DPI conversion
DPI sensitivity converter.
Use this tool when you change mouse DPI but want to keep a similar in-game turn speed. It keeps your eDPI constant by adjusting your sensitivity in the opposite direction.
Formula
The converter keeps eDPI the same:
new sensitivity = old sensitivity x old DPI / new DPI
If your new DPI is higher, the in-game sensitivity number should go down. If your new DPI is lower, the in-game sensitivity number should go up.
Quick Examples
Use these examples when moving between common mouse DPI settings. The result keeps the same eDPI inside the same game.
| Old DPI | Old sensitivity | New DPI | New sensitivity | eDPI kept |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 400 | 2.00 | 800 | 1.000 | 800 |
| 400 | 2.00 | 1600 | 0.500 | 800 |
| 800 | 1.00 | 400 | 2.000 | 800 |
| 800 | 1.00 | 1600 | 0.500 | 800 |
| 1600 | 0.50 | 800 | 1.000 | 800 |
| 1600 | 0.15 | 800 | 0.300 | 240 |
Equivalent DPI Settings
This table shows how one target eDPI maps to different mouse DPI values. Pick the row closest to your current setup, then test in-game.
| Target eDPI | 400 DPI sens | 800 DPI sens | 1600 DPI sens | Use case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 200 | 0.500 | 0.250 | 0.125 | Slow tactical baseline |
| 240 | 0.600 | 0.300 | 0.150 | Common Valorant-style baseline |
| 320 | 0.800 | 0.400 | 0.200 | Faster Valorant-style baseline |
| 800 | 2.000 | 1.000 | 0.500 | Common CS2-style baseline |
| 1200 | 3.000 | 1.500 | 0.750 | Fast CS2-style baseline |
When To Use This
- You changed your mouse DPI in software or onboard memory.
- You want the same eDPI inside one FPS game.
- You want a clean starting point before fine tuning.
- You are moving to a higher polling-rate mouse and want to keep your familiar in-game feel.
Before You Change DPI
- Write down your old DPI and sensitivity before testing the new setup.
- Change only DPI and sensitivity first; keep FOV, ADS, scoped settings, and Windows pointer settings stable.
- Test one training routine or deathmatch before deciding whether the converted value feels right.
- If the game has separate ADS or scope multipliers, check those after the hip-fire baseline is stable.
Limitations
This only adjusts sensitivity for a DPI change. It does not convert between different games. For cross-game conversion, use the main AimScale converter or compare cm/360.
Common Questions
Can I use this when changing from 800 DPI to 1600 DPI?
Yes. If you double DPI, halve your in-game sensitivity to keep the same eDPI inside the same game.
Does this keep cm/360 the same?
Inside the same game, keeping eDPI constant usually keeps the same hip-fire turn speed. It does not handle cross-game yaw differences.
Should I change DPI and sensitivity often?
Try to avoid frequent changes. Use this converter when you have a clear reason to change DPI, then test one new setting for several sessions.
Why does my aim still feel different after matching eDPI?
Mouse sensor behavior, polling rate, desk space, grip, and in-game scoped settings can still affect feel. Matching eDPI is the first step, not the final tuning step.
