Yes, I know that calling it “mouse DPI” is technically incorrect.
- It already exists, and you may know it as Diopter 
- 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. 
 
- My laser cutter software has DPI and line spacing. E.g. 0.1mm is 254 DPI. 
- 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.” 
- Weren’t it DPC as in Dots-per-cm? - This is actually a good idea. I have considered “/cm”, “pcm” (per centimeter) and “cpcm” (counts per centimeter), but they don’t look right in my opinion. - Im confused, why would “dots per inch” become “per cm” instead of “dots per cm”? - Dots are spiritually unmetric - They’re spiritually undimensional 
 
 
 
 
- I’ve been using cm/360 for awhile now.
