Frequently Asked Questions
What is eDPI?
eDPI (effective DPI) is calculated by multiplying your mouse DPI by your in-game sensitivity. It provides a standardized way to compare sensitivity settings across different DPI configurations.
What is a good eDPI for FPS games?
Most pro players use eDPI between 200-800. Lower eDPI (200-400) is common in tactical shooters like CS2 and Valorant, while higher eDPI (400-800) is more common in fast-paced games like Apex Legends.
Should I use high DPI with low sensitivity or vice versa?
Both can achieve the same eDPI. Higher DPI with lower sensitivity may provide smoother cursor movement due to more data points, but the difference is minimal for most players.
Why do pro players use low eDPI?
Lower eDPI allows for more precise micro-adjustments when aiming. It requires more physical mouse movement but provides better accuracy for small corrections.
Is eDPI the same across all games?
No, eDPI is game-specific because each game has different internal sensitivity multipliers. Use a sensitivity converter to match your aim feel across different games.
