1. What is eDPI?

eDPI (effective Dots Per Inch) is a measure that combines your mouse DPI and in-game sensitivity to give you a standardized way to compare sensitivity across different setups. It's commonly used by gamers to maintain consistent aiming sensitivity.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the eDPI formula:

Where:

• Mouse DPI — Your mouse's Dots Per Inch setting
• Sensitivity — Your in-game sensitivity setting

Explanation: The formula multiplies your hardware sensitivity (DPI) with your software sensitivity to give a combined effective sensitivity value.

3. Importance of eDPI

Details: Knowing your eDPI helps maintain consistent muscle memory when switching between different mice or games. Professional gamers often use eDPI to compare and adjust their sensitivity settings.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your mouse DPI (found in your mouse software or specifications) and your in-game sensitivity setting. 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 optimal sensitivity varies by individual preference.

Q2: Does eDPI work across different games?
A: Yes, but only if the games use the same sensitivity scaling. Some games may require conversion.

Q3: Should I use high or low eDPI?
A: Lower eDPI (400-800) generally allows for more precise aiming, while higher eDPI (1000+) enables faster turns.

Q4: How does mouse pad size affect eDPI?
A: Lower eDPI requires more physical movement, so larger mouse pads are recommended for low eDPI settings.

Q5: Can I use this for non-FPS games?
A: Yes, eDPI is useful for any game where mouse sensitivity matters, including MOBAs and RTS games.
