What Is a Mouse Sensitivity Converter?

Every FPS game treats mouse movement differently. Valorant uses one sensitivity scale. CS2 uses another. Apex Legends, Fortnite, Call of Duty — all different engines, all different scales. So when you switch games, your aim does not just feel slightly off. It feels completely broken. Shots miss. Flicks overshoot. Nothing lands the way it should.

But your aim did not get worse overnight. The sensitivity scale changed.

A mouse sensitivity converter takes your sensitivity from one game and calculates the exact matching number for another. Same hand movement. Same camera speed. Same feel. Players who switch games without converting spend weeks readjusting — sometimes never getting back to where they were. One conversion takes thirty seconds and saves all of that frustration.

Why the Same Sensitivity Number Feels Different in Every Game

This is the part most players never understand. They assume sensitivity is just a number — copy it across and you are fine. It does not work that way.

Every FPS game has a built-in value called a yaw multiplier. This controls how many degrees your camera rotates for each unit of mouse movement. Game developers choose their own yaw when building their engine. There is no standard. So CS2 and Valorant — both tactical shooters — use completely different yaw values. A sensitivity of 2.0 in CS2 and 2.0 in Valorant produce a completely different turn speed. Same number, completely different aim experience.

This is not a settings problem. It is an engine difference. And a sensitivity converter accounts for it automatically.

Yaw values for popular games:

The conversion formula:

Converted Sensitivity = (Your Sensitivity × From Game Yaw) ÷ To Game Yaw

CS2 sensitivity 2.0 to Valorant: (2.0 × 0.022) ÷ 0.07 = 0.629

Every yaw value is already built into this tool. Enter your numbers, get your result.

How to Convert Your Sensitivity

A lot of players overthink this. They spend hours testing numbers by feel, adjusting mid-session, never settling. The converter gives you a mathematically accurate answer in seconds.

Open your current game and note your exact sensitivity number from the mouse settings. Select that game as your source, type in your sensitivity, then select the game you are switching to. If you are keeping the same mouse, skip the DPI fields — DPI cancels out in the math when your hardware stays the same. Only enter DPI values if you are switching to a different mouse with a different DPI setting.

Your converted sensitivity appears instantly. Copy it, paste it into your new game, and start playing. No guessing. No wasted sessions.

Popular Game Sensitivity Conversions

Valorant to CS2 — The most common switch players make. Valorant’s yaw is 0.07, CS2 is 0.022. CS2 runs about 3.18 times higher. Players who switch without converting almost always end up with a sensitivity that feels impossibly slow — and spend their first week missing shots wondering what went wrong.

CS2 to Valorant — The reverse switch. A CS2 sensitivity around 2.0 becomes roughly 0.629 in Valorant. The number looks very different but the actual turn speed is identical.

Apex Legends to CS2 or Valorant — Apex shares the same yaw as CS2 at 0.022. Apex to CS2 is a direct match. Apex to Valorant follows the same conversion as CS2 to Valorant.

COD to Valorant — Call of Duty uses a yaw of 0.0066, one of the lowest of any popular game. COD sensitivity numbers appear very high compared to Valorant. This is one of the conversions where guessing produces the worst results.

Fortnite to any game — Fortnite’s yaw of 0.5555 makes it unlike any other major FPS. Sensitivity values there look tiny. A Fortnite sensitivity that feels fast will convert to a normal competitive number in CS2 or Valorant.

PUBG to other games — PUBG has the smallest yaw of any widely played FPS at 0.00572. Players coming from PUBG are consistently surprised at how different their converted sensitivity looks. The math is correct even when the number feels unexpected.

 Frequently Asked Questions — Mouse Sensitivity Converte

Does DPI affect sensitivity conversion?

Not when you are using the same mouse in both games. DPI cancels out in the calculation. It only matters when you switch to a different mouse running a different DPI — in that case enter both values and the tool adjusts automatically.

Why does aim still feel slightly different after converting?

The sensitivity match is mathematically exact. But aim feel is also affected by field of view, frame rate, and mouse acceleration. Turn off mouse acceleration in Windows settings and enable raw input inside your game. These two changes alone make a significant difference to aim consistency across games.

How do I find my mouse DPI?

The easiest way is to open your mouse software. Logitech users can check G Hub. Razer users can check Razer Synapse. SteelSeries users can check SteelSeries GG. Your current DPI profile will be shown there. If your mouse does not have software, check the manufacturer website for your specific mouse model. Most gaming mice use 400, 800, or 1600 DPI as their default profiles.

Can I keep the same sensitivity in every game?

No — and this is exactly why sensitivity mismatch is such a common problem. Every game uses a different internal scale. The same number produces a different turn speed in every game. Converting gives you aim consistency no matter which game you are in.

Conclusion

Switching games should not cost you your aim. The hours you put into building muscle memory, crosshair placement, and flick accuracy — all of that should carry with you. A sensitivity converter makes sure it does. Convert once, save your numbers for each game, and stay focused on improving instead of constantly readjusting.
