EDPI Calculator
Calculate effective DPI from mouse DPI and in-game sensitivity, or find sensitivity needed to match a target eDPI.
What Is eDPI?
Effective DPI (eDPI) combines mouse DPI and in-game sensitivity into one number. It lets players compare real sensitivity across different hardware and game settings.
eDPI Formula
$$\text{eDPI} = \text{DPI} \times \text{sensitivity}$$ $$\text{sensitivity} = \frac{\text{eDPI}}{\text{DPI}}$$For Fortnite percent sensitivity, convert to decimal first: $0.05$ for 5%. Match gaming odds with the Among Us Impostor Odds Calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good eDPI for CS:GO?
Most professional CS:GO players use eDPI between 600 and 1200, with an average near 900. Lower eDPI improves precision for long-range aim.
What eDPI do Valorant pros use?
Valorant pros average around 280 eDPI because the game uses a lower sensitivity scale than CS:GO.
How do I match my friend's sensitivity?
Calculate your friend's eDPI from their DPI and sensitivity, then divide that eDPI by your DPI to find the sensitivity you need in-game.
Does eDPI work across different games?
No. Each game uses different sensitivity scaling. eDPI is best for comparing settings within the same game, not across different titles.
What DPI should I use?
Most competitive players use 400 to 800 DPI and adjust in-game sensitivity. Very high DPI can cause sensor smoothing on some mice.
