Convert your mouse sensitivity when changing DPI. Enter your current DPI and sensitivity, pick a new DPI, and get the exact adjusted value.
How it works
Your eDPI (800 × 1.5 = 1200) stays constant. When you change DPI, the tool adjusts your sensitivity so your mouse covers the same physical distance per 360° turn.

DPI is one half of the equation. eDPI is the full picture.
eDPI = DPI × in-game sensitivity. When changing DPI, multiply your old sensitivity by (old DPI ÷ new DPI) to keep the same feel. 800 DPI at 1.0 sens equals 1600 DPI at 0.5 sens: both give eDPI 800 and identical cm/360.
DPI (dots per inch) controls how many pixels the cursor moves per physical inch of mouse movement. A mouse at 1600 DPI moves the cursor twice as far as one at 800 DPI for the same hand motion. Games apply in-game sensitivity on top, so your actual mouse speed is always DPI × sensitivity.
When you switch DPI because of a new mouse, firmware update, or preference change, use this converter to keep the same eDPI. Moving from 400 to 800 DPI means halving the in-game sensitivity. Treat the result as a starting point and test it in the game.
Quick reference when switching between common DPI settings.
| From | To | Old sens | New sens | eDPI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 800 DPI | 1600 DPI | 1.0 | 0.5 | 800 |
| 400 DPI | 800 DPI | 2.0 | 1.0 | 800 |
| 1600 DPI | 800 DPI | 0.5 | 1.0 | 800 |
| 400 DPI | 1600 DPI | 2.0 | 0.5 | 800 |
| 800 DPI | 400 DPI | 1.0 | 2.0 | 800 |
| 1600 DPI | 3200 DPI | 0.5 | 0.25 | 800 |
All rows keep the same eDPI. Formula: new sens = old sens × (old DPI ÷ new DPI).
There's no universally correct DPI. Here's how to decide.
Low DPI (400–800)
High DPI (1600–3200)
