1. What is eDPI?

eDPI (effective dots per inch) is a measure of mouse sensitivity that combines DPI and in-game sensitivity settings. It allows for accurate comparison of sensitivity across different setups.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the eDPI formula:

Where:

• \( DPI \) — Mouse DPI setting (dots per inch)
• \( Sensitivity \) — In-game sensitivity setting

Explanation: eDPI standardizes sensitivity measurement by accounting for both hardware (DPI) and software (in-game sensitivity) settings.

3. Importance of eDPI Calculation

Details: Knowing your eDPI helps maintain consistent sensitivity across different games or when changing mouse DPI settings. It's crucial for muscle memory development in competitive gaming.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your mouse DPI (found in mouse software) and in-game sensitivity. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a good eDPI for FPS games?
A: Most professional FPS players use eDPI between 200-800, but personal preference is most important.

Q2: Does higher eDPI mean faster mouse movement?
A: Yes, higher eDPI means your cursor/crosshair moves further with less physical mouse movement.

Q3: Should I change my DPI or sensitivity?
A: It's generally recommended to set your mouse to its native DPI and adjust sensitivity in-game.

Q4: How does eDPI relate to cm/360?
A: cm/360 (distance to do a 360° turn) can be calculated from eDPI, but requires knowing the game's sensitivity scale.

Q5: Does Windows sensitivity affect eDPI?
A: Windows sensitivity should always be set to 6/11 (no acceleration) for consistent results.
