eDPI stands for 'Effective DPI'. It is calculated by multiplying your mouse DPI by your in-game sensitivity. It provides a standard metric to compare true sensitivity regardless of hardware DPI.

How do I find my perfect sensitivity?

Start with an average eDPI for your game (e.g., 800 eDPI for CS:GO or 280 for Valorant). Adjust slightly up or down until you can track targets smoothly without over-flicking or feeling sluggish.

Does monitor resolution affect mouse sensitivity?

In 3D games (FPS engines), resolution does not affect turn rate. However, on your 2D desktop, a higher resolution means more pixels to cross, making the cursor feel slower at the same DPI.

Understanding eDPI and Conversions

What is eDPI?

eDPI (Effective Dots Per Inch) is simply your mouse DPI multiplied by your in-game sensitivity. If Player A uses 400 DPI and 2.0 sensitivity, their eDPI is 800. If Player B uses 800 DPI and 1.0 sensitivity, their eDPI is also 800. They have the exact same true sensitivity in-game.

Why Convert Sensitivities?

Different game engines (Source, Unreal Engine, Riot's custom engine) handle sensitivity numbers differently. A '1.0' in CS:GO is vastly different from a '1.0' in Valorant. Converting ensures your physical muscle memory is retained across all games.
