Mouse sensitivity, DPI and eDPI explained
Understand the eDPI conversion, compare settings and choose a sensitivity you can control.
STEP 01
What eDPI means
eDPI is a convenient comparison value: mouse DPI multiplied by in-game sensitivity. Two setups with the same product can produce a similar horizontal turn rate when the game uses the same mouse scaling.
STEP 02
Convert to a physical distance
The calculator estimates centimetres per 360 degrees using the conventional CS2 yaw value of 0.022. Your real result can differ if the configuration, zoom sensitivity or input path differs.
STEP 03
Choose for control, not a leaderboard
Professional settings are examples, not prescriptions. Test small adjustments in a repeatable routine, keep your desk space and grip in mind, and give a setting time before judging it.
Quick checklist
- Read your mouse DPI from its software or device profile.
- Enter the in-game sensitivity shown in CS2.
- Use the resulting eDPI only as a comparison aid.
- Make small changes and repeat the same aim test.
