Average Sensitivity Settings by Region
Asian players (2) maintained the highest average eDPI value, followed by: South American players (6), CIS players (25), North American players (5), and at the bottom of the list as well as the largest demographic, European players (54). The full chart, ranked by eDPI value, from highest to lowest:
1. Asia (μ 1,165.5)
2. South America (μ 954.8)
3. CIS (μ 825.6)
4. North America (μ 812.8)
5. Europe (μ 780.6)
The chart is rather inflated; I would not suggest using that for any reason beyond reader enjoyment. However, it is still a cool statistic to point out. Generally, the more players were researched in a specific region, the lower the average eDPI value turned out to be.

DPI, In-game Sensitivity, and eDPI Analysis
Most players prefer a Mouse DPI of either 400 or 800, with a sprinkle of 1600 users as well. In fact, only 9% of players use a Mouse DPI setting that isn’t either 400 or 800.
The average Mouse DPI of all players regardless of all other factors is roughly 586.
In detail:
- 64% of players use 400 Mouse DPI;
- 27% use 800;
- 6% use 1600;
- 1% use 810;
- 1% use 500 and
- 1% use 450 Mouse DPI.
Of the 64 players that use a Mouse DPI of 400, only 38% prefer an In-game sensitivity of 2.0 or higher. The full statistics are way more spread out:
- 400 Mouse DPI, Above 2.0 In-game Sensitivity: 20/64 (32%)
- 400 Mouse DPI, 2.0 In-game Sensitivity: 6/64 (9%)
- 400 Mouse DPI, Below 2.0 In-game Sensitivity: 38/64 (59%)
Comparatively, of the 27 players that use a Mouse DPI of 800, 92.5% (25/27) still prefer to use an In-game sensitivity of 1.0 or higher. Here’s the full statistics for that category:
- 800 Mouse DPI, Above 1.0 In-game Sensitivity: 17/27 (63%)
- 800 Mouse DPI, 1.0 In-game Sensitivity: 8/27 (29.5%)
- 800 Mouse DPI, Below 1.0 In-game Sensitivity: 2/27 (7.5%)
Of the 6 players that use a Mouse DPI of 1600, 100% use an In-game Sensitivity of below 1.0. The average In-game Sensitivity of 1600 Mouse DPI users is 0.69; the highest being syrsoN at 0.92, and lowest being VINI at 0.47.
The average In-game Sensitivity of all players regardless of Mouse DPI and all other factors is roughly 1.63; the highest being flameZ at 3.6, and lowest being VINI at 0.47.
The 3 players with the fastest eDPI settings are:
1.) FPX Farlig (1,712)
2.) FPX Maden (1,520)
3.) BIG syrsoN (1,472)
The 3 players with the slowest eDPI settings are:
98.) BIG tabseN (512)
99.) coL blameF (508)
100.) BIG k1to (480)

Additional Information
It may come as a surprise, but a lot of players actually share the exact same eDPI value. thirteen players have an adjusted eDPI value of 800; seven players with 880; two with 580; three with 640. There are a few more examples that we will not mention further.
Extremum and FaZe are the only two teams amongst the top 20 without any players using 1,000+ eDPI; every other team at least has one. Meanwhile, FURIA has the most players using 1,000+ eDPI value, four of its five players! (The outlier being VINI, who uses 752 eDPI). That’s twice as much as the second-most teams, FunPlus Phoenix, FPX, Mousesports, forZe, Vitality, and Na’Vi, who all have two.
AWPers have a higher average eDPI value, at 1,029, compared to non-awpers who have an average of 808 eDPI (a difference of 221).
The AWPer with the fastest eDPI setting is FunPlus Phoenix’s Farlig, who uses an astonishingly high 1,712; the AWPer with the slowest eDPI setting is ZywOo, at 720.
When “roughly” or a similar word is mentioned, it means that number was rounded up to the nearest whole number. The most “inaccurate” statistic is no bigger than a 0.5 offset.

Sensitivity Settings by Individual
Perfecto sensitivity: 800 DPI, 1.35 In-game sensitivity, adjusted to 1,080 eDPI .
One of the most consistent performers in CS:GO, s1mple’s In-game sensitivity is at 3.09 while his DPI is set to 400. His adjusted eDPI sits at a relatively high 1,236.
His Russian teammate electronic, though living in s1mple’s shadow, still acknowledged as one of the greatest riflers in the game, also uses a DPI of 400, but prefers a lower In-game sensitivity of 2.2, adjusting his eDPI to 880. As for the rest of the players:
