Why convert CS2 sensitivity to Apex Legends?

CS2 and Apex Legends both run on Source-family engines, so their sensitivity scales are nearly identical. If you set the same DPI in both games, your CS2 sens number is almost exactly your Apex sens number. The converter exists mainly to confirm cm/360° — and to let you experiment with rounding for different DPI presets.

The math we use preserves cm/360° — the actual distance your mouse needs to move to spin your character once. That's the single thing your muscle memory has actually trained.

Worked example

Say you play CS2 at 1.5 sens with 800 DPI. That's an eDPI of 1200 and a cm/360° of about 34.6 cm.

To get the same physical aim in Apex Legends, you need a sensitivity of about 1.5000 at the same DPI. Same hand movement, different number on the slider.

The yaw value, explained

Every game has an internal "yaw" — how many degrees your view rotates per single mouse counts. It's invisible to most players, but it's why a 0.4 sens in CS2 feels nothing like a 0.4 in Apex Legends.

CS2 yaw: 0.022
Apex Legends yaw: 0.022

The conversion is simply target_sens = source_sens × (source_yaw ÷ target_yaw). The cm/360° and eDPI follow from there.

Three things that quietly break your conversion

FOV

Different default FOVs change perceived speed even when cm/360° is identical. Use our FOV adjuster if your two games have very different defaults.

Windows pointer speed

Anything other than 6/11 multiplies your mouse counts. Set it to 6 and disable "Enhance pointer precision". See our Windows sens tool.

DPI mismatch

The converter assumes the same DPI in both games. Verify your DPI step is identical or the math will silently be wrong.

More on this pair

Because the yaw values match (0.022), the only reason a CS2-to-Apex result would differ noticeably is if you change DPI. Keep DPI consistent across both games and you're good. Apex tip: turn ON 'Per Optic ADS' multiplier scaling and set Coefficient to 'Legacy' to mirror CS-style ADS feel.
