You don’t have to keep the measurement that way up - for example car fuel economy in europe is measured in litres/100km which is flipped compared to miles/gallon, and arguably easier to compare.
So 400 dpi = pixel size 63 micrometre for example.

Millimeters?
mm⁻¹ would be unintuitive since that kind of micro adjustments are uncommon in my opinion.
It already exists, and you may know it as Diopter
D/cm
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.”
I’ve been using cm/360 for awhile now.

Weren’t it DPS as in Dots-per-sm?

I have considered “/cm”, “pcm” (per centimeter) and “cpcm” (counts per centimeter), but they doesn’t look right in my opinion.

Im confused, why would “dots per inch” become “per cm” instead of “dots per cm”?
