Convert mouse sensitivity between different games for consistent aim
Maintaining consistent aim across different FPS games requires converting your mouse sensitivity settings. Each game uses different sensitivity scales and multipliers, making direct comparison difficult. This calculator uses cm/360 (centimeters per 360-degree turn) as the universal measurement to ensure your muscle memory transfers perfectly between games.
| Game | Sensitivity Scale | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| CS:GO / CS2 | 1.0x (Base) | Industry standard reference |
| Valorant | 3.18x | Higher sensitivity values |
| Apex Legends | 1.0x | Same scale as CS:GO |
| Overwatch 2 | 3.33x | Unique sensitivity system |
| Call of Duty | 1.0x | Standard scale |
| Fortnite | 2.22x | Building mode compatible |
| Rainbow Six Siege | 0.02x | Very low sensitivity values |
| PUBG | 1.0x | Standard scale |
The physical distance your mouse travels to complete a full 360-degree turn in-game. This is the most reliable way to compare sensitivity across games. Lower values mean higher sensitivity (faster turns), while higher values mean lower sensitivity (more precise aim).
Your mouse DPI multiplied by in-game sensitivity. This gives a single number representing your effective sensitivity. Professional players typically use eDPI values between 200-800 for tactical shooters and 800-1600 for fast-paced games.
Dots Per Inch - the hardware sensitivity of your mouse. Common values are 400, 800, 1600, and 3200. Most professional players use 400 or 800 DPI for better precision and consistency.
Start with your main game: Use the sensitivity you're most comfortable with in your primary game as the baseline. This ensures your muscle memory is preserved when switching games.
Test the conversion: After converting, spend time in aim trainers or practice modes to verify the feel matches. Small adjustments of ±5-10% are normal as you fine-tune for each game's unique mechanics.
Consider game-specific factors: Fast-paced games like Apex Legends may benefit from slightly higher sensitivity for quick movements, while tactical shooters like Valorant reward lower sensitivity for precise headshots.
Maintain consistency: Once you find settings that work, stick with them. Constantly changing sensitivity prevents muscle memory development and hurts long-term aim improvement.

The cm/360 remains identical, ensuring your muscle memory transfers perfectly. The sensitivity number changes due to Valorant's different sensitivity scale, but the physical mouse movement required for the same in-game turn stays consistent.
