How to Convert CS2 Sensitivity to Valorant
Move your CS2 sensitivity to Valorant without losing muscle memory: the 3.18 factor, the cm/360 check and numbers from 651 pro profiles.
You move from CS2 to Valorant and the first thing that falls apart is your aim. It is not you: the engines measure sensitivity differently, so the same number in the settings produces a completely different turn speed. Short answer: divide your CS2 sensitivity by 3.18 and leave DPI alone. Below we unpack where that number comes from, how to verify the result in centimetres per 360, and what the people who play for money actually run.
What you carry over: speed, not the number
Every game has a yaw value — how many degrees the camera turns per mouse count. In CS2 it is 0.022, in Valorant 0.07. That is the whole story: the same speed needs different sensitivity numbers, and the ratio between them is constant — 0.07 ÷ 0.022 = 3.18.
The metric that proves it is cm/360 — how far the mouse travels for one full turn:
cm/360 = 360 ÷ (yaw × sensitivity) ÷ DPI × 2.54
If cm/360 matches in both games after the conversion, your muscle memory is intact and there is nothing left to tweak.
Step 1. Get your CS2 numbers
You need two: in-game sensitivity and mouse DPI. Sensitivity is in the CS2 settings or via the sensitivity console command. DPI lives in your mouse software (Logitech G HUB, Razer Synapse and so on); if you have never touched it, it is almost certainly 800.
The sensitivity value alone means nothing: 2.0 at 400 DPI and 1.0 at 800 DPI are the same speed. From here on we work with the pair, sensitivity × DPI.
Step 2. Divide by 3.18
The conversion is one line:
Valorant sensitivity = CS2 sensitivity ÷ 3.18
So 2.0 in CS2 becomes 0.63 in Valorant, 1.2 → 0.377, 0.8 → 0.251. Leave DPI alone — only the in-game number changes.
| CS2 sensitivity | Valorant sensitivity | cm/360 at 800 DPI |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 | 0.157 | 103.9 |
| 0.8 | 0.251 | 64.9 |
| 1.0 | 0.314 | 52.0 |
| 1.5 | 0.471 | 34.6 |
| 2.0 | 0.629 | 26.0 |
| 2.5 | 0.786 | 20.8 |
| 3.0 | 0.943 | 17.3 |
You do not have to do the maths by hand: drop your values into the CS2 → Valorant converter and it returns the new sensitivity, cm/360 and eDPI at once. The other direction lives on the Valorant → CS2 page.
Step 3. Check cm/360, then check in game
Open the sensitivity and DPI calculator and compare cm/360 for both games: the numbers should match to within a tenth. If they do not, either the DPI or the sensitivity you typed is wrong.
Then test by hand. On the range, put your crosshair on the edge of a target and make your usual small correction flick. If your hand overshoots, run the numbers again instead of nudging the slider — a sensitivity tuned by feel destroys exactly what the conversion protected. You can burn a few rounds on targets right here, in our Valorant aim trainer.
Step 4. What else to set after the move
Valorant has a separate aim-down-sights (ADS) sensitivity multiplier. In our database of 651 pros almost nobody touches it: 496 players keep it at 1.0, the rest sit in a narrow 0.8–1.1 band. Set 1.0 and forget it.
Leave Windows pointer speed at default too: 589 of 651 profiles run the standard sixth notch. Anything else adds scaling that makes your cm/360 maths stop matching reality.
What the pros actually run
Numbers from our settings database (snapshot of August 22, 2026, 651 profiles):
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Median in-game sensitivity | 0.27 |
| Typical sensitivity band | 0.107 – 0.503 |
| Median eDPI | 232 |
| Typical eDPI band | 160 – 340 |
| Most common DPI | 800 (342 players) |
| ADS multiplier | 1.0 on 496 of 651 |
For comparison, the median eDPI in our CS2 database is 800 — higher by the same factor of three-and-a-bit. That is the best proof that pros do not re-pick a sensitivity per game; they keep one physical speed. The full hardware breakdown is in our piece on the mice Valorant pros use, and individual setups are in the settings database.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CS2 to Valorant sensitivity conversion factor?
Divide by 3.18. The exact value is 0.07 ÷ 0.022 = 3.1818 — the ratio of the two engines' yaw, meaning degrees turned per mouse count.
Should I change DPI when switching?
No. DPI is a property of the mouse, not the game. Only the in-game sensitivity converts; keep the same DPI or you will change both the speed and how the cursor feels in menus.
Why are pro Valorant sensitivities such small numbers?
Because Valorant's yaw is three times larger: one sensitivity unit turns the camera 0.07 degrees against 0.022 in CS2. A median of 0.27 in Valorant is roughly the same speed as 0.86 in CS2.
What if the aim still feels wrong after converting?
Check cm/360 in both games and the ADS multiplier (should be 1.0), then give yourself a week. Most of the strangeness comes from a different recoil model and movement speed, not from the sensitivity.
