Yes, I know that calling it “mouse DPI” is technically incorrect.
It already exists, and you may know it as Diopter
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
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.
D/cm
I’ve been using cm/360 for awhile now.
My laser cutter software has DPI and line spacing. E.g. 0.1mm is 254 DPI.
Millimeters?
mm⁻¹ would be unintuitive since that kind of micro adjustments are uncommon in my opinion.
