About

In Counter-Strike 2, consistency is the holy grail. eDPI (Effective Dots Per Inch) is the standardized metric used to compare true sensitivity across the community. Because one player might use 400 DPI with 2.0 sensitivity, and another 800 DPI with 1.0 sensitivity, comparing just the 'sensitivity' number is useless. Both these players have an eDPI of 800.

This tool not only calculates your effective sensitivity but allows you to simulate the settings of top-tier professional players. Browsing the database of pros like ZywOo, NiKo, and m0NESY gives you insight into the 'meta' ranges. Most pros fall between 600 and 1200 eDPI, striking a balance between micro-adjustment precision and movement speed.

Formulas

eDPI = DPI × Sensitivity

Reference Data

Player Role	Avg. eDPI	Why?
AWPer (Sniper)	800 - 1200	Needs higher speed for flicks and reaction shots.
Rifler (Entry)	700 - 1000	Balanced for checking corners and sharp turns.
Rifler (Support/Anchor)	600 - 880	Lower sensitivity for extreme precision holding angles.
Wrist Aimer	1000+	Uses small wrist movements; needs high sens.
Arm Aimer	< 800	Uses whole arm; allows lower sens for stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

The median eDPI for professional CS players is around 800 to 880. Anything below 600 is considered 'Low,' and anything above 1200 is 'High.' Most new players start way too high (e.g., 3000 eDPI) and improve drastically by lowering it.

It is largely tradition. Early Microsoft IntelliMouse sensors were locked to 400 DPI. However, playing on 400 DPI in menus makes the cursor slow, ensuring you don't accidentally misclick buy menus or settings during rapid changes.

No. eDPI only accounts for hip-fire sensitivity. Zoom sensitivity is a separate multiplier (usually 1.0) applied when scoping with the AWP or SSG.
