Understanding the Mouse Sensitivity Converter: Your Complete Guide

Introduction

The Mouse Sensitivity Converter is an essential tool for gamers who play multiple FPS (First-Person Shooter) games and want to maintain consistent aim across different titles. Whether you're switching from Counter-Strike 2 to Valorant, or from Apex Legends to Overwatch 2, this tool ensures your muscle memory remains intact by accurately converting your mouse sensitivity settings between games.

The Science Behind Sensitivity Conversion

Understanding Game Yaw Values

Every FPS game has its own internal yaw multiplier, which determines how much your character's view rotates when you move your mouse. This value is crucial because it represents the game's internal calculation for converting mouse input to camera rotation. For example:

• Counter-Strike 2: 0.022 yaw multiplier
• Valorant: 0.07 yaw multiplier
• Apex Legends: 0.022 yaw multiplier
• Overwatch 2: 0.0066 yaw multiplier

These different values mean that a sensitivity setting of "1.0" in one game feels completely different in another, even with the same mouse and DPI settings.

The Universal Language: cm/360 and in/360

To solve this problem, our converter uses universal measurements that transcend game-specific settings:

• cm/360°: The physical distance your mouse travels to complete a full 360-degree rotation in-game
• in/360°: The same measurement in inches

These measurements are hardware-independent and provide a consistent baseline for comparison across all games.

Technical Calculation Process

Step 1: Calculate Universal Metrics

First, the converter calculates your current physical sensitivity using the formula:

inches/360° = 360 ÷ (sensitivity × yawMultiplier) ÷ DPI
cm/360° = inches/360° × 2.54

This gives us the exact physical distance your mouse needs to move for a full rotation, regardless of the game or settings.

Step 2: Convert to Target Game

Once we have your physical sensitivity, we can reverse-calculate the equivalent sensitivity for the target game:

target_sensitivity = 360 ÷ (inches/360° × target_yawMultiplier × DPI)

Step 3: Account for DPI Changes

If you're switching to a mouse with different DPI settings, the converter automatically adjusts the calculation to maintain the same physical sensitivity:

adjusted_sensitivity = current_sensitivity × (current_DPI ÷ target_DPI)

Understanding eDPI (Effective DPI)

eDPI, or Effective DPI, is another important metric that combines your mouse's DPI with your in-game sensitivity:

eDPI = DPI × sensitivity

This single number represents your overall sensitivity level and is particularly useful for comparing settings with other players, regardless of their individual DPI and sensitivity combinations.

Supported Games and Precision

Our converter supports over 30 popular FPS games, each with their verified yaw multipliers:

• Tactical Shooters: Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, Rainbow 6 Siege, Escape from Tarkov
• Battle Royales: Apex Legends, Fortnite, Call of Duty: Warzone 2, PUBG
• Hero Shooters: Overwatch 2, Marvel Rivals
• And many more: The Finals, XDefiant, Rust, Destiny 2, Team Fortress 2

The calculations are precise to three decimal places, ensuring minimal difference in feel between games.

Practical Applications

Scenario 1: Switching Games

You primarily play Counter-Strike 2 with a sensitivity of 2.0 at 800 DPI and want to try Valorant. The converter will:

1. Calculate your cm/360° from CS2 settings
2. Apply the Valorant yaw multiplier (0.07)
3. Provide the exact Valorant sensitivity that feels identical

Scenario 2: New Mouse with Different DPI

You're upgrading from an 800 DPI mouse to a 1600 DPI mouse. The converter adjusts your sensitivity automatically to maintain the same physical mouse movement required for rotations.

Scenario 3: Competitive Consistency

Professional players often use this conversion to maintain their aim when practicing across different games, ensuring their muscle memory transfers directly between titles.

Advanced Features

Copy to Clipboard Functionality

The tool includes one-click copying for all calculated values (cm/360°, in/360°, eDPI), making it easy to share settings with teammates or save for future reference.

Persistent Settings

Your settings are automatically saved locally, so you don't have to re-enter your preferred configurations each time you visit the tool.
