DPI
dots per inch — as reported by the sensor
3 of the 48 listings in this catalog state it, in 3 distinct forms.
Mouse DPI
What the number is
How many steps the sensor reports per inch of movement. Higher is not a grade. It is a sensitivity figure that is adjusted to taste, and several listings here state how many settings exist without stating what any of them are.
How sellers write it
A flat figure, such as 2600 DPI
One stated value, with no range around it.
Up to a figure, such as up to 4000
A ceiling. The other settings below it are not stated.
A count of settings, such as 3 adjustable DPI settings
The number of steps, and not one of their values. Several mice here are described this way and appear in no table on this page.
No figure at all
Most mice in this catalog state nothing about DPI, which is its own kind of answer.
What the figure does not promise
- That a higher figure is more accurate.
- That two sellers measured the sensor the same way.
- That a stated ceiling is the setting the mouse arrives on.
- That a count of settings tells you what any setting is.
The 3 listings that state it
Values are reproduced exactly as each listing writes them, including the qualifiers. Lining them up in one column is not the same as making them comparable.

|---|---|
