Before you buy that new mouse, it is very important you know something about the mouse.

That is your mouse DPI (that is Dots-Per-Inch).

According to howtogeek.com, Dots per inch (DPI) is a measurement of how sensitive a mouse is.

The higher a mouse's DPI, the farther the cursor on your screen will move when you move the mouse.

A mouse with a higher DPI setting detects and reacts to smaller movements.

So, depending on what you plan to use the mouse for, you might want to check your mouse DPI and make sure it will meet your needs.

For example, if you are a gamer and plan to use the mouse to play games, you should go with a mouse with high DPI (+higher sensitivity)

Now, the question is how can I check my mouse DPI?

Actually, there are several ways to check your mouse DPI.

1. Check The Mouse Package

Your mouse comes with a package, right?

Check the package to see if it is written on it or not.

If yes, good for you. If no, move to the next method.

2. Check The Mouse Description Page

You probably know the name of the mouse you want to buy already.

If no, find it out.

Now, you want to search for the mouse on Google and check the sales/description page on websites like Amazon, eBay e.t.c.

A lot of them include the mouse DPI on the description page like what you can see in the screenshot below.

If you cannot find it, no problem.

There are two more technical ways to check your mouse DPI.
