How to Calculate New Sensitivity When Changing Mouse DPI

A modern mouse nowadays can have a range of DPI from 200 to 8,000 or even up to 16,000. The value can also be customized if the mouse has its own customization program such as Logitech Gaming Software.

The formula for calculating new sensitivity:

Old sensitivity x Old DPI ÷ New DPI = New sensitivity 

For example 

  • Old sensitivity: 3 
  • Old DPI: 400 
  • New DPI: 800 

Calculation: 3 × 400 ÷ 800 = 1.5

New in-game sensitivity = 1.5
