What is eDPI and why does it matter?

eDPI (effective Dots Per Inch) is a standardized measurement that combines your mouse DPI with your in-game sensitivity to create a single number representing your true mouse speed. Since different games use different sensitivity scales, eDPI allows players to compare and maintain consistent aim across multiple games. It's especially useful when switching between games or finding your ideal sensitivity settings.

Tool description

The Risk of Rain 2 eDPI Calculator converts Risk of Rain 2's in-game sensitivity settings to an eDPI value based on the Counter-Strike sensitivity scale. This tool helps players understand their actual mouse sensitivity in a standardized format that can be compared across different games and with community recommendations.

Features

  • DPI Input: Enter your mouse DPI setting (hardware sensitivity)
  • Sensitivity Slider: Adjust your Risk of Rain 2 in-game sensitivity with precision (0.01-1.00 range)
  • Real-time eDPI Calculation: Instantly converts your settings to standardized eDPI
  • Sensitivity Categories: Automatically categorizes your eDPI (Very Low, Low, Medium, High, Very High)
  • Community Reference Ranges: Displays common sensitivity ranges used by the community
  • Standardized Conversion: Converts game-specific sensitivity to universal eDPI format

Sensitivity categories

  • Very Low (<300 eDPI): Maximum precision, requires large mouse movements
  • Low (300-700 eDPI): High precision with moderate mouse movements
  • Medium (700-1100 eDPI): Balanced between precision and speed
  • High (1100-1500 eDPI): Fast movements with reduced precision
  • Very High (>1500 eDPI): Maximum speed, minimal mouse movement required

Use cases

  • Cross-game Consistency: Match your sensitivity across different games using eDPI as a reference
  • Sensitivity Optimization: Find your ideal sensitivity range based on community standards
  • Settings Backup: Record your eDPI to easily recreate settings after reinstalling
  • Team Comparison: Compare sensitivity settings with teammates or professional players
  • Hardware Changes: Maintain consistent aim feel when switching mice or mousepads
