Formula: cm/360 = (360 × 2.54) / (DPI × sensitivity × yaw) — Yaw values: CS2 = 0.022, Valorant = 0.07, OW2/CoD = 0.0066, R6 = 0.005730, Fortnite = 0.5556, Apex/TF2/Deadlock = 0.022.

How Sensitivity Conversion Works

Every FPS game uses a different sensitivity scale, making direct comparisons impossible. The solution is cm/360 — the physical mouse distance needed for a full 360° rotation. This measurement is independent of DPI, game engine, or sensitivity value.

Our converter uses each game's yaw multiplier — an engine constant that defines how many degrees the camera rotates per unit of mouse input. CS2 and all Source engine games use 0.022°/unit. Valorant uses 0.07°/unit. These constants are fixed and cannot be changed in-game.

The conversion formula is: target_sens = source_sens × (source_yaw / target_yaw) × (source_DPI / target_DPI)

Why Matching Sensitivity Matters

Switching between CS2 and Valorant without matching sensitivity destroys your muscle memory. Your brain has trained specific arm and wrist movements for your 360° distance. Mismatching by even 15% can set back your aim for several days.

Professional players who switch between games always convert their sensitivity. This is why s1mple's 400 DPI × 3.09 in CS2 translates to exactly 0.973 in Valorant — the cm/360 is preserved at ~27 cm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is eDPI in CS2?
eDPI (effective Dots Per Inch) is your DPI multiplied by your in-game sensitivity. For example, 800 DPI × 2.0 sensitivity = 1600 eDPI. It's the best single number to compare sensitivity between players regardless of hardware, because two players with different DPI can have identical aim feel if their eDPI matches.
What is cm/360 and why does it matter?
cm/360 tells you how many centimeters you need to physically move your mouse to rotate exactly 360° in-game. Lower cm/360 means higher sensitivity. Most CS2 pros use 17–40 cm/360. It's the most hardware-independent measurement for sensitivity — two players with identical cm/360 have identical muscle memory requirements regardless of DPI or game.
How do I convert my Valorant sensitivity to CS2?
Multiply your Valorant sensitivity by approximately 3.18 (assuming same DPI). This is because CS2 uses a yaw value of 0.022 and Valorant uses 0.07, so: CS2_sens = Valorant_sens × (0.07 ÷ 0.022) = Valorant_sens × 3.182. Use the converter above for exact values with any DPI combination.
What sensitivity do CS2 pros use?
Most CS2 pros use an eDPI between 700–1200. Common examples: 400 DPI × 2.0 = 800 eDPI, 800 DPI × 1.1 = 880 eDPI, 400 DPI × 1.6 = 640 eDPI. Very few pros go above 1800 eDPI for rifle play. Lower sensitivity provides more precision for long-range shots and spray control.
What DPI should I use for CS2?
400 or 800 DPI is most common in competitive CS2. The DPI itself matters less than your final eDPI — 400 DPI at sensitivity 2.0 is physically identical to 800 DPI at sensitivity 1.0. Use whichever DPI lets you set a comfortable in-game sensitivity value. Avoid extremes (below 400 or above 3200).
Does DPI affect aim quality?
Technically yes, but minimally on modern mice. Very low DPI with high in-game sensitivity can cause sub-pixel stepping (jitter), while very high DPI can amplify sensor noise. The sweet spot is 400–1600 DPI. The difference between 800 and 1600 DPI at matched eDPI is imperceptible to most players.
How do I find my perfect sensitivity?
Start with an eDPI around 800–1200 for CS2. Open Aim Lab or Kovaak's and run Gridshot for 20 minutes. If you consistently overshoot targets, lower your sensitivity by 10%. If you consistently undershoot, raise it by 10%. Repeat until you stop adjusting. Most players find their ideal sensitivity within 2–3 sessions.
What is the best sensitivity for CS2 in 2026?
There is no universal 'best' — it depends on your playstyle, mouse size, mousepad size, and hardware. However, the data from 500+ pro players shows the median eDPI is around 880. A cm/360 of 20–35 cm works well for most competitive players. Use our converter to match a pro you like and test from there.
