eDPI Calculator

In-game sensitivity on its own means nothing. 1.00 on a 400 DPI mouse and 1.00 on a 1600 DPI mouse are two completely different players. eDPI is the number that compares, and cm per 360 is the number your arm actually feels.

The standard band. Most Counter-Strike players sit in this range because it balances a flick to a close angle against holding a long one.

800Identical, which is the point

Changing DPI without changing sensitivity changes your aim. This gives you the sensitivity that keeps the exact same cm per 360, so muscle memory survives a new mouse or a new DPI step.

Your numbers

Mouse DPI

In-game sensitivity

Zoom sensitivity, mouse acceleration and raw input do not change eDPI. Windows pointer speed does change how the game feels, so leave it on the sixth notch, which is 1 to 1.

If you know the arm movement you want, this gives you the in-game sensitivity that produces it at your current DPI.

Reference ranges

Range	eDPI	cm per 360
Very low	Under 500	Over 83
Low	500 to 700	59 to 83
Standard	700 to 1000	42 to 59
High	1000 to 1400	30 to 42
Very high	Over 1400	Under 30

These are ranges, not rules. Low sensitivity gives you finer micro adjustment and costs you desk space. High sensitivity gives you faster turns and costs you precision.

The two numbers that matter

eDPI

Your mouse DPI multiplied by your in-game sensitivity. It is the only fair way to compare your sensitivity to someone else’s, because it cancels out the mouse.

cm per 360

How far you physically move the mouse to turn all the way around. This is what your arm learns, and it is the number worth keeping constant when you change hardware.

Changing your DPI without losing your aim

If you move from 400 DPI to 800 DPI and leave your sensitivity alone, you have just doubled your sensitivity. To keep the same aim, halve the in-game value. The converter above does this for any pair of DPI values. Your eDPI stays identical, which is the whole point.
