Why convert Valorant sensitivity to CS2?

Valorant and Counter-Strike 2 are the two biggest tactical FPS titles in 2026, and a huge chunk of the player base bounces between them. The good news: the two games are mathematically related — both are aim-down-sights tactical shooters where consistency matters more than raw speed. The bad news: their internal sensitivity scales are completely different, so your '0.4 sens' in Valorant becomes a meaningless number in CS2.

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 Valorant at 0.4 sens with 800 DPI. That's an eDPI of 320 and a cm/360° of about 40.8 cm.

To get the same physical aim in CS2, you need a sensitivity of about 1.2727 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 Valorant feels nothing like a 0.4 in CS2.

Valorant yaw: 0.07
CS2 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

Most Valorant pros sit at 200–320 eDPI. Most CS2 pros sit at 700–1100 eDPI. Both groups are aiming with roughly the same physical hand movement (28–35 cm/360°) — the eDPI difference comes purely from the engine, not the players' preference. Don't mistake the bigger CS2 number for 'faster aim'.
