Yes, I know that calling it “mouse DPI” is technically incorrect.

    You don’t have to keep the measurement that way up - e.g. fuel economy in europe is litres/100km, which is flipped compared to miles/gallon.

    So 400dpi = 63μm for example.

      I never thought about this idea, but like it very much! It’s like with semiconductors where you got different nm-technologies.

    Decimeters are almost always superior to cm. Like in this case, dots per decimeter is basically “If you drag your mouse across your mousepad, how many ticks did it record.”
