How to measure your mouse DPI

Mark your distance

Set two marks on your mousepad 10 cm apart, or enter a distance that fits your space. Line up the same point on the mouse with each mark. Keep the mouse facing forward throughout the sweep.

Capture and move

Capture the pointer, position the mouse at your first mark and start the pass. Move steadily to your second mark, then click or press Space to finish. Press Esc to cancel and release the pointer. Reposition before each new pass.

Read the estimate

The test divides horizontal movement by the distance you entered in inches. The browser can track movement, but it relies on your marks for physical distance. If the pass estimates vary, check your marks and repeat the test at a steady speed.

Choose a capture mode

Raw mode requests movement without pointer acceleration. It estimates mouse counts per inch, commonly called DPI. Adjusted mode includes the effects of your pointer settings, so compare adjusted results only when the setup is the same.
