1. What is eDPI?

eDPI (effective Dots Per Inch) is a standardized measurement that combines your mouse DPI and in-game sensitivity to give a universal measure of sensitivity across different games and setups. It's particularly important in competitive gaming like Counter-Strike.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the eDPI formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: By multiplying these two values, we get a standardized sensitivity measurement that can be compared across different setups.

3. Importance of eDPI Calculation

Details: Knowing your eDPI helps maintain consistent mouse sensitivity across different games and hardware setups, which is crucial for developing muscle memory in competitive gaming.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your mouse DPI setting and your in-game sensitivity value. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is a good eDPI for CS:GO?
A: Most professional CS:GO players use eDPI between 600-1200, but the ideal sensitivity is personal preference.

Q2: Why is eDPI important?
A: eDPI allows you to maintain the same muscle memory when switching between games or hardware setups.

Q3: How do I find my mouse DPI?
A: Check your mouse software or manufacturer specifications. Many gaming mice have DPI indicators or software to check and adjust.

Q4: Does Windows sensitivity affect eDPI?
A: For accurate calculations, it's recommended to keep Windows sensitivity at the default (6/11) and disable mouse acceleration.

Q5: Can I use this for other games?
A: Yes, the eDPI formula works for any game that has a sensitivity slider, though the feel might vary slightly between different game engines.
