To calculate eDPI, multiply your mouse DPI by your in-game sensitivity. The result is your effective DPI, one number that shows how fast your aim really is. This guide explains the formula, gives worked examples for popular games, and links to a detailed guide for each game.

The eDPI Formula

eDPI = Mouse DPI × In-game Sensitivity

Two players with different DPI and sensitivity can have the same eDPI. For example, 400 DPI × 2.0 and 800 DPI × 1.0 both give 800 eDPI, so they turn at the same speed in the same game.

Step by Step

  1. Find your mouse DPI in your mouse software (for example Logitech G Hub or Razer Synapse).
  2. Open your game settings and note your in-game sensitivity.
  3. Multiply the two numbers.
  4. Compare the result with the pro range for that game.

Why eDPI Only Compares Within One Game

Each game uses a different sensitivity scale. A Valorant eDPI of 320 and a CS2 eDPI of 760 are not comparable numbers. To match your aim across games, compare cm/360 instead, using the game sensitivity converter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good eDPI?

It depends on the game. In October 2026, the pro median was about 830 eDPI in CS2 and about 250 in Valorant.

Is higher eDPI better?

No. Higher eDPI turns faster but is harder to control. Most FPS pros use a fairly low eDPI for precise aiming.

Does polling rate change eDPI?

No. Polling rate changes how often the mouse reports its position, not the eDPI.
