DPI Basics

🖱️ What does DPI mean?

DPI stands for "Dots Per Inch" and measures mouse sensitivity. It represents how many pixels your cursor moves on screen for every inch you move your mouse physically. Higher DPI = more sensitive mouse movement.

🎯 What's the ideal DPI for gaming?

There's no universal "best" DPI - it depends on your preferences, game type, and screen resolution. Most professional gamers use between 400-1600 DPI. Lower DPI offers more precision, while higher DPI allows faster movements.

                                            💡 Pro Tip: Start with 800 DPI and adjust based on your comfort level and game requirements.
                                        

📏 How do I calculate my effective DPI?

Effective DPI = Mouse DPI × In-game sensitivity. For example, if your mouse is set to 800 DPI and your game sensitivity is 2.5, your effective DPI is 2000. Our calculator helps you find the perfect balance.

🔄 Should I use high or low DPI?

Low DPI (400-800): Better precision, requires more mouse movement
High DPI (1600+): Faster cursor movement, less precise
Medium DPI (800-1600): Good balance for most users

03

Testing Tools

🧪 How accurate are your DPI tests?

Our DPI calculator is highly accurate, typically within ±5% of actual values. Accuracy depends on consistent mouse movement and proper calibration. For best results, move your mouse in straight lines at moderate speed.

⚡ What is polling rate and why does it matter?

Polling rate (measured in Hz) is how often your mouse reports its position to your computer. Higher polling rates (1000Hz) provide smoother cursor movement and lower input lag, crucial for competitive gaming.

🖱️ How do I test my click speed?

Use our Click Speed Test tool to measure your clicks per second (CPS). Simply click as fast as possible within the time limit. Average users achieve 5-7 CPS, while experienced gamers can reach 10+ CPS.

🎯 What is mouse acceleration and should I disable it?

Mouse acceleration changes cursor speed based on how fast you move your mouse. Most gamers disable it for consistent aim. Our acceleration checker helps you detect if it's enabled and provides instructions to disable it.

04

Gaming Optimization

🎮 Best mouse settings for FPS games?

Recommended settings:
• DPI: 400-800 (lower for precision)
• Polling Rate: 1000Hz
• Mouse Acceleration: Disabled
• In-game sensitivity: Adjust to preference

🏆 How do pro gamers set up their mice?

Professional gamers typically use low DPI (400-800) with high polling rates (1000Hz) and disabled acceleration. They compensate with larger mouse movements and bigger mousepads for precise aiming.

📐 What's the 360° distance rule?

This refers to how far you need to move your mouse to do a complete 360° turn in-game. Most pros use 20-40cm for a full rotation. Use our sensitivity calculator to find your ideal 360° distance.

🎯 How to improve mouse accuracy?

• Use consistent DPI and sensitivity settings
• Practice aim training regularly
• Ensure proper mouse grip and posture
• Use a quality mousepad
• Disable mouse acceleration

05

Technical Issues

🚫 The DPI test isn't working. What should I do?

Try these solutions:
• Ensure JavaScript is enabled in your browser
• Disable browser extensions that might interfere
• Try a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
• Clear your browser cache and cookies

📊 My results seem inaccurate. Why?

Inaccurate results can be caused by:
• Inconsistent mouse movement during testing
• Mouse acceleration being enabled
• Poor quality mouse sensor
• Dirty or inappropriate mousepad surface

🖥️ Does screen resolution affect the tests?

Yes, screen resolution can affect DPI calculations. Our tools automatically account for most resolution differences, but for best accuracy, ensure your browser is at 100% zoom level during testing.

🔄 Should I test multiple times?

Yes! We recommend testing 3-5 times and taking the average for most accurate results. Consistent results across multiple tests indicate reliable measurements.

06

Mouse Hardware

🖱️ What makes a good gaming mouse?

Key features to look for:
• High-quality optical or laser sensor
• Adjustable DPI settings
• 1000Hz polling rate capability
• Comfortable ergonomic design
• Durable switches (50M+ clicks)

💡 Optical vs Laser sensors - which is better?

Optical sensors: More accurate, work best on cloth pads, preferred by most gamers
Laser sensors: Work on more surfaces, higher DPI capabilities, but can have acceleration issues

🎯 Do expensive mice perform better?

Not necessarily! While premium mice often have better sensors and build quality, many mid-range mice ($30-60) perform excellently for gaming. Focus on sensor quality and features rather than price alone.

🧽 How often should I clean my mouse?

Clean your mouse weekly for optimal performance. Use compressed air for the sensor, alcohol wipes for the surface, and ensure your mousepad is clean. Dirty sensors can cause tracking issues.

07

Accuracy & Precision

🎯 What's the difference between accuracy and precision?

Accuracy: How close your cursor lands to where you intended
Precision: How consistently you can repeat the same movement
Both are important for gaming performance!

📏 How to measure mouse precision?

Our precision test measures how consistently your mouse tracks movement. Lower values indicate better precision. Factors affecting precision include sensor quality, surface, and movement speed.

⚡ Does mouse speed affect accuracy?

Yes! Moving your mouse too quickly can cause tracking errors, especially with lower-end sensors. Our tests help you find the optimal movement speed for your mouse.

🏆 What are considered good test scores?

DPI Accuracy: ±5% or better
Polling Rate: 1000Hz consistently
Click Latency: Under 10ms
Precision: Low variance in repeated movements

08

Troubleshooting

🐛 My mouse feels laggy or unresponsive

Common solutions:
• Check USB connection (try different ports)
• Update mouse drivers
• Increase polling rate to 1000Hz
• Close unnecessary background programs
• Check for Windows mouse settings interference

🎯 Cursor jumps or skips randomly

This usually indicates sensor issues:
• Clean the mouse sensor with compressed air
• Check mousepad for debris or damage
• Try a different surface
• Lower your DPI settings
• Replace the mouse if problems persist

⚙️ Mouse software conflicts with games

Some mouse software can cause issues:
• Disable mouse software overlays
• Set game-specific profiles
• Run games as administrator
• Try using Windows default drivers

🔧 How to reset mouse settings?

Windows settings: Control Panel > Mouse > Reset to defaults
Mouse software: Look for "Reset" or "Default" options
Registry: Advanced users can reset via registry editor

09

Advanced Topics

🔬 What is sensor interpolation?

Interpolation occurs when a mouse sensor can't track fast movements accurately and "guesses" cursor positions. This creates artificial smoothing and reduces precision. Quality gaming mice minimize interpolation.

📊 Understanding jitter and smoothing

Jitter: Random pixel-level cursor movement when mouse is stationary
Smoothing: Artificial cursor path correction that adds input lag
Both should be minimized for competitive gaming.

⚡ What is angle snapping?

Angle snapping forces straight lines when moving your mouse in roughly straight directions. While it can help with drawing, it's generally unwanted in gaming as it interferes with natural aim.

🎮 Raw input vs Windows mouse settings

Raw input: Direct communication between mouse and game, bypassing Windows
Windows input: Processed through Windows mouse settings
Most competitive games offer raw input options for better precision.
