What is eDPI and why does it matter?

eDPI stands for effective DPI and is calculated by multiplying your mouse hardware DPI by your in-game sensitivity value—for example, 800 DPI at 0.5 in-game sensitivity produces an eDPI of 400. It matters because two players with completely different DPI and sensitivity combinations can have the same eDPI and therefore the same effective mouse speed, making eDPI the only apples-to-apples comparison across different hardware setups. When this converter uses cm/360° as the universal standard, it is essentially a physical-world expression of your eDPI translated through your monitor resolution and game FOV. Knowing your eDPI helps you communicate your settings clearly with other players and coaches.

What is cm/360° and why is it used for conversion?

cm/360° describes the physical distance you must move your mouse on the mousepad to rotate your in-game camera exactly 360 degrees, measured in centimeters. It is the universal sensitivity standard because it is completely independent of game engine, DPI, and in-game sensitivity scale—a 30 cm/360° setting in CS2 produces the exact same physical mouse sweep as 30 cm/360° in Valorant or Apex Legends. This makes it the only unit that accurately compares sensitivity across different games without requiring knowledge of each game's internal scaling factors. Professional players typically reference their sensitivity in cm/360° rather than raw in-game values for this reason.

Why does my converted sensitivity still feel off after conversion?

Even a mathematically perfect conversion can feel slightly different between games due to factors like FOV differences (wider FOV makes the same cm/360° feel faster), rendering framerate, input lag, and differing levels of mouse acceleration or smoothing applied by each game engine. Additionally, your mouse's sensor behavior at different speeds may produce slightly different tracking on different surfaces, which can subtly affect feel perception. If the converted sensitivity feels close but not quite right, make small incremental adjustments of 5–10% up or down from the converted value rather than large changes. After a few sessions, your feel perception often adjusts and confirms whether the conversion was accurate.

Do pro players use high or low sensitivity?

Professional FPS players overwhelmingly prefer lower sensitivity settings (higher cm/360° values) compared to what casual players typically use—most top CS2 and Valorant pros play between 25–45 cm/360°, which requires sweeping the mouse 25–45 centimeters for a full rotation. Lower sensitivity rewards precise, deliberate mouse movements and is especially suited for games where consistent crosshair placement and controlled tracking matter more than frantic 360° spins. However, the right sensitivity is ultimately personal—some elite players like shroud and other professionals have historically used relatively higher sensitivity and excelled. Start at a cm/360° value similar to what pros in your main game use and adjust from there based on your own movement style.

What is Game Sensitivity Converter?

The sensitivity converter is a universal mouse sensitivity conversion tool that translates your sensitivity setting from any game to any other game using cm/360° as the common unit—the distance your mouse must travel on the mousepad to rotate your in-game view a full 360 degrees. It also handles eDPI calculations (mouse DPI multiplied by in-game sensitivity) to give you a complete picture of your effective sensitivity. This tool is essential for players who switch between multiple games and want to preserve their muscle memory across all of them.

Why use Game Sensitivity Converter?

Different games use completely different sensitivity scales, meaning a value of 1.0 in one game could feel wildly different from 1.0 in another—without a converter, you would need to re-learn your aim from scratch every time you switch titles. Using cm/360° as a universal standard ensures your crosshair movement feels identical across every game, letting your muscle memory transfer seamlessly. This is especially valuable for players who compete in multiple titles or are migrating from an old game to a new one.

How it works

A CS2 player transitioning to Valorant uses the sensitivity converter to find the exact Valorant sensitivity that replicates their CS2 feel, avoiding weeks of muscle memory retraining. Content creators who play multiple games for their audience use it to maintain consistent aim quality across every title without losing competitive edge in any of them. Players upgrading their mouse DPI from 400 to 800 use the eDPI calculator to halve their in-game sensitivity precisely, keeping their effective sensitivity unchanged.

Pro Tip

Always use cm/360° rather than raw sensitivity numbers when communicating your settings—it is the only unit that means the same thing across every game and every DPI. If your converted sensitivity still feels slightly off, check whether the target game applies a FOV modifier that your source game does not, as this can affect the feel even with mathematically correct values.

Frequently Asked Questions

The most common DPI settings among competitive FPS players are 400, 800, and 1600, with 800 DPI being the most widely used because it offers a balance between precision and responsiveness. The ideal DPI is ultimately the one that, when combined with your in-game sensitivity, produces a cm/360° value that feels comfortable for your mouse movement style and mousepad size. Players with smaller mousepads typically benefit from higher DPI settings, while players with large extended pads often prefer 400 or 800 DPI with proportionally lower in-game sensitivity. Avoid DPI values above 3200 for most gaming scenarios, as they can introduce hardware interpolation that reduces precision.
