How to Use This Tool
- Select your source game and enter your current sensitivity
- Enter your mouse DPI (use our DPI Analyzer if you don't know it)
- Select the target game you want to convert to
- Click "Convert" to calculate the equivalent sensitivity
Note: For the most accurate results, make sure your mouse DPI is correct.

This sensitivity will give you the same 360° rotation distance as your source game.
Why Convert Mouse Sensitivity Between Games?
Different games use different sensitivity scales and calculations. A sensitivity of 2.0 in CS:GO feels completely different from a 2.0 in Valorant or Fortnite. Converting your sensitivity ensures consistent muscle memory and aim across all the games you play.
How Our Sensitivity Converter Works
Our converter uses the 360° rotation method, which calculates how far you need to move your mouse to perform a complete 360-degree turn in-game. By matching this distance across games, we ensure your aim feels consistent regardless of which game you're playing.
The basic formula is:
Target Sensitivity = Source Sensitivity × (Source Game Coefficient ÷ Target Game Coefficient)
When FOV is included in the calculation, we also account for how different field-of-view settings affect perceived sensitivity.

Tips for Finding Your Perfect Sensitivity
While our converter provides mathematically equivalent sensitivities, personal preference still plays a role. Here are some tips for fine-tuning your sensitivity:
- Start with the converted value as your baseline
- Make small adjustments (±5-10%) based on how it feels
- Practice with the new sensitivity for at least a few hours before making further changes
- Consider your available mouse space - limited space may require higher sensitivity
- Different games may benefit from slightly different sensitivities based on their pace and required precision
Understanding DPI and Sensitivity
Your effective sensitivity is a combination of your in-game sensitivity setting and your mouse's DPI (Dots Per Inch). This is often expressed as eDPI (Effective DPI):
eDPI = In-game Sensitivity × Mouse DPI
For example, a player using 2.0 sensitivity in CS:GO with a mouse set to 800 DPI has an eDPI of 1600.
When converting sensitivities, it's crucial to know your mouse DPI to ensure accurate results. If you don't know your DPI, use our DPI Analyzer tool to measure it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my converted sensitivity feel different?
While our converter provides mathematically equivalent sensitivities, other factors can affect how sensitivity feels across games, including:
- Different game engines and how they process mouse input
- Differences in movement mechanics and player models
- Variations in aim assist or input smoothing
- Frame rate differences affecting input responsiveness
You may need to make minor adjustments to the converted value to find what feels most comfortable.
Should I include FOV in my sensitivity calculations?
Including FOV can provide more accurate conversions for games with significantly different field-of-view settings. This is because FOV affects the perceived speed of your crosshair movement. However, many players prefer to use the standard 360° method without FOV adjustment, as it maintains consistent physical mouse movement distances.
What sensitivity do pro players use?
Professional players use a wide range of sensitivities based on their personal preference, playstyle, and role. However, most pros tend to use lower sensitivities than average players, particularly in tactical FPS games. For example:
- CS:GO pros typically use eDPI between 600-1200 (most around 800-880)
- Valorant pros typically use eDPI between 200-400 (most around 280)
- Overwatch pros vary more widely, with DPS players often using lower sensitivities than tank players
My game isn't listed. How can I convert my sensitivity?
For games not listed in our converter, you can use the cm/360° method. Measure how many centimeters of mouse movement it takes to do a 360° turn in your current game, then adjust the sensitivity in your new game until it takes the same distance to do a 360° turn.
