What is mouse DPI?
DPI stands for Dots Per Inch — it measures how sensitive your mouse is.
- The higher the DPI, the farther your cursor moves on the screen when you move the mouse.
- The lower the DPI, the more precise and slower the movement.
📌 Example:
- 800 DPI = slower, more controlled movement (great for FPS games).
- 3200 DPI = fast, less precise movement (good for large monitors or quick navigation).
Why is DPI important?
- 🎮 Gamers use different DPI settings based on their playstyle — low DPI for accuracy, high DPI for speed.
- 🎨 Designers might prefer a lower DPI for precision.
- 🖥️ Everyday users usually use the default DPI (800–1600)

Frequently Asked Questions
What is eDPI and how is it different from DPI?
eDPI stands for “effective DPI.” It is the result of multiplying your mouse DPI by your in-game sensitivity. While DPI refers to your mouse’s hardware sensitivity, eDPI gives a better idea of your actual in-game sensitivity.
Formula: eDPI = DPI X in-game sensitivity.
How do I calculate my eDPI?
To calculate your eDPI, multiply your mouse DPI by your in-game sensitivity.
For example:
If your DPI is 800 and your in-game sensitivity is 0.7,
eDPI = 800 × 0.7 = 560.
Why is eDPI important in gaming?
eDPI helps you compare sensitivity settings across different players and games. Since DPI and in-game sensitivity vary, eDPI consistently measures how fast your crosshair moves, making it easier to find your ideal settings or match your favorite pro player.
What is a good eDPI for FPS games like Valorant or CS:GO?
There is no perfect eDPI, as it depends on personal preference. However, most professional players in games like Valorant and Counter-Strike use an eDPI between 200 and 400. Lower eDPI values allow for more precise aiming, while higher values enable quicker movement.
