About the sensitivity converter

Every first-person shooter turns mouse movement into camera rotation at its own rate, called the yaw. Counter-Strike rotates 0.022 degrees per mouse count; VALORANT rotates 0.07. Multiply that by your DPI and your in-game sensitivity and you get degrees per centimetre of mousepad — which is the number that actually transfers between games.

Because yaw values differ, the same "1.0 sensitivity" is wildly faster in one game than another. This converter keeps your cm/360 identical across the whole list, which is exactly what your muscle memory needs when you switch titles.

The formulas

Degrees per mouse count = yaw × in-game sensitivity
cm/360° = (360 × 2.54) ÷ (degrees per count × DPI)
Equivalent sensitivity = degrees per count ÷ target game's yaw
eDPI = DPI × in-game sensitivity (only comparable inside the same game)

Yaw values used

Degrees rotated per mouse count in each supported game
Game	Yaw per count
Roblox	0.39783
Rust	0.11247
VALORANT	0.07
Deadlock	0.044
Counter-Strike, Apex, Source engine	0.022
Marvel Rivals	0.0175
Overwatch 2, Call of Duty, Warzone	0.0066
Rainbow Six Siege	0.00572958
Fortnite	0.005555
The Finals	0.001
Battlefield 6	0.00173623 × sens + 0.00231498

Battlefield 6 applies a small constant term as well as a slope, so its sensitivity curve does not pass through zero. The converter allows for that.

Typical cm/360 ranges

Common sensitivity ranges by genre
Style	cm/360°	Who it suits
Very high	under 20 cm	Wrist aiming, extreme close-quarters
High	20 – 30 cm	Fast movement shooters, some pros
Medium	30 – 45 cm	The most common range in tactical shooters
Low	45 – 60 cm	Arm aiming, precision headshots
Very low	over 60 cm	Large desk, heavy arm aimers and pros

Worked examples

800 DPI at 1.0 in Counter-Strike is 0.022 degrees per count, so 914.4 ÷ (0.022 × 800) = 52.0 cm for a full turn.
The same feel in VALORANT needs 0.022 ÷ 0.07 = 0.314 sensitivity.
Doubling DPI halves the sensitivity you need: 1600 DPI at 0.5 in CS2 matches 800 DPI at 1.0.
An eDPI of 800 can mean 800 DPI at 1.0, or 1600 DPI at 0.5 — the same rotation, different mouse behaviour.

Frequently asked questions

Should I copy a pro's eDPI?

Copy the cm/360 range if you want a starting point, but keep your own DPI. The same rotation speed is achieved by many DPI and sensitivity pairs, and forcing an unfamiliar DPI changes how the cursor feels on the desktop.

Does the cm/360 stay the same through a scope?

No. Scoped and ADS sensitivities are set separately in every game, so match the hipfire figure first and then tune the scope multiplier to taste.

Why does my mouse software DPI matter?

The DPI setting decides how many counts the mouse reports per inch of movement. Higher DPI with lower sensitivity and lower DPI with higher sensitivity rotate you the same amount, but the higher DPI setting can feel smoother because the game receives more, smaller updates.

Is DPI the same as CPI?

In practice yes. CPI — counts per inch — is the accurate term, but every gaming mouse and every game menu says DPI.

Common mistakes to avoid

Comparing eDPI across different games. It only means anything inside one title.
Changing sensitivity and DPI at the same time. Move one, then test.
Forgetting that mouse acceleration must be off, or the conversions stop being meaningful.
Ignoring the differences in field of view between games, which changes how the same cm/360 feels.

eDPI calculator

eDPI (effective dots per inch) is mouse DPI multiplied by in-game sensitivity: eDPI = DPI × sensitivity. An 800 DPI mouse at 1.5 in-game sensitivity is 1,200 eDPI, the same as a 1,600 DPI mouse at 0.75. eDPI lets you compare settings across players and games without converting every value.

Common eDPI combinations
DPI	Sensitivity	eDPI
400	2.0	800
800	1.0	800
800	1.5	1,200
1600	1.0	1,600
3200	0.5	1,600

eDPI is only comparable within one game: the same eDPI in CS2 and Valorant does not give the same turn distance, because the two games apply different yaw constants. Use the converter above for the cross-game factor.
