eDPI Calculator

How to calculate eDPI Calculator?

eDPI (effective Dots Per Inch) is a single value that reflects your mouse pointer speed by combining your hardware DPI and in-game sensitivity.

Use the formula: eDPI = DPI × Sensitivity

Using the eDPI Calculator calculator: an example

Example values used below: DPI = 800 and Sensitivity = 1.25.

Step-by-step calculation:

• Record your mouse DPI (for example, 800).
• Record your in-game sensitivity (for example, 1.25).
• Multiply DPI by sensitivity: 800 × 1.25 = 1000.
• The result is your eDPI: 1000.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is eDPI?

eDPI is the product of your mouse DPI and in-game sensitivity. It standardizes sensitivity across different hardware and settings.

Is a higher eDPI better?

Not necessarily. Optimal eDPI depends on personal preference and playstyle. Use it to match feel across devices rather than as a quality metric.

How do I match sensitivity between two setups?

Set DPI and in-game sensitivity so their product equals the target eDPI. For example, 800 DPI × 1.25 sensitivity and 400 DPI × 2.5 sensitivity both yield eDPI 1000.
