Improvement to Mouse DPI/CPI Definition
[edit]The sentence “The CPI or DPI as reported by manufacturers depends on how they make the mouse; the higher the CPI, the faster the cursor moves with mouse movement.” is currently uncited and technically unclear.
I propose replacing it with a more precise, neutral wording:
“The CPI or DPI reported by manufacturers reflects how many counts the sensor outputs for each inch of movement; a higher value increases the distance the cursor travels for the same physical motion.” [1]
This improves the accuracy of the explanation and adds an appropriate technical reference. Please comment if there are objections. Umairaalam (talk) 10:50, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
