Call of Duty eDPI Calculator
How to use it: Call of Duty is already selected on this page and the sensitivity box starts at 5. Type your mouse DPI (or tap 400, 800, 1600 or 3200), then your Call of Duty Mouse Sensitivity. Your eDPI appears in the first tile straight away and is saved in this browser.
This Call of Duty eDPI calculator multiplies your mouse DPI by your in-game Mouse Sensitivity, so 800 DPI at a sensitivity of 5 gives 4,000 eDPI. Use it for Warzone, Black Ops or Modern Warfare to compare your setup with other players, copy a pro’s speed, or keep the same aim after you change mouse or DPI.
eDPI, short for effective DPI, is the number that describes your real aiming speed. 400 DPI at 8 and 800 DPI at 4 are both 3,200 eDPI, and both turn your operator the same distance for the same hand movement. Comparing sensitivity alone tells you very little, because it depends on the DPI behind it.
How to use the Call of Duty eDPI calculator
- Check that the Call of Duty button is highlighted in the game row. It is selected for you on this page, and the sensitivity box starts at 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 Call of Duty sensitivity into In-game sensitivity exactly as the game shows it, for example 4.5 or 6.25.
- Read the first tile. That is your Call of Duty eDPI, and it updates as you type.
The cm / 360° and in / 360° tiles stay on a dash for Call of Duty, and the Same feel in other games list does not appear. That is deliberate, and the section on 360 distance below explains why and how to get those numbers anyway.
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 5 while your DPI is kept, so type your sensitivity in again before you compare.
How to calculate eDPI in Call of Duty
Call of Duty eDPI is your mouse DPI multiplied by your Mouse Sensitivity:
Call of Duty eDPI = DPI x mouse sensitivity
So 800 DPI at 4 is 3,200 eDPI, 800 DPI at 6 is 4,800, and 1600 DPI at 2.5 is 4,000. ProSettings.net used the same sum in its Warzone settings guide for shroud, who played at 450 DPI and 7.50 sensitivity when the guide was written. That works out at 3,375 eDPI. For the idea behind the number, read eDPI explained.
These are the values the calculator returns for some common setups.
| DPI | Sensitivity | eDPI |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | 8 | 3,200 |
| 400 | 10 | 4,000 |
| 450 | 7.5 | 3,375 |
| 800 | 4 | 3,200 |
| 800 | 5 | 4,000 |
| 800 | 6 | 4,800 |
| 1600 | 2.5 | 4,000 |
| 1600 | 4 | 6,400 |
The tool shows one decimal place for larger results and two below 100, with commas for thousands. 800 DPI at 4.37, for example, shows as 3,496.
Where to find your sensitivity and DPI
Your sensitivity lives in the game, your DPI lives on the mouse.
- In Call of Duty, open Settings and go to the keyboard and mouse settings.
- Find Mouse Sensitivity. That is the number to type into the calculator.
- Leave the ADS settings for now. They change your speed while aiming down sights and do not change your base eDPI (see below).
Your DPI is set in the mouse’s own software or with a button on the mouse. Many mice switch DPI stages with one press, so it is easy to change it by accident, and the real value the sensor sends can differ a little from the number on the box. If you are not sure, measure it with the mouse DPI analyzer before you trust the result.
Why there is no 360 distance or conversion here
The calculator shows Call of Duty eDPI only, because the series has changed its sensitivity scale between titles over the years. One number cannot honestly cover every game in the series, so the tool does not guess.
For the recent games there is a reliable figure. The sensitivity database CSDB lists Modern Warfare III, Warzone and Black Ops 6 at 0.0066 degrees per mouse count at sensitivity 1. Overwatch 2 uses the same 0.0066, and CSDB converts CS2 1.5 at 800 DPI into exactly 5.000 in all four games. Black Ops 7 is not in CSDB’s list at the time of writing, so check a newer title before you rely on this.
If you play one of those three, the maths for a full turn is:
inches per 360 = 360 / (0.0066 x eDPI), and cm = inches x 2.54
That is roughly 138,545 divided by your eDPI for centimetres.
| eDPI | cm/360 | in/360 |
|---|---|---|
| 2,400 | 57.7 | 22.7 |
| 3,200 | 43.3 | 17 |
| 4,000 | 34.6 | 13.6 |
| 4,800 | 28.9 | 11.4 |
| 6,400 | 21.6 | 8.5 |
Because the scale matches, our Overwatch 2 eDPI calculator gives the same cm/360 and cross-game values for these Call of Duty titles. Type your Call of Duty DPI and sensitivity there and read the 360 distance and the Same feel in other games list.
What is a good eDPI for Call of Duty?
A good Call of Duty eDPI lets you turn fast enough to deal with someone behind you and still hold steady on a target at range. For many mouse players that sits around 2,500 to 5,000 eDPI, which is roughly 55 to 28 cm per 360 in the recent titles. Fast close-range players often go higher, and players who fight at long range in Warzone often go lower.
There is no big public dataset of Call of Duty pros like there is for Valorant or CS2. ProSettings.net lists 14 Warzone players, mostly content creators, and six of their profiles show a Warzone DPI and sensitivity. We read them on 25 October 2026 and worked out each eDPI as DPI x sensitivity:
| Player | DPI x sens | eDPI |
|---|---|---|
| Symfuhny | 800 x 6 | 4,800 |
| Viss | 400 x 8.8 | 3,520 |
| TimTheTatman | 800 x 3.93 | 3,144 |
| Bbreadman | 800 x 3.87 | 3,096 |
| DrDisRespect | 400 x 5.25 | 2,100 |
| HusKerrs | 800 x 1.2 | 960 |
Five of the six sit between 2,100 and 4,800, with a median of 3,120 across all six. HusKerrs is far below the rest. The profiles were last updated at different times, between December 2022 and February 2026, across different Call of Duty games, so treat this as a handful of examples rather than a benchmark.
Pro numbers are a reference, not a target. If you aim mostly with your wrist on a small pad, a slightly higher eDPI may simply be easier to live with.
Changing DPI without changing your Call of Duty aim
When you change DPI, change the sensitivity by the opposite factor and your eDPI stays the same. Every row in this table is 4,000 eDPI.
| DPI | Sensitivity | eDPI |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | 10 | 4,000 |
| 800 | 5 | 4,000 |
| 1600 | 2.5 | 4,000 |
| 3200 | 1.25 | 4,000 |
The rule is new sensitivity = old eDPI / new DPI. Moving from 800 DPI at 4.5 (3,600 eDPI) to 1600 DPI gives 3,600 / 1600 = 2.25. Type both setups into the calculator and check that the eDPI matches before you drop in. Higher DPI does not make your aim better on its own, because the game turns the same amount for the same eDPI.
ADS sensitivity, multipliers and what eDPI leaves out
Your Call of Duty eDPI describes hip fire and normal looking around only. These settings change how aiming feels without changing the number:
- ADS Sensitivity Mode. ProSettings.net lists two modes in its Warzone profiles, Relative and Legacy. Four of the six players above use Relative and two use Legacy, and the ProSettings.net guide recommends Relative if you are new to PC.
- ADS sensitivity multipliers and Custom Sensitivity Per Zoom. These scale your speed while aiming down sights, for all optics or per zoom level. All six profiles above have Custom Sensitivity Per Zoom off.
- Vertical Sensitivity Multiplier. A value below 1 makes up and down movement slower than side to side. Bbreadman uses 0.85 and Symfuhny 0.9, the others use 1. eDPI only describes horizontal speed.
- Acceleration, filtering and smoothing. The ProSettings.net guide calls all three a no for mouse aim, and the profiles that list them show 0. Any of them makes the same eDPI feel different from one flick to the next.
- Field of view. A wider FOV makes the picture seem to move faster even though your turn distance is unchanged.
- 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.
Polling rate is separate again: it affects smoothness and latency, not speed. Check yours with the polling rate test.
Choosing your own Call of Duty sensitivity
Call of Duty has a fast time to kill, quick movement and a lot of close fights, so you need to turn quickly without losing precision at range. Find one value that works and then stop changing it.
- Set your DPI once and leave it. 800 and 400 are the only values in the profiles above.
- Start near 3,200 to 4,000 eDPI, for example 4 to 5 at 800 DPI.
- In the Firing Range or a private match, flick between two targets and track a moving one. If you keep overshooting, lower your sensitivity by about 0.25 at 800 DPI.
- If you cannot turn 180 degrees in one comfortable sweep, or you run out of pad during a fight, 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 rule out slow reactions first, try the reaction time test.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my eDPI in Call of Duty?
Multiply your mouse DPI by your in-game Mouse Sensitivity. 800 DPI at 5 is 4,000 eDPI, and 1600 DPI at 2.5 is also 4,000. Use your normal sensitivity, not an ADS value.
What is a good eDPI for Warzone?
Many mouse players do well somewhere around 2,500 to 5,000. Five of the six Warzone players with full settings on ProSettings.net sit between 2,100 and 4,800 eDPI. Choose the value that lets you win close fights and still hold steady at range.
What is 800 DPI at 5 sensitivity in Call of Duty?
It is 4,000 eDPI. In Modern Warfare III, Warzone and Black Ops 6, which CSDB lists at 0.0066 degrees per count, that is a full turn every 34.6 cm (13.6 inches) of mouse movement.
Is 400 or 800 DPI better for Call of Duty?
Neither gives better aim by itself. 400 DPI at 10 and 800 DPI at 5 are the same 4,000 eDPI and turn the same distance. Pick the DPI that feels right on your desktop and set the in-game sensitivity to reach the eDPI you want.
Does ADS sensitivity change my eDPI?
No. eDPI uses your normal Mouse Sensitivity only. ADS multipliers and per-zoom settings change your speed while aiming down sights, so they are tuned separately.
Can I convert my Call of Duty sensitivity to Valorant or CS2?
For Modern Warfare III, Warzone and Black Ops 6, yes. They share Overwatch 2’s 0.0066 scale, so the Overwatch 2 eDPI calculator gives the matching CS2 and Valorant values. Call of Duty 5 equals CS2 1.5 and Valorant about 0.471 at the same DPI. For other titles, measure your cm/360 in game first.
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.
