CS2 Sensitivity Converter

Convert your mouse sensitivity seamlessly between Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, Apex Legends, Overwatch 2, and other popular FPS titles. This tool calculates equivalent sensitivity values so you can maintain consistent aim mechanics across multiple games. Whether you're switching from CS2 to Valorant for ranked play or want to practice in different titles, accurate sensitivity conversion is essential for muscle memory retention.

Understanding Mouse Sensitivity in FPS Games

Mouse sensitivity is one of the most personal and crucial settings for competitive FPS players. According to research published on PubMed Central, consistent motor patterns (like mouse movements) significantly improve performance in reaction-based tasks. This is why maintaining the same "feel" across different games matters for competitive players.

What is eDPI (Effective DPI)?

eDPI, or Effective DPI, is calculated by multiplying your mouse's DPI setting by your in-game sensitivity. This standardized metric allows direct comparison between players regardless of their individual DPI/sensitivity combinations. For example:

• 400 DPI × 2.0 sensitivity = 800 eDPI
• 800 DPI × 1.0 sensitivity = 800 eDPI
• 1600 DPI × 0.5 sensitivity = 800 eDPI

All three examples would feel identical in-game. The PC Gamer guide on DPI explains that higher DPI settings can provide smoother cursor movement, but the actual aiming feel is determined by eDPI.

Why cm/360 Matters

The cm/360 measurement indicates how many centimeters of mouse movement are required to complete a full 360-degree rotation in-game. This physical distance measurement is the most accurate way to compare sensitivity across different games because it accounts for each game's unique sensitivity scaling.

According to the Mouse Sensitivity blog, professional FPS players typically fall within these ranges:

• Very Low (60+ cm/360): Extremely precise aiming, favored by some AWPers and tactical shooters
• Low (35-60 cm/360): Most common among CS2/Valorant professionals - balances precision with flexibility
• Medium (20-35 cm/360): More versatile, common in faster-paced games like Apex Legends
• High (<20 cm/360): Fast movements but reduced precision, more common in arcade shooters

Game-Specific Sensitivity Multipliers

Each game uses a different internal sensitivity scale. This converter uses the following standardized yaw values (degrees per count at 1.0 sensitivity):

Game	Yaw Value	Notes
Counter-Strike 2	0.022	Standard Source engine value
Valorant	0.07	~3.18× CS2 sensitivity
Apex Legends	0.022	Same as CS2/Source
Overwatch 2	0.0066	~0.3× CS2 sensitivity
Fortnite	0.5555	Percentage-based (5.5% = 1.0 CS2)
Rainbow Six Siege	0.00223	Uses different base calculation

Transitioning Between Games

When switching between titles like CS2 and Valorant, maintaining consistent sensitivity helps preserve muscle memory. However, some players intentionally adjust sensitivity based on game mechanics:

• Tactical Shooters (CS2, Valorant): Lower sensitivity for precise crosshair placement
• Battle Royales (Apex, PUBG): Slightly higher for tracking and quick target acquisition
• Arena Shooters (Overwatch, Quake): Higher sensitivity for fast 180s and vertical aiming

For Taiwan's competitive scene, many players from our Discord communities report using the same cm/360 across games to maintain consistency during scrimmages and ranked play.
