User workflow for reliable numbers

Gaming Sensitivity Converter is structured so you can move from inputs to defensible outputs without hunting for hidden options. Step 1 (“Select Your Game”): Pick the game you currently play from the dropdown. Your existing sensitivity will be the starting point. Step 2 (“Enter Your Sensitivity”): Type your current in-game sensitivity value. Results appear instantly — no button needed. Step 3 (“Copy & Apply”): Hit the Copy button next to any target game and paste the value directly into that game's settings. Following that sequence reduces rounding drift: you lock the scenario first, then layer refinements (tax mode, compounding frequency, activity tier, or niche multiplier) only after baseline numbers look sensible. When you revisit a calculation weeks later, the same order of operations makes spreadsheets and screenshots easier to reconcile with what the UI showed.

How Cross-Game Sensitivity Conversion Works

Every FPS game has a hidden constant called a yaw value — the number of degrees your view rotates per raw mouse count. Valorant uses 0.07°/count, CS2 uses 0.022°/count, and Marvel Rivals also uses 0.022°/count (which is why CS2 and Marvel Rivals sensitivities are always a 1:1 match).

The conversion formula is straightforward: Converted Sens = Source Sens × (Source Yaw / Target Yaw). For Valorant to CS2 that's 0.07 / 0.022 = 3.181 — meaning a Valorant sensitivity of 0.4 becomes CS2 sensitivity 1.272.

The metric this preserves is cm/360°: the centimetres of mouse movement required to rotate your view 360 degrees. Elite players treat cm/360° as their real sensitivity because it is hardware-independent. At 800 DPI, a Valorant 0.4 sensitivity is about 32 cm/360. After converting to CS2 (1.272), you get the same 32 cm/360.

Rainbow Six Siege uses a much smaller yaw value (≈ 0.00616°/count for hipfire), so the conversion factor is 0.088 from R6 to Valorant — meaning R6 sensitivities look much larger but actually rotate the camera far less per unit. ARC Raiders is an extraction shooter currently in early access; its sensitivity scale is 0–100 with conversion values marked as approximate until Embark Studios publishes official yaw data.

Professional context, standards, and limits

Competitive FPS performance is a stack of human factors, display timing, and settings you can actually sustain across thousands of repetitions. Crosshair codes encode color, thickness, outlines, and center dot behavior; what reads cleanly on Mirage may wash out on Icebox or Nuke. Sensitivity math reduces to a measurable cm/360°, yet muscle memory still prefers whatever you have rehearsed for seasons. Frame-time and monitor latency tools help you reason about end-to-end click-to-photon delay, but real-world variance from fullscreen optimizations, Reflex, and driver settings will diverge slightly from any single formula. Treat pro settings as structured experiments: change one variable at a time, log outcomes in aim trainers or scrims, and revert when something feels worse under pressure.

Applying the built-in expert tip

Seasoned users pair the in-app insight—“Pro tip: After converting, keep your DPI the same and only change the in-game sensitivity. This guarantees the same cm/360° — the real measure of muscle memory — across every game.”—with external checks specific to their industry. For Gaming Sensitivity Converter, treat that guidance as a hypothesis: note the assumption, measure the delta against real-world data you trust, and update defaults when your own history disagrees with generic benchmarks. Documenting those adjustments is what turns a quick answer into a repeatable workflow your team can audit.
