eDPI Calculator — Find Your Effective DPI

eDPI (effective DPI) is your mouse hardware DPI multiplied by your in-game sensitivity value. It is the standard way to compare sensitivity settings across players who use different mice or sensitivity scales, since DPI alone tells you nothing about how fast the cursor moves in-game.

Most professional FPS players use between 200 and 800 eDPI. The most common range is 400–600. Lower eDPI (200–400) favours long-range precision, while higher eDPI (600–800) suits close-range flick shots. Click any pro preset in the sidebar to load their settings.

400 DPI and 800 DPI are equivalent if your in-game sensitivity compensates (e.g. 2.0 sens at 400 DPI = 1.0 sens at 800 DPI). Most pros use 400 or 800 DPI hardware with in-game sensitivity between 0.5 and 2.0 to avoid interpolation artefacts from very high DPI settings.

Use the Sensitivity Converter above. Each game uses a different sensitivity multiplier. The converter normalises via cm/360° so your physical mouse movement distance stays identical across both games.

No. Polling rate (Hz) affects how often your mouse reports its position to your PC, influencing smoothness and micro-responsiveness. eDPI relates only to cursor movement speed. Use 1000 Hz or higher polling rate for best competitive results.
