DPI?

[NotReally]

So, I got my windows mouse settings on default 6/11,had my CS GO sensitivity at 2.5 and my mouse DPI is 1000. Does it mean I was actually playing with 2500 DPI?

[aj]

no its still 1000 dpi

[Captain Hollywood]

No. Anyway, try to play with 400, max 800 dpi.

no to what

his effective dpi or edpi = dpi x sens

1000 x 2.5 = 2500

op you are playing at 2500 edpi in csgo

EDPI is just a common way to share the game sensitivity, it's not a real value. His mouse is working at 1000 dpi of resolution.

So, to bring my EDPI to 500, I just have to set my ingame sensitivity to 0.5?

[im broke]

I have the same sensitivity and dpi since I started playing cs lol

Thanks for everyone for responding, it did get a bit heated inbetween some of you guys but I undrustand it a bit now. Gonna leave my ingame sensitivity on 0.8 to get 800 EDPI and see how it goes.

[was zuckst n so ???]

3000+ and ingame 1,07

I'm gonna to explain you quickly. The 99% of the mouse sensors come from the china and they are designed to work with a base of 400. If you increase the dpi value, the mouse makes a software multiplication. THe best way to use your mouse is between 400 - 800 dpi.
Use the game sensitivity to reach the "EDPI", but try to stay 400-800 on your mouse.

It depends on the mouse usually acceptable dpi is 400/800/1600

what important in the game is your edpi which is both your DPI x SENS. like your dpi is 800 and sens is 1 same as 400 on 2.

The good range for eDPI is something between 750-1250eDPI.

most modern/decent gaming mice are not tied to 400 dpi now

A Razer enginner explained me this, so i'm just informing the user. Then it will be up to him to decide.

lots of info out there about how modern sensors dont have a native dpi now

Good, but we don't know if the user has a modern or an old mouse. So, since he now know all these stuff, let him decide.

Ahh, the mouse has actually DPI button on it, 1000/1600 DPI, so I just figured that slower cursor means that it means it is 1000DPI and when I click on it again it goes faster and once again click makes it go back to slower.

Edit: I just read that everybody recommends 400-800 DPI and tried to figure out how to get to it since the windows mouse settings, mouse with its own DPI and cs go sensitivity settings confused the heck out of me. Atleast I undrustand it now... somewhat...

DPI is the sensor resolution of your mouse. Your mouse can work at 1000 and 1600. We suggested 400 and 800, but your mouse starts from 1000, so, use 1000 or whatever you want.

EDPI is the common way to share the sensitivity. EDPI = DPI * Game Sensitivity. EDPI isn't related to your mouse, it's just an imaginary value

[Hamsterpeek]

What Windows settings you use don't matter as long you use m_rawinput 1 (which you should use). It doesn't matter what DPI and ingame sensitive you've. What matters is the multiplication out of these two values which is called the eDPI (effective DPI).

So when you have 800 DPI with 1 sens it's the same as 400 DPI with 2 sens.

Btw. 2500 eDPI is very high. It's suggest to use roughly 900 eDPI (+- some hundreds).

i fail to see how multiplying two numbers creates an imaginary number

imaginary VALUE not number. If you have 3 apples in your basket and multiply them by 2, you will get 6 but in your basket there are always 3 apples.

400 DPI * 2 = 800 EDPI -> Your mouse works at 400 DPI
800 DPI * 1 = 800 EPID -> Your mouse works at 800 DPI

As you can see, EDPI is just a common number without sense.
