FPS Sensitivity Converter

About this tool

Mouse sensitivity is one of the most personal settings in any first-person shooter. Finding the perfect sensitivity can mean the difference between landing that crucial headshot and missing entirely. But when you switch games, that perfect sensitivity doesn't translate directly—each game has its own sensitivity scale and calculation method. This converter helps you approximate your sensitivity across different games, saving you hours of trial and error.

The converter uses community-derived multipliers that have been tested and refined by players over time. These multipliers represent the ratio between sensitivity values in different games, allowing for approximate conversions. However, it's important to note that these are not official values from game developers, and there may be differences in how each game processes mouse input.

Whether you're switching from CS2 to Valorant, Apex Legends to Fortnite, or any other combination of FPS games, this tool provides a solid starting point. The custom multiplier option allows you to input your own values for games not listed, making the tool flexible enough for any gaming scenario.

How to use

1. Select the game you're currently playing from the "From game" dropdown.
2. Enter your current sensitivity value in the "Current sensitivity" field.
3. Select the game you want to convert to from the "To game" dropdown.
4. If converting to/from a game not listed, select "Custom" and enter the appropriate multiplier.
5. Click the "Convert" button to calculate the approximate sensitivity.
6. Use the converted value as a starting point in your new game.
7. Fine-tune the sensitivity in-game based on your personal preference.

When to use

• Switching games: When you move from one FPS to another and want to maintain a similar feel.
• Testing new games: Getting a head start on sensitivity settings in a new game.
• Competitive play: Ensuring consistent aim across multiple games you play competitively.
• Community guides: Converting sensitivities shared by other players in guides or videos.
• Hardware changes: Adjusting sensitivity when switching to a new mouse or mouse pad.
• Resolution changes: Recalculating sensitivity after changing your display resolution.

Tips

• Always test in-game: The converted value is a starting point, not a perfect match.
• Use small adjustments: Change sensitivity by small increments to find your perfect setting.
• Consider DPI: Your mouse DPI affects sensitivity. Keep DPI consistent across games for best results.
• Account for FOV: Different field of view settings can affect how sensitive your aim feels.
• Save your settings: Keep a record of your sensitivities for each game you play.
• Use the same mouse: Different mice have different sensor characteristics that affect feel.

Understanding sensitivity terms

What is DPI?

DPI (Dots Per Inch) is a measure of how many pixels your mouse cursor moves per inch of physical movement. Higher DPI means faster cursor movement. Most gaming mice allow adjusting DPI between 400-16000. A common setting is 800-1600 DPI.

What is a sensitivity multiplier?

A multiplier represents the ratio between sensitivity values in different games. Each game has its own internal sensitivity scale, and multipliers help convert between these scales. The multipliers used here are community-derived approximations, not official values.

What is cm/360?

cm/360 is the distance you need to move your mouse to complete a full 360-degree rotation in-game. This is considered the most consistent way to measure sensitivity across different games and DPI settings. To calculate cm/360: (2.54 * 100) / (DPI * Sensitivity * Multiplier).

Should I use cm/360 instead?

For the most consistent feel across games, yes. However, this tool focuses on in-game sensitivity values since that's what most players adjust directly. For professional-level consistency, consider tracking your cm/360 value and adjusting accordingly.

FAQ

Why aren't the results perfectly accurate?

Each game processes mouse input differently, and multipliers are community-derived approximations, not official values.

Can I convert between any two games?

Yes, using the custom multiplier option for games not in the preset list.

What is a sensitivity multiplier?

A multiplier represents the ratio between sensitivity values in different games. For example, a multiplier of 0.0069 means Valorant's sensitivity scale is much finer than CS2's.

Should I use the same DPI across games?

For consistency, it's recommended to use the same DPI setting across all games you play.

Can I convert console sensitivities?

This tool is designed for mouse sensitivities on PC. Console sensitivities work differently.

How often are the multipliers updated?

The multipliers are based on community consensus and are updated periodically as new information becomes available.
