Distance is the physical mouse travel needed for one full 360° in-game rotation. Lower number = faster aim.

What cm/360° actually measures

cm/360° is the only sensitivity metric that means the same thing across every game and every mouse. It's the literal number of centimeters your mouse travels for one full character rotation. That's what your hand has trained — not the slider value in any single game.

When pros switch games, they don't keep the same in-game sens number — they keep the same cm/360°. The sensitivity converters on this site exist precisely to preserve cm/360° between games.

Reference ranges by playstyle

Snipers / arm-aimers — wide swings, full arm motion 40 – 80 cm
Tactical rifle — Val/CS pros, balanced 25 – 40 cm
Apex / Overwatch tracking — fast camera turns 15 – 25 cm
Wrist-aimers / arena shooters — flick-heavy 8 – 15 cm

How to find your ideal cm/360°

Pick a target cm/360° based on the genre you play most.
Measure your mousepad's usable width with a ruler.
Your cm/360° should let you do a full turn without lifting the mouse.
If your cm/360° is bigger than your mousepad width, lower the eDPI.
Train it for at least 2-4 weeks before changing again.

FAQ

Is lower or higher cm/360° better?

Lower (faster) wins flicks; higher (slower) wins precision. Pick based on the games you play and your mousepad size. Don't try to match a specific pro — match a playstyle range.

Should DPI affect my cm/360° choice?

No. cm/360° is the same regardless of DPI as long as you adjust in-game sens to compensate. Pick a cm/360°, then derive sens from your DPI.

My monitor is huge — does that change anything?

Monitor size doesn't change cm/360° — it changes how many pixels the cursor crosses per cm of mouse movement (cm/pixel). That's relevant for first-person aim only insofar as your eyes need to track more area on a big screen. Most pros sit ~60-70 cm from their monitor regardless of size.
