What is eDPI in CS2?
eDPI (Effective DPI) = Mouse DPI × In-Game Sensitivity. It is the standard metric used by competitive players to compare sensitivity regardless of hardware differences.
Formula: eDPI = Mouse DPI × Sensitivity
Example: 400 DPI × 2.0 sensitivity = 800 eDPI — the most common setting among CS2 professionals worldwide.
CS2 Pro Player Settings (2026)
| Pro Player | Team | DPI | Sensitivity | eDPI | cm/360 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZywOo | Vitality | 400 | 2.0 | 800 | 51.9 cm |
| NiKo | G2 | 400 | 1.53 | 612 | 67.9 cm |
| s1mple | NAVI | 400 | 3.09 | 1236 | 33.6 cm |
| device | Astralis | 400 | 1.82 | 728 | 57.2 cm |
| m0NESY | G2 | 800 | 0.9 | 720 | 57.8 cm |
| sh1ro | Cloud9 | 400 | 1.9 | 760 | 54.7 cm |
| apEX | Vitality | 400 | 2.5 | 1000 | 41.6 cm |
The CS2 pro average eDPI is approximately 800, with most professionals using 400 DPI between sensitivity 1.5–2.5.
Best eDPI Range for CS2
| eDPI Range | Level | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| 200–500 | Very Low | AWPers, maximum precision, large mousepad required |
| 500–800 | Low (Pro Zone) | Riflers, precise angle holding, most common among pros |
| 800–1200 | Mid (Pro Zone) | All-round play, balance of speed and precision |
| 1200–1800 | High | Entry fraggers, fast peeks, aggressive play |
| 1800+ | Very High | Not recommended for competitive CS2 |
Why CS2 Pros Use Low eDPI
CS2 rewards precision over speed. The game’s mechanics favour players who can hold tight angles, land precise headshots and control recoil consistently. This is why the average CS2 pro uses significantly lower eDPI than Apex Legends or Warzone players:
- Recoil control — spraying requires slow, precise mouse movements
- Angle holding — pre-aiming tight corners needs micro-adjustments
- One-tap accuracy — headshots require pixel-level precision
- Low TTK — one bullet to the head ends the fight, so accuracy beats speed
How to Find Your CS2 Sensitivity
- Launch CS2 → open Settings → Mouse
- Note your Sensitivity value (most pros use 1.0–3.0)
- Check your DPI in your mouse software (Logitech G Hub, Razer Synapse, SteelSeries GG)
- Enter both values into the calculator above
Important: Make sure Raw Input is enabled in CS2 settings. This bypasses Windows pointer speed and gives you 1:1 mouse tracking. Also disable Enhance Pointer Precision in Windows mouse settings.
CS2 eDPI vs Other FPS Games
| Game | Pro Avg eDPI | Pro Avg cm/360 | Why Different |
|---|---|---|---|
| CS2 | 800 | 45–65 cm | Precision-based, tight angles, recoil control |
| Valorant | 280 | 35–50 cm | Even lower — one-shot headshots, tactical pace |
| Apex Legends | 1400 | 20–35 cm | Fast movement, 360° threats, tracking |
| Warzone | 1600 | 20–30 cm | Run-and-gun, wide FOV, fast pace |
| Overwatch 2 | 3200 | 10–20 cm | Hero abilities, fast tracking, vertical movement |
CS2 to Valorant Sensitivity Conversion
Valorant uses a different yaw value (0.07) compared to CS2 (0.022). You cannot copy your sensitivity number directly between games. Use this conversion:
Valorant Sensitivity = CS2 Sensitivity × 0.314
| CS2 Sensitivity | Valorant Equivalent | eDPI at 800 DPI |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0 | 0.314 | 800 |
| 1.5 | 0.471 | 1200 |
| 2.0 | 0.628 | 1600 |
| 2.5 | 0.785 | 2000 |
| 3.0 | 0.942 | 2400 |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good eDPI for CS2?
The CS2 pro average is 800 eDPI with a range of 400–1200. For most competitive players, 600–1000 eDPI is the ideal starting range — low enough for recoil control and precise headshots but not so low that quick peeking becomes difficult. Start at 800 eDPI (400 DPI × 2.0 or 800 DPI × 1.0) and adjust from there.
What DPI do CS2 pros use?
The majority of CS2 pros use 400 DPI — not because it is technically superior, but because it is a native sensor value on most gaming mice, meaning clean tracking without interpolation. Some newer pros like m0NESY have shifted to 800 DPI with proportionally lower sensitivity to reduce input latency.
What sensitivity does ZywOo use in CS2?
ZywOo uses 400 DPI with 2.0 sensitivity, giving 800 eDPI and approximately 51.9 cm/360. He is widely considered the best player in the world and his settings are among the most copied in competitive CS2.
Is 400 DPI better than 800 DPI in CS2?
Neither is objectively better. 400 DPI × 2.0 = 800 DPI × 1.0 — both give identical eDPI of 800 and the exact same crosshair movement. The difference is that 400 DPI uses larger physical sensitivity steps, which some players find gives smoother micro-adjustments. Choose whichever feels more natural with your mousepad and grip style.
Should I use Raw Input in CS2?
Yes, always. Raw Input bypasses Windows mouse settings entirely and gives your game a direct 1:1 signal from your mouse sensor. Without it, Windows pointer speed and Enhance Pointer Precision can alter your sensitivity unpredictably. Enable it in CS2 Settings → Mouse → Raw Input: On.
How do I convert my CS2 sensitivity to Apex Legends?
CS2 and Apex Legends share the same yaw value (0.022), so your sensitivity number transfers 1:1 between both games at the same DPI. If you use 800 DPI at 1.0 in CS2, use 800 DPI at 1.0 in Apex — your cm/360 will be identical.
