eDPI stands for Effective Dots Per Inch. It is calculated by multiplying your mouse hardware DPI by your in-game sensitivity setting.

Why is eDPI better than comparing raw sensitivity?

Two players with sensitivity 1.0 will have completely different aiming speeds if one uses 400 DPI and the other uses 1600 DPI. eDPI gives an exact apples-to-apples comparison.

What is a good eDPI for competitive shooters?

For tactical shooters like CS2 and Valorant, typical pro eDPI ranges between 200–400 (Valorant) and 600–1200 (CS2). Fast tracking games like Apex and Overwatch usually favor higher eDPI.

Understanding eDPI Calculator

Calculate effective DPI (eDPI) and physical distance per 360 rotation (cm/360, in/360) across major esports titles. Designed for competitive gamers, PC builders, and creators who need fast, accurate results without paywalls or sign-ups.

Mathematical Formula & Methodology

\text{eDPI} = \text{Mouse DPI} \times \text{In-Game Sensitivity}

Formula Variables Explained:
Effective DPI (eDPI) normalizes mouse hardware sensitivity (DPI) with in-game sensitivity multipliers to compare true cursor/crosshair speed.

Step-by-Step Worked Example

800 DPI × 0.35 In-Game Sensitivity = 280 eDPI (approx. 46.6 cm/360 in Valorant).
