What exactly is eDPI?

eDPI (Effective DPI) multiplies your mouse's hardware DPI by your in‑game sensitivity to give a single comparable value across titles.

Why use this calculator?

It lets you match your muscle memory whenever you switch games or peripherals. No more wild flicks or sluggish turns.

What is eDPI in Gaming?

Effective DPI (eDPI) is the true measurement of your mouse sensitivity in competitive gaming. Unlike raw DPI, which only measures hardware sensitivity, eDPI combines your mouse DPI with in-game sensitivity to show your actual cursor movement speed.

Professional esports players rely on eDPI for consistent aim across different games, tournaments, and equipment setups. It's the industry standard for competitive gaming calibration.

Pro Tip: Most professional FPS players use eDPI values between 200-400 for maximum precision.

Why eDPI Matters for Competitive Gaming

  • Consistent muscle memory across all games and platforms
  • Professional standardization used by esports teams worldwide
  • Equipment independence - maintain settings with any mouse
  • Performance optimization for different game genres
  • Tournament consistency regardless of setup changes

How to Calculate eDPI

Simple Formula:

eDPI = Mouse DPI × In-Game Sensitivity

Example: 800 DPI × 0.5 sens = 400 eDPI

Professional Steps:

  1. 1. Test your mouse DPI with our DPI Tester
  2. 2. Note your in-game sensitivity setting
  3. 3. Multiply DPI × Sensitivity = eDPI
  4. 4. Use our calculator above for instant results
  5. 5. Compare with professional player settings

Frequently Asked Questions

Is eDPI better than just DPI?

Yes, because DPI alone ignores your in‑game multiplier. eDPI reflects real on‑screen movement.

What windows pointer speed should I pick?

Most pros stick to 6/11 (no acceleration) and enable raw‑input in game.
