Apex Legends eDPI Calculator
How to use it: Apex Legends is already selected on this page and the sensitivity box starts at 1.5. Type your mouse DPI (or tap 400, 800, 1600 or 3200), then your Apex Mouse Sensitivity. You get your eDPI, your cm/360 and in/360, and the matching sensitivity for Valorant, CS2 and Overwatch 2.
This Apex Legends eDPI calculator multiplies your mouse DPI by your Apex mouse sensitivity, so 800 DPI at 1.5 gives 1,200 eDPI. It also shows the distance your mouse travels for a full 360 degree turn (34.6 cm at 1,200 eDPI) and the sensitivity that gives the same hip fire feel in Valorant, CS2 and Overwatch 2.
eDPI, or effective DPI, is the number Apex players compare because DPI and sensitivity trade off against each other. 400 DPI at 2.8 and 800 DPI at 1.4 are both 1,120 eDPI, and both turn your legend exactly the same distance for the same hand movement.
How to use the Apex Legends eDPI calculator
- Check that the Apex Legends button is highlighted in the game row. It is selected for you on this page, and the sensitivity box starts at 1.5.
- Enter your Mouse DPI. The box starts at 800, or keeps the DPI you last typed on any of our eDPI pages. The quick buttons fill in 400, 800, 1600 or 3200.
- Type your Apex sensitivity into In-game sensitivity, exactly as the game shows it, for example 1.2 or 2.
- Read the first tile. That is your Apex eDPI, and it updates as you type.
- Read cm / 360° and in / 360° for your turn distance, then the Same feel in other games list for Valorant, CS2 and Overwatch 2.
Your game, DPI and sensitivity are saved in this browser on this device, and nothing is uploaded. When you open this page again the sensitivity goes back to 1.5, so type yours in again before you compare.
How to calculate eDPI in Apex Legends
Apex Legends eDPI is your mouse DPI multiplied by your Mouse Sensitivity:
Apex eDPI = DPI x mouse sensitivity
So 800 DPI at 1.2 is 960 eDPI, 800 DPI at 1.5 is 1,200, and 1600 DPI at 0.7 is 1,120. The multiplication works the same way in most shooters. What differs from game to game is how far the camera turns for each count the mouse sends, so an Apex eDPI only lines up directly with other Apex players and with CS2, which shares the same rotation. For the general idea behind DPI and effective DPI, read eDPI explained.
These are the values the calculator returns for some common setups.
| Setup | eDPI | cm/360 |
|---|---|---|
| 800 DPI x 1 | 800 | 52 cm |
| 800 DPI x 1.2 | 960 | 43.3 cm |
| 800 DPI x 1.4 | 1,120 | 37.1 cm |
| 800 DPI x 1.5 | 1,200 | 34.6 cm |
| 400 DPI x 3 | 1,200 | 34.6 cm |
| 800 DPI x 2 | 1,600 | 26 cm |
| 800 DPI x 3 | 2,400 | 17.3 cm |
Notice that 800 DPI at 1.5 and 400 DPI at 3 land on the same 1,200 eDPI and the same 34.6 cm. That is the whole point of eDPI: the parts can differ while the feel stays identical.
Where to find your Apex sensitivity and DPI
Your sensitivity lives in Apex Legends, your DPI lives on the mouse.
- In Apex Legends, open Settings from the menu.
- Go to the Mouse/Keyboard tab.
- Mouse Sensitivity is the number to type into the calculator.
- Below it you will find ADS Mouse Sensitivity Multiplier and Mouse Acceleration. Leave the multiplier out of the calculation.
Your DPI is set in the mouse’s own software or with a button on the mouse. Many mice have DPI stages that are easy to switch by accident, and the real value a sensor sends can differ a little from the number on the box. If you are not sure what yours actually sends, measure it with the mouse DPI analyzer before you trust the result.
Apex Legends cm/360 and what it means
cm/360 is how far your mouse travels across the pad for one full turn in game. Apex Legends turns 0.022 degrees per mouse count at sensitivity 1, the same value as CS2, and the calculator uses exactly that:
inches per 360 = 360 / (0.022 x eDPI), and cm = inches x 2.54
That works out to roughly 41,564 divided by your eDPI for centimetres. 800 eDPI is 52 cm, 1,200 eDPI is 34.6 cm and 2,400 eDPI is 17.3 cm. A bigger number means a slower sensitivity, more arm movement and steadier small corrections.
Put your cm/360 next to the width of your mouse pad. If a full turn needs 37 cm and your pad is 45 cm wide, you can spin round in one sweep. If your pad is smaller than half your cm/360, you will keep lifting the mouse during fights, which is a sign your sensitivity is too low for your space.
What is a good eDPI for Apex Legends?
A good Apex eDPI lets you track a strafing, sliding target without your crosshair jumping off and still turn fast enough when you are third partied. For most mouse players that is around 900 to 1,400, and the pro scene sits close to the middle of it.
We counted the ProSettings.net Apex Legends list of 73 players on 25 October 2026. 55 of them list both a DPI and a sensitivity, and these are the numbers for those 55:
| ProSettings.net Apex list | Value |
|---|---|
| Median eDPI | 1,120 (37.1 cm) |
| Middle half of players | 960 to 1,200 |
| eDPI of 1,200 or lower | 43 of 55 |
| eDPI above 1,600 | 4 of 55 |
| 800 DPI | 33 of 55 |
| ADS multiplier 1.0 | 36 of 44 listed |
A few players go much higher, with one setup near 7,800 eDPI, so the average climbs to about 1,270. The median is the better guide to a typical pro.
Corsair’s Apex calculator says most pro players use between 600 and 1,600 eDPI, which agrees with the list. EA’s own help page suggests a Mouse Sensitivity of 3.0 to 5.0 as a starting point, or personal preference, and adds that many competitive players prefer low to medium sensitivity. At 800 DPI that EA range is 2,400 to 4,000 eDPI, roughly twice to three and a half times the pro median, so treat it as a casual starting point rather than a competitive one.
Pro numbers are a reference, not a target. Pros play on large pads, many aim with the whole arm, and they have thousands of hours at their speed. If you play on a small pad or aim mostly with your wrist, 1,400 to 1,800 eDPI may simply be easier to live with.
What sensitivity do Apex pros use at 800 DPI?
Most use between 1.0 and 2.0. That covers 31 of the 33 pros at 800 DPI on the ProSettings.net list, and the most common values are 1.2 and 1.4 (six players each), followed by 1.5 (five players). At 800 DPI that is 960, 1,120 and 1,200 eDPI.
800 DPI is the clear favourite among those pros, with 1600 DPI second (9 players) and 400 DPI third (6 players). Neither gives better aim on its own, because the game turns the same amount for the same eDPI. A higher DPI moves the Windows cursor faster and gives the game more counts per centimetre of hand movement, so pick the DPI that feels normal on your desktop and set Mouse Sensitivity to reach the eDPI you want.
Changing DPI without changing your Apex aim
When you change DPI, change the sensitivity by the opposite factor and your eDPI stays the same. Every row in this table is 1,120 eDPI and 37.1 cm/360.
| DPI | Sensitivity | eDPI |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | 2.8 | 1,120 |
| 800 | 1.4 | 1,120 |
| 1600 | 0.7 | 1,120 |
| 3200 | 0.35 | 1,120 |
The rule is new sensitivity = old eDPI / new DPI. Moving from 800 DPI at 1.2 (960 eDPI) to 1600 DPI, for example, gives 960 / 1600 = 0.6. Type both setups into the calculator and check that the cm/360 matches before you drop into a match.
Apex sensitivity in CS2, Valorant and Overwatch 2
Apex and CS2 both turn 0.022 degrees per count, Valorant turns 0.07 and Overwatch 2 turns 0.0066. So at the same DPI your Apex sensitivity carries straight over to CS2, you divide by about 3.18 for Valorant (multiply by 0.314), and you multiply by about 3.33 for Overwatch 2. The Same feel in other games list does this for you.
| Apex, CS2 | Valorant | OW2 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.314 | 3.333 |
| 1.2 | 0.377 | 4 |
| 1.4 | 0.44 | 4.667 |
| 1.5 | 0.471 | 5 |
| 2 | 0.629 | 6.667 |
Going the other way, multiply a Valorant sensitivity by about 3.18: Valorant 0.4 becomes 1.273 in Apex. The conversion matches the 360 distance only. Field of view and scoped sensitivity work differently in each game, so a converted value can still look a little faster or slower on screen. For two games at once, or a DPI change at the same time, use the mouse sensitivity converter. Each game also has its own page: Valorant sensitivity and eDPI, CS2 sensitivity and eDPI and Overwatch 2 sensitivity and eDPI.
ADS multiplier, FOV and other settings eDPI leaves out
Your Apex eDPI describes hip fire turning speed only. These settings change how aiming feels without changing the number:
- ADS Mouse Sensitivity Multiplier. It scales your speed while aiming down sights. EA suggests 1.0 as a starting point, and 36 of the 44 pros on the ProSettings.net list who show the value keep it at 1.0. Apex can also set ADS speed for each optic separately; the calculator assumes the multipliers are at 1.0.
- Field of view. EA suggests trying 90 to 110 and says 110 is a common choice for competitive players. On the ProSettings.net list 43 of 70 players who list it use 110. A wider FOV makes the picture seem to move faster even though your cm/360 is unchanged.
- Mouse Acceleration. EA recommends turning it off, so the same hand movement always turns you the same distance.
- Polling rate. How often the mouse reports affects smoothness and latency, not sensitivity. 47 of the 55 pros who list it use 1000 Hz. Check yours with the polling rate test.
- The real DPI of your mouse. If the sensor sends 850 counts per inch instead of 800, your true eDPI is about 6% higher than the calculator shows.
Choosing your own Apex Legends sensitivity
Apex asks a lot of a sensitivity: long tracking fights against legends who slide, jump and grapple, followed by fast turns when another squad arrives. Find a value that does both, then stop changing it.
- Set your DPI once and leave it. 800 is the most common choice among pros.
- Start near 1,000 to 1,200 eDPI, for example 1.2 to 1.5 at 800 DPI, with the ADS multiplier at 1.0.
- Go to the Firing Range, which EA also recommends for testing. Track the moving dummies with an automatic weapon. If you keep overshooting, lower Mouse Sensitivity by about 0.1 at 800 DPI.
- If you cannot turn 180 degrees in one comfortable sweep, or you run out of pad while tracking, raise it by the same step.
- Keep each setting for several sessions. Changing it every day stops muscle memory from forming.
Our aim trainer is a quick way to compare two sensitivities outside the game: run the same drill at each value and see whether you hit more targets or only got slower. If you want to know how fast you react before blaming your settings, try the reaction time test.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my eDPI in Apex Legends?
Multiply your mouse DPI by your Apex Mouse Sensitivity. 800 DPI at 1.5 is 1,200 eDPI, and 1600 DPI at 0.7 is 1,120 eDPI. Use the value from Settings, Mouse/Keyboard, not the ADS multiplier.
What is a good eDPI for Apex Legends?
Most mouse players do well somewhere around 900 to 1,400. On the ProSettings.net list, the median of 55 pros is 1,120 eDPI and the middle half sit between 960 and 1,200. Choose the value that lets you track smoothly and still turn far enough on your mouse pad.
Is 1,600 eDPI too high for Apex?
Not necessarily. 1,600 eDPI (800 DPI at 2) is faster than most pros, with a 360 distance of 26 cm, but it can work well for wrist aimers on a small pad. Only 4 of the 55 pros we counted go above 1,600.
Are Apex and CS2 sensitivity the same?
Yes, for hip fire. Both games turn 0.022 degrees per mouse count at sensitivity 1, so the same sensitivity and DPI give the same eDPI and the same cm/360. Scoped and ADS settings still work differently in each game.
How do I convert Valorant sensitivity to Apex?
Multiply your Valorant sensitivity by about 3.18 at the same DPI. Valorant 0.4 becomes 1.273 in Apex, and 0.3 becomes about 0.955. The calculator shows the exact value when you select Valorant and type your sensitivity.
Does the ADS multiplier change my eDPI?
No. eDPI uses your hip fire Mouse Sensitivity only. The ADS Mouse Sensitivity Multiplier only changes your speed while aiming down sights, and 1.0 is the most common choice among pros.
Is my data saved?
Yes, on your device only. The calculator stores your last game, DPI and sensitivity in your browser’s local storage, and nothing is sent to a server.
