I think you are dreaming about that converter because Cpi and Dpi is exactly the same thing, and steelseries will say the same

http://faq.steelseries.com/questions/100/Counts Per Inch? CPI? I haven't come across these expressions before, except for DPI (Dots Per Inch)?

yep thats what i was trying to get at, all posts on cpi are vague none of them specify if they are the same as dpi or not it.

CPI and DPI are the same thing. CPI was created because it better describes what DPI actually was. CPI and DPI are the exact same thing. Artyk linked you FAQ from steelseries that says exactly that...

Looks like the calculator you might be lookin for is embedded into one of the product guides:

http://steelseries.com/products/mice/steelseries-xai-laser
Look on the specs page under the "true sensitivity" section, you can plug in your numbers and get your "true sensitivity".

DPI and CPI are exactly the same thing.

1000DPI/CPI means that if you move the mouse 1 inch your cursor will move 1000 pixels.

The sens thing only applies to first person shooter engines, etc.
