About 🎮 Game Sensitivity Converter

Welcome to the Game Sensitivity Converter, a free online tool that converts mouse sensitivity settings between popular FPS (first-person shooter) games. Whether you are switching from CS2 to Valorant, trying Overwatch 2 after playing Apex Legends, or exploring a new game, this converter ensures your muscle memory transfers seamlessly by calculating the exact equivalent sensitivity.

What is Sensitivity Conversion?

Every FPS game uses a different internal scale for mouse sensitivity. A sensitivity of 2.0 in CS2 feels completely different from 2.0 in Valorant or Overwatch. This is because each game engine processes mouse input using a different yaw value — the number of degrees the camera rotates per mouse count at sensitivity 1.0.

Sensitivity conversion translates your settings from one game's scale to another by using the universal cm/360° metric: the physical distance (in centimeters) your mouse must travel to complete a full 360-degree in-game turn.

The Conversion Formula

The core formula uses yaw ratios:

Target Sensitivity = Source Sensitivity × (Source Yaw ÷ Target Yaw)

The cm/360° is calculated as:

cm/360° = (2.54 × 360) ÷ (DPI × Sensitivity × Yaw)

Supported Games and Yaw Values

Understanding cm/360°

cm/360° is the gold standard for comparing sensitivity across games. It measures the real-world distance your mouse moves for one full rotation in-game. Here is a general guide:

• Below 15 cm: Very high sensitivity — wrist aiming, minimal mouse movement
• 15-25 cm: High sensitivity — wrist/arm hybrid, good for tracking
• 25-35 cm: Medium sensitivity — balanced, versatile
• 35-50 cm: Low sensitivity — arm aiming, precise flicks, most common among pros
• Above 50 cm: Very low sensitivity — full arm movement, maximum precision

What is eDPI?

eDPI (effective DPI) = Mouse DPI × In-game Sensitivity. It normalizes sensitivity comparisons between players using different DPI settings within the same game. Two players with eDPI 800 in CS2 (one using 400 DPI × 2.0 sens, another using 800 DPI × 1.0 sens) will have identical aim speed. For cross-game comparison, always use cm/360° instead.

How to Use This Converter

1. Select your source game: Choose the FPS game you currently play from the dropdown.
2. Enter your sensitivity: Input your in-game sensitivity setting. You can also click a pro player preset to auto-fill values.
3. Enter your mouse DPI: Type your mouse DPI. Common values are 400, 800, 1200, or 1600. Check your mouse software if unsure.
4. Click Convert: Press the "Convert Sensitivity" button.
5. Read the results: Review your cm/360° value, sensitivity category, and equivalent sensitivity for all 12 supported games.

Tips for Choosing Your Sensitivity

• Consistency is key: Use the same cm/360° across all games to maintain muscle memory
• Start with pro averages: Most tactical FPS pros use 25-55 cm/360° — start in this range and adjust
• Large mousepad: If you prefer low sensitivity, ensure you have at least a 40 cm × 30 cm mousepad
• DPI does not matter (much): 400 DPI at sens 2.0 and 800 DPI at sens 1.0 produce the same result — pick what feels smooth
• Disable mouse acceleration: Turn off "Enhance Pointer Precision" in Windows and any in-game acceleration for 1:1 input

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cm/360 in gaming?

cm/360 (centimeters per 360 degrees) measures the physical distance your mouse must travel to complete a full 360-degree turn in-game. It is the universal metric for comparing sensitivity across different FPS games, regardless of their internal sensitivity scales.

How do I convert my CS2 sensitivity to Valorant?

To convert CS2 sensitivity to Valorant, multiply your CS2 sensitivity by the yaw ratio: CS2 yaw (0.022) divided by Valorant yaw (0.07). The formula is: Valorant sens = CS2 sens × 0.022 / 0.07. For example, CS2 sensitivity 2.0 equals approximately 0.629 in Valorant.

What DPI should I use for FPS games?

Most FPS pros use 400 or 800 DPI. Lower DPI with higher in-game sensitivity gives more consistent tracking. The important metric is your eDPI (DPI × sensitivity) or cm/360°, not DPI alone. Common pro cm/360° values range from 25 to 55 cm.

What sensitivity do pro players use?

Pro player sensitivities vary, but most tactical FPS pros (CS2, Valorant) use 25-55 cm/360°. CS2 pros like s1mple use around 3.09 at 400 DPI (about 42 cm/360°). Valorant pros like TenZ use 0.4 at 800 DPI (about 40.6 cm/360°). Arena shooters and tracking-heavy games tend toward slightly higher sensitivity.

What is eDPI and why does it matter?

eDPI (effective DPI) equals your mouse DPI multiplied by your in-game sensitivity. It normalizes sensitivity comparison within the same game. Two players with different DPI but the same eDPI will have identical aim speed. For cross-game comparison, use cm/360° instead.
