Why convert CS2 sensitivity to Valorant?

Many CS2 players test out Valorant after watching VCT. The good news: cm/360° transfers exactly. The bad news: in-game sens numbers look 3× smaller because Valorant's yaw is 3× larger. Don't panic when your 1.5 CS2 becomes a 0.47 Val — same hand, smaller slider.

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 Valorant, you need a sensitivity of about 0.4714 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 Valorant.

CS2 yaw: 0.022
Valorant yaw: 0.07

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

One trap: in CS2 you may run 400 DPI / high sens. In Valorant most players (and pros) run 800 DPI / lower sens. Either keep DPI matched between games for the converter to work, or convert at your CS DPI then change DPI separately.
