CS:GO eDPI Calculator
Calculate your CS:GO eDPI (sensitivity × DPI in one number).
How to use the eDPI calculator
Choose your sensitivity type
Number for most games (Valorant, CS2), or Percentage for games that show sensitivity as a percent (Fortnite).
Enter your sensitivity and DPI
Type your in-game sensitivity and your mouse DPI. DPI defaults to 800 if you leave it.
Read your eDPI
The result updates instantly as you type. Copy it with one click.
What is eDPI in CS:GO?
eDPI (effective dots per inch) folds your whole mouse setup into a single number. It’s the one figure that describes how fast your crosshair actually moves in CS:GO, no matter how you split it between mouse DPI and in-game sensitivity.
That’s why two players can feel identical on completely different settings. A low-sens / high-DPI setup and a high-sens / low-DPI one land on the same eDPI, and the same turning speed:
Because it collapses everything into one comparable figure, eDPI is the standard way players share their CS:GO settings and match a pro’s aim, without quoting DPI and sensitivity separately every time.
What is a good eDPI for CS:GO?
There is no single correct eDPI for CS:GO. The number that matters is the one you can control consistently, so treat these common bands as a guide, not a rule.
- Low0-700 eDPI
- Medium700-1200 eDPI
- High1200+ eDPI
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my CS:GO eDPI?
Multiply your in-game sensitivity by your mouse DPI. For example, 0.5 sensitivity at 800 DPI is an eDPI of 400. This calculator works it out instantly as you type.
Is a higher eDPI better?
No. A higher eDPI just turns faster, and a lower one gives more precision. The best eDPI is the one you can aim with reliably, not the highest or the lowest.
Why doesn't my CS:GO eDPI feel the same in another game?
eDPI only compares cleanly within the same game. Each game scales its sensitivity differently, so two settings with the same eDPI in different games can feel very different. To carry your aim between games, use a sensitivity converter instead.
