Gaming Calculators and Setup Tools
Switching games should not mean relearning your aim from scratch. That is exactly what the calculators in this section are for: converting your sensitivity from one title to another while keeping the same real mouse distance per 360-degree turn, working out your eDPI so you can compare setups sensibly, and measuring the DPI your sensor actually delivers, which rarely matches the number printed on the box. There is also a crosshair generator for tuning the visual side of your setup.
The most common mistake is comparing raw sensitivity values by eye. Someone plays at 0.4 and you play at 1.8, so it looks like you are on different planets, when in fact DPI changes the whole equation. That is why eDPI, which multiplies DPI by in-game sensitivity, is the only figure that lets you compare two setups honestly. The sensible order is to measure your true DPI first, calculate eDPI from that, and only then reach for the converter. Skip that order and every conversion you make will inherit the same error at the source.
What order to use these calculators in
Each calculator builds on the one before it. Convert your sensitivity before you know your true DPI and you carry that error into every game you play. Start by measuring the hardware, move on to the number that lets you compare yourself with others, and save the fine-tuning for last.
- 01 Measure your real DPI The DPI printed on the box rarely matches what the sensor delivers. Run the DPI analyzer first: if that figure is off, everything you calculate afterwards inherits the same error.
- 02 Work out your eDPI eDPI folds DPI and in-game sensitivity into one number. It is the only figure that lets you compare yourself with other players and with pros, since raw sensitivity means nothing across different games.
- 03 Convert when you switch games Every engine scales sensitivity its own way. The converter carries your exact cm/360 from one game to another so your muscle memory still works from the very first match.
- 04 Tune the crosshair and TTK With your aim settled, sort out the visuals. Build a crosshair that does not cover heads at mid range, and check TTK values so you know how many bullets a target needs before you rotate.
Reference values by game
These ranges come from settings published by professional players. Treat them as orientation, not as targets: they tell you whether you sit far outside what is normal in your game, not what number you should copy.
| Game | Typical pro eDPI | Approximate cm/360 |
|---|---|---|
| CS2 | 800-1000 | 40-50 cm |
| Valorant | 250-320 | 35-45 cm |
| Apex Legends | 1200-1600 | 25-35 cm |
| Fortnite | 40-60 | 30-40 cm |
| Overwatch 2 | 3500-5500 | 25-35 cm |
Frequently asked questions
Why is eDPI a better comparison than DPI on its own?
DPI only describes the sensor and in-game sensitivity only describes the game. eDPI multiplies the two and reflects the actual hand movement you make, which is the part that is comparable between players.
Do I still need to measure DPI if I set it in my mouse software?
Yes. Many sensors drift by a small percentage from the configured value, especially on interpolated steps. Measuring real DPI stops that offset from being carried into every conversion you run afterwards.
Do these calculators work for any game?
They work for any mouse-driven game with an adjustable sensitivity setting. Because conversion depends on each title's internal coefficients, check that your game is supported before applying the result in a match.
