Guide
DPI times sens, nothing more. But the number only works for the right comparison.
eDPI stands for effective DPI: your DPI times your in-game sens. Play at 800 DPI with sens 1.2 and you have 960 eDPI.
It is a shortcut. Two players with the same eDPI in the same game move the mouse the same distance for a full turn, even if their DPI and sens differ.
The comparison only holds within one game, or between games that turn equally far per mouse count, such as CS2 and Apex. Other games turn differently, so 800 eDPI in CS2 is not the same as 800 eDPI in Valorant.
The table shows the eDPI you need in another game so the mouse feels like it does in CS2.
| Game | CS2 400 | CS2 800 | CS2 1200 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CS2 | 400 | 800 | 1200 |
| Valorant | 126 | 251 | 377 |
| Apex Legends | 400 | 800 | 1200 |
| Overwatch 2 | 1333 | 2667 | 4000 |
| Fortnite | 1584 | 3168 | 4752 |
| Rainbow Six Siege | 1536 | 3072 | 4608 |
| Call of Duty | 1333 | 2667 | 4000 |
The mouse distance for a full turn follows directly from eDPI and the turn rate of the game. In CS2:
More eDPI means a shorter distance and a faster turn, less eDPI means a longer distance and a calmer turn.
There is no right value. What matters is that you control your aim and your turns. As a guide, most well-known players sit between 40 and 70 cm per 360° (estimate based on ProSettings.net, 2026). In CS2 that is roughly 600 to 1050 eDPI.
Start with a value in that range and test it. The sens finder lets you compare two values over seven rounds until one feels right.
