optimal CS:GO range (600-1200)

Valorant Pro Example

DPI: 400

Sensitivity: 0.7 (decimal)

Calculation: 400 × 0.7 = 280 eDPI

Result: Perfect for Valorant tactical gameplay

Fortnite Pro Example

DPI: 800

Sensitivity: 7% (percentage)

Calculation: 800 × 0.07 = 56 eDPI

Result: Optimal for building and aiming precision

Understanding eDPI

What is eDPI?

eDPI (effective DPI) is a standardized measure that combines your mouse DPI setting with your in-game sensitivity. It allows gamers to compare their "true" mouse sensitivity regardless of hardware or game settings.

Why Use eDPI?

  • Compare settings with friends and pros
  • Maintain consistency across games
  • Find optimal sensitivity ranges
  • Transfer settings to new hardware

Formula & Calculation

eDPI = DPI × Sensitivity

For percentage sensitivity: divide by 100 first

Example Calculation

DPI: 800

Sensitivity: 1.5 (decimal)

Calculation: 800 × 1.5 = 1200

Result: 1200 eDPI

Game-Specific Considerations

Tactical FPS
Low eDPI (200-400)
Precision over speed
Arena FPS
Medium eDPI (600-1200)
Balance of speed and precision
Battle Royale
Very Low eDPI (30-80)
Building and long-range shots
