Go to https://www.mouse-sensitivity.com/dpianalyzer. This is a gaming-focused DPI analyzer that helps you determine your mouse's true sensitivity level (DPI).
Enter the distance you'll be moving your mouse. Let's say we want to test the DPI by moving the mouse one inch. Set the "Units" drop-down to "Inches" and type "1" into the "Target distance" field.
Click and drag the crosshair as you drag the mouse. You'll want to move the mouse exactly the distance you entered in the "Target distance" field. So, if you entered 1 inch, click and drag the mouse one inch to the right to measure the DPI. When you lift the mouse button, the DPI of your mouse will appear in the "Actual DPI" field.
If your mouse has a dedicated DPI button, you can use it to increase or decrease sensitivity. If your mouse has a built-in screen, you'll see the DPI as you make adjustments. If it doesn't, you may be able to install the mouse's software to view and adjust the DPI.
