Standardizing Sensitivity: What is eDPI?

Comparing raw mouse sensitivity across players is meaningless without accounting for mouse hardware DPI. eDPI (effective Dots Per Inch) provides the universal standard:

eDPI = Hardware DPI × In-Game Sensitivity

Pro Player Benchmark Medians (2026 Data)

Valorant Median: 240 - 280 eDPI

Equivalent to 46 - 55 cm/360. TenZ: 240 eDPI (800 × 0.3) | aspas: 320 eDPI (800 × 0.4) | Boaster: 200 eDPI (800 × 0.25).

CS2 Median: 750 - 950 eDPI

Equivalent to 43 - 55 cm/360. NiKo: 560 eDPI (400 × 1.4) | m0NESY: 800 eDPI (400 × 2.0) | donk: 1000 eDPI (800 × 1.25).

Why High Sensitivity Causes Inconsistency in Tactical FPS

At distances exceeding 30 meters, an enemy head occupies mere arc-seconds of angular width. If your sensitivity exceeds 400 eDPI in Valorant (under 32 cm/360), a physical mouse twitch of only 0.2 millimeters will cause your reticle to skip past the enemy hitbox entirely.
