## eDPI Calculator - Gaming Mouse Sensitivity Guide

**eDPI (effective DPI)** = Mouse DPI × in-game sensitivity. It is the single standardized number that describes your true mouse speed, making it comparable across different hardware setups.

## eDPI formula

`eDPI = DPI × in-game sensitivity`

Examples: 800 DPI × 0.5 sens = 400 eDPI | 400 DPI × 2.0 sens = 800 eDPI

## Recommended eDPI ranges by game

| Game | Low (precision) | Average pro | High (speed) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| CS2 | 200-400 | 400-800 | 800-1200 |
| Valorant | 100-200 | 200-400 | 400-600 |
| Apex Legends | 600-900 | 1000-1400 | 1400-2000 |
| Fortnite | 20-40 | 40-60 | 60-80 (Fortnite units) |
| Overwatch 2 | 400-600 | 600-1000 | 1000-1400 |

## Why is eDPI useful?

Two players can have the same eDPI but different DPI and sensitivity settings. eDPI normalizes this so you can compare sensitivity with pro players or friends regardless of their mouse hardware. It also makes sensitivity conversion between games much more accurate.

## eDPI Formula and What It Tells You

eDPI = DPI × in-game sensitivity. It is the single number that describes your true mouse speed, independent of hardware settings. Two players with different DPI settings but identical eDPI have exactly the same physical mouse speed.

| Game | Low eDPI (precision) | Average pro eDPI | High eDPI (fast) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| CS2 | 200-400 | 400-800 | 800-1200 |
| Valorant | 100-200 | 200-400 | 400-600 |
| Apex Legends | 600-900 | 1000-1400 | 1400-2000 |
| Fortnite | 20-40 | 40-60 | 60-80 |
| Overwatch 2 | 400-600 | 600-1000 | 1000-1400 |

## Should You Use 400 DPI or 800 DPI?

Both are equally valid - the same eDPI at 400 DPI (e.g., sens 2.0) and 800 DPI (sens 1.0) produces identical mouse speed. The real-world difference is minimal. Pick the DPI that your mouse supports natively without interpolation. Most gaming mice perform optimally at 400 or 800 DPI.

eDPI (effective DPI) = your mouse DPI × your in-game sensitivity. A player using 800 DPI at sensitivity 1.5 has 1200 eDPI. Most competitive FPS players use 400-1200 eDPI. Lower eDPI = more precise, higher eDPI = faster flicks.

## Questions and answers

### What is eDPI and how do I calculate it?

eDPI (effective DPI) = your mouse DPI × your in-game sensitivity. A player using 800 DPI at sensitivity 1.5 has 1200 eDPI. Most competitive FPS players use 400-1200 eDPI. Lower eDPI = more precise, higher eDPI = faster flicks.

### What eDPI do CS2 pros use?

Most CS2 professional players use 400-1000 eDPI. The average across top 20 CS2 pros is approximately 760 eDPI.

### What eDPI do Valorant pros use?

Valorant pros typically use 200-400 eDPI (Valorant sensitivity is ~3.18x higher than CS2). TenZ uses 238 eDPI.

### Is lower eDPI better for aiming?

Lower eDPI requires more arm movement but gives more precision for small adjustments. Higher eDPI allows faster reactions. Most players find 400-1000 eDPI optimal.
