How to Match Your Mouse Sensitivity Across Games
Switching between different first-person shooters shouldn't ruin your muscle memory. Our calculator ensures that moving your mouse 5 inches on your mousepad translates to the exact same in-game rotation, no matter what game engine you are playing on.
Understanding cm/360°
The gold standard for measuring sensitivity is cm/360°. This represents the physical distance (in centimeters) you must move your mouse across your desk to perform a complete 360-degree turn in the game.
Because every game has a different slider scale (e.g., 1.5 in CS2 vs 7.0% in Fortnite), converting to cm/360° gives you a universal, physical measurement that never lies.
What is Engine Yaw?
Game engines calculate camera rotation using a value called m_yaw.
For example, Valve's Source engine (CS2, Apex Legends) rotates your camera 0.022 degrees for every single "dot" your mouse sends to your PC. Riot's Valorant rotates 0.07 degrees per dot. Our calculator does the complex ratio math between these engines automatically.
Does changing Mouse DPI affect the conversion?
Yes! Your mouse DPI (Dots Per Inch) is the hardware multiplier for your sensitivity. If you decide to upgrade your mouse or change from 400 DPI to 800 DPI while switching games, simply input your old DPI on the left and your new DPI on the right. The calculator will automatically halve your in-game sensitivity to compensate, keeping your physical cm/360° identical.
