What is eDPI and why does it matter?

eDPI (effective DPI) is sensitivity × DPI. It is a single number that describes your actual in-game rotation speed regardless of which slider you tweaked. Comparing eDPI between players is more useful than comparing raw sensitivity, because two players with different DPI and different sens can share the same feel.

How do you calculate eDPI?

eDPI = in-game sensitivity × mouse DPI. For example, 1.6 sensitivity at 800 DPI is an eDPI of 1280. It is the single number that captures your true aim speed, because two players on different DPI/sens combos that multiply to the same eDPI turn at the same rate.

It depends on the game, because each game scales sensitivity differently. In CS2 most pros sit around 600–1000 eDPI; in Valorant around 150–400; in Apex around 800–1100. Compare eDPI only within the same game — across games, compare cm/360° instead.

Can I compare eDPI between different games?

Not directly. eDPI is only comparable within one game, since each game uses a different yaw constant — an eDPI of 800 feels different in CS2 versus Valorant. To compare aim speed across games, use cm/360°, which is the true game-independent measure.

In-game sensitivity

Mouse DPI

In short: eDPI = in-game sensitivity × mouse DPI. It is the number that captures your true aim speed, so pros compare eDPI instead of raw sensitivity — two players on different DPI/sens combos with the same eDPI turn at the same rate.

What is eDPI and how do I calculate it?

eDPI (effective dots per inch) is simply your in-game sensitivity multiplied by your mouse DPI. A sens of 1.6 at 800 DPI is 1280 eDPI. It exists because the in-game sensitivity number alone is meaningless — 2.0 at 400 DPI and 1.0 at 800 DPI feel identical, and eDPI (800 in both cases) makes that obvious. Read the full breakdown in what is eDPI.

What is a good eDPI?

It is game-specific, because each game scales sensitivity differently. CS2 pros mostly sit 600–1000 eDPI, Valorant 150–400, Apex 800–1100. Lower eDPI means slower, more precise aim; higher means faster. Pick a value inside the pro band for your game and adjust by feel — see the live per-game medians in pro settings statistics.

Can I compare eDPI across games?

No — eDPI only compares within one game, since each uses a different yaw constant. To match aim speed across games, use cm/360° or the sensitivity converter, which keep your physical turn distance identical.
