Very nice and essential feature but practically it doesnt work that accurate as it should. For example ive got mouse with average 800dpi and while doing dpi test (all accel off, mouse pointer in the middle) even with this dpi maximum defined cm i can do before screen ends and measurement stops is just 4cm. So imagine how much human error is involved there when its all about such a small distance where every mm had a huge impact. I would say only smth like 10x times greater distance like 40cm might give representative picture for the test or atleast more reasonable numbers. Cause in my case results vary from 799 to 850 dpi even i try hard to move it like juvenile.

Good point, the human error is huge at those small distances. What I'll look into is adding an option to support Windows Pointer Speed, so you can artifically downsample the movement, and move up tp 32x with the same DPI. I don't think the downsampling should affect the result much, but I'll have to look into it.

Nice and useful little thing. The instructions however forgets to mention the windows sensitivity bar thingy. I had to test which one was the correct one and turns out it's the 6/11. Just thaught it could be helpful for others to know. Alhtough it would be an easy calculation to add into the calculator.

Windows - Multiplier

1/11 - 0.0625

2/11 - 0.125

3/11 - 0.25

4/11 - 0.5

5/11 - 0.75

6/11 - 1

7/11 - 1.5

8/11 - 2

9/11 - 2.5

10/11 - 3

11/11 - 3.5
