The Perfect Sensitivity Calculator helps gamers determine the ideal mouse sensitivity setting to achieve their desired centimeters per 360-degree turn (cm/360) based on their mouse DPI (dots per inch) setting.
The calculator uses the sensitivity formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the in-game sensitivity setting needed to achieve your preferred cm/360 based on your mouse's DPI.
Details: Finding the right sensitivity is crucial for gaming performance. It affects aim precision, muscle memory development, and overall comfort during gameplay.
Tips: Enter your desired cm/360 (typically between 20-50cm for most FPS games) and your mouse DPI (common values are 400, 800, or 1600). All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is a good cm/360 for FPS games?
A: Most professional FPS players use between 30-50cm/360 for a balance of precision and mobility.
Q2: Does mouse pad size affect sensitivity choice?
A: Yes, your sensitivity should allow at least one full 360-degree turn within your mouse pad's width.
Q3: Should I change my DPI or in-game sensitivity?
A: It's generally recommended to use your mouse's native DPI (often 800 or 1600) and adjust in-game sensitivity.
Q4: How do I measure my current cm/360?
A: Mark your starting position, do a full 360-degree turn in-game, and measure how far your mouse moved.
Q5: Does Windows sensitivity affect this?
A: Yes, always keep Windows pointer speed at 6/11 (default) with enhanced pointer precision off for accurate calculations.
