EDPI Calculator – Find Your Perfect Aim Sensitivity
What is EDPI?
EDPI (Effective Dots Per Inch) is a simple yet powerful metric used by gamers — especially in first-person shooters (FPS) — to determine the true sensitivity of their aim. It is calculated by multiplying your mouse DPI with your in-game sensitivity setting:
EDPI = DPI × Sensitivity
Unlike DPI or sensitivity alone, EDPI gives a consistent, comparable number that reflects your overall aiming speed across different setups and games.
Why Is EDPI Important for Gamers?
In fast-paced FPS games like Valorant, CS:GO, Apex Legends, and Call of Duty, your aim sensitivity can make or break your performance. Here’s why EDPI matters:
- 🔄 Standardization Across Games: You might have 800 DPI and 0.5 sensitivity in Valorant, and 400 DPI with 1.0 sensitivity in CS:GO — both give you the same EDPI: 400. This helps in keeping a consistent feel across different games.
- 🎮 Pro-Level Precision: Most professional players fine-tune their EDPI to match their comfort zone. Knowing your EDPI allows you to compare and improve your own settings with top-tier players.
- ⚙️ Better Sensitivity Control: If your aim feels too fast or too slow, adjusting your DPI or sensitivity becomes more precise with an EDPI reference.
How the EDPI Calculator Works
Our EDPI Calculator is a free, fast, and simple tool that lets you calculate your effective sensitivity in seconds. Here’s how to use it:
- Enter your mouse DPI (e.g., 800)
- Enter your in-game sensitivity (e.g., 0.5)
- Click “Calculate” (if required), and your EDPI will be instantly displayed
For example:
800 DPI × 0.5 Sensitivity = 400 EDPI
This EDPI value gives you a measurable number to compare or adjust your aim sensitivity.
How to Choose the Right EDPI
The right EDPI depends on your playstyle:
| Playstyle | Suggested EDPI Range |
|---|---|
| Sniper / Precision | 200–300 |
| Balanced Player | 300–450 |
| High-Speed / Flicks | 450–600 |
While many pro players stick between 250–400, your ideal EDPI should feel natural and allow both speed and accuracy. The calculator helps you experiment safely.
Use Cases for the EDPI Calculator
- Switching Games: Maintain the same aiming feel from Valorant to CS:GO
- Trying Pro Settings: Find out your favorite streamer’s EDPI and match it
- Tweaking Sensitivity: Adjust DPI or sensitivity while keeping EDPI constant
- Cross-Mouse Setup: If you change your mouse DPI, you can recalculate instantly
- Avoid Aim Discomfort: Fix sensitivity issues that affect your wrist or aim control
DPI vs Sensitivity vs EDPI – What’s the Difference?
| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| DPI | Dots Per Inch – how far your cursor moves per inch moved |
| Sensitivity | In-game setting that adjusts how mouse movement is translated in the game |
| EDPI | Combination of both – giving the real effective sensitivity |
Only knowing DPI or sensitivity isn’t enough — EDPI gives you the full picture.
Example Settings from Popular Pro Players
| Player | Game | DPI | Sensitivity | EDPI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TenZ | Valorant | 800 | 0.4 | 320 |
| S1mple | CS:GO | 400 | 3.09 | 1236 |
| Shroud | Various | 450 | 2.4 | 1080 |

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is EDPI?
EDPI stands for Effective Dots Per Inch and is the product of your DPI and in-game sensitivity.
What’s a good EDPI for Valorant or CS:GO?
Most pro players stay in the range of 240–400 EDPI. The “right” EDPI varies by personal comfort.
Why not just use DPI or sensitivity alone?
Because both can vary drastically. EDPI gives a consistent number for comparing and adjusting aim.
Is this calculator only for FPS games?
Primarily yes, but you can use it for any game where aiming sensitivity matters.
Can I trust the results?
Yes, the calculation is mathematically accurate and used by gamers globally.
