Effective Dots Per Inch (eDPI) represents the overall sensitivity in Valorant, calculated by multiplying in-game sensitivity by mouse DPI. A tool facilitating this calculation, often referred to as an eDPI calculator, allows players to find their ideal sensitivity by comparing their current settings with those of professional players or achieving consistent aiming across different games.
Understanding and managing this combined sensitivity is crucial for consistent aim and overall performance. Finding an optimal setting improves accuracy and control, allowing players to react quickly and precisely. This concept gained prominence with the rise of competitive online gaming where consistent aiming became paramount. Players utilize such tools to maintain consistent aim while experimenting with different mouse DPI settings or transitioning between games.
