Measure the true DPI of your mouse with this tool and improve your gaming!
You can use the analyzer to find the sensor accuracy and determine what your DPI is if it is unknown.
Info
- You can measure all four axes:
- X+ is from left to right.
- X- is from right to left.
- Y+ is from bottom to top.
- Y- is from top to bottom.
- The actual DPI is shown with an accuracy of two decimals.
- The target count and actual moved counts will also be shown.
- Use your measured actual DPI in the Mouse Sensitivity Calculator and Converter to improve the accuracy of the distance calculations.
Instructions
- To accurately measure how far you move your mouse, draw inch/cm lines on a piece of paper and use it as a mousepad.
- Enter your current DPI setting, if known. You do not need to enter this if it is unknown, but it is necessary for the accuracy calculation and to display the target crosshair. If you don't know the DPI of your mouse, you can skip entering a DPI here, and move the mouse the target distance to check what the actual DPI is.
- Enter the target distance for how far you are moving your mouse and select the correct unit for your measurement.
- Select which axis you want to measure, and set the Windows Pointer Speed value if you are not using the default 10 (6/11).
- Click the red crosshair, and hold the mouse button down.
- Move your mouse as straight as possible the target distance as mapped out on the piece of paper (or however you prefer to measure it).
- Note that the goal is NOT to move the red crosshair on top of the blue one, which is just an indicator of where 0% deviation is. Instead, physically move your mouse the target distance and observe where the red crosshair ends up.
- Release the mouse button to stop recording the movement when you have moved the mouse the target distance.
