Gamer Sensitivity & cm/360° Converter
Convert your mouse sensitivity between FPS games and get your exact cm/360.
Why cm/360 is the Universal Standard
In-game sensitivity numbers mean nothing on their own because every game uses a different "yaw" value (degrees the camera moves per mouse count). cm/360 measures the exact physical distance you must move your mouse on your mousepad to perform a full 360-degree turn. This allows you to perfectly replicate your muscle memory when switching games.
How the Conversion Math Works
This calculator uses the official, deterministic yaw values for each game to guarantee pixel-perfect accuracy:
- CS2 / Apex Legends: 0.022 degrees per count
- Valorant: 0.07 degrees per count
- Overwatch 2: 0.0066 degrees per count
- Fortnite: 0.000055 degrees per count
The formula is simple: Target Sens = Source Sens × (Source Yaw / Target Yaw). Your cm/360 remains exactly the same regardless of the game, as long as your DPI stays constant.
Pro Tips for Consistent Aim
- Stick to one DPI: 400 or 800 DPI are the gold standards for competitive FPS gaming. Changing your DPI changes your cm/360, ruining your muscle memory.
- Disable Mouse Acceleration: Always turn off "Enhance Pointer Precision" in Windows and ensure raw input is enabled in your game settings.
- Measure your mousepad: Ensure your mousepad is wide enough to comfortably accommodate your cm/360 distance for a full 360-degree turn.
Game-Specific Sensitivity Guides
Each competitive FPS game has its own sensitivity ecosystem. Understanding these differences is crucial for maintaining consistent aim across multiple titles:
Counter-Strike 2 (CS2)
CS2 uses a yaw value of 0.022, making it the baseline for most sensitivity conversions. Professional CS2 players typically use sensitivities between 0.5 and 2.0 at 400 DPI, resulting in cm/360 values between 25cm and 100cm.
Valorant
Valorant's yaw value of 0.07 means you need approximately 3.18 times less sensitivity than CS2 for the same cm/360. Most Valorant pros use sensitivities between 0.2 and 0.5 at 800 DPI.
Apex Legends
Apex shares the same yaw value as CS2 (0.022), making conversions between these games straightforward. However, Apex's faster movement speed means many players prefer slightly higher sensitivities.
Overwatch 2
Overwatch 2 uses a much smaller yaw value of 0.0066, requiring significantly higher sensitivity numbers. A 1.0 sensitivity in CS2 converts to approximately 3.33 in Overwatch 2.
Fortnite
Fortnite's unique yaw value of 0.000055 makes it the outlier. Building mechanics require different sensitivity considerations than pure aim-focused games.
Understanding DPI and eDPI
DPI (Dots Per Inch) measures your mouse sensor's sensitivity. eDPI (Effective DPI) is calculated by multiplying your in-game sensitivity by your DPI. For example, 1.0 sensitivity at 800 DPI equals 800 eDPI.
While eDPI is useful for comparing settings within the same game, cm/360 remains the only truly universal measurement across different games.
Common Sensitivity Mistakes to Avoid
- Changing DPI too often: Pick a DPI (400 or 800) and stick with it. Constant changes prevent muscle memory development.
- Copying pro settings blindly: Pro players' sensitivities are optimized for their specific setup and playstyle. Find what works for you.
- Ignoring mousepad size: Your cm/360 should allow comfortable 360-degree turns without running out of mousepad space.
- Forgetting about monitor resolution: Higher resolutions can affect perceived sensitivity, though cm/360 remains constant.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the best cm/360 for FPS games?
A: There is no single "best" cm/360. Most competitive players use between 25cm and 50cm for 360-degree turns. Lower values (25-35cm) favor quick flicks and close-range combat, while higher values (40-50cm) favor precision and long-range accuracy.
Q: Should I use 400 or 800 DPI?
A: Both are viable. 400 DPI was the historical standard and works well with modern sensors. 800 DPI provides smoother cursor movement and is preferred by many modern players. The key is consistency—pick one and stick with it.
Q: Why does my sensitivity feel different in different games even with the same cm/360?
A: Factors like field of view (FOV), hipfire vs. ADS sensitivity, and game-specific movement mechanics can affect perceived sensitivity even when cm/360 is identical.
Q: How often should I change my sensitivity?
A: Ideally, never. Muscle memory takes weeks to develop. Only adjust if you consistently miss shots in one direction or if your setup changes (new mouse, mousepad, etc.).
