Valorant to CS2 Sensitivity Guide: Convert Your Sens Like a Pro

October 4, 2026 · 6 min read · Sensitivity

Switching from Valorant to CS2 — or grinding both? The worst thing you can do is copy your sensitivity number straight across. The two games measure sensitivity on completely different scales, so "0.5" in Valorant feels nothing like "0.5" in CS2. This guide gives you the exact conversion formula, pro reference settings, and a free tool that does the math for you.

The exact conversion formula

Every FPS game rotates your view a slightly different amount per unit of mouse movement. This is called the game's yaw — degrees of rotation per mouse count. Valorant's yaw is 0.07; CS2's is 0.022. The ratio between them is your conversion factor:

CS2 sens = Valorant sens × 3.18

That's it. Multiply your Valorant sensitivity by 3.18 and you get the CS2 sensitivity that moves your crosshair the exact same physical distance. Going the other way? Divide your CS2 sens by 3.18.

Step-by-step: convert your sens

1. Write down your current setup. Note your Valorant sensitivity AND your mouse DPI. Both matter.
2. Keep the same DPI. Don't change your mouse DPI between games — it keeps the math exact and your muscle memory consistent.
3. Convert. Use our free sensitivity converter — select Valorant → CS2, enter your sens and DPI, and copy the result.
4. Apply it in CS2. Paste the number into your CS2 mouse settings.
5. Warm up. Play 20–30 minutes of deathmatch before judging the feel. Your brain needs a short calibration period even with a perfect conversion.

Pro settings reference

Most pros in both games play on surprisingly low sensitivity. Here's where the elite sit (800 DPI is the most common pro DPI):

*ZywOo plays 400 DPI × 2.0 sens. Notice how pro eDPI clusters around 250–400 in Valorant — low, controlled, precise.

5 mistakes to avoid

1. Copying the number directly

Typing "0.5" into CS2 because it was "0.5" in Valorant gives you wildly slow aim. Always convert.

2. Changing DPI at the same time

Switching games AND DPI simultaneously makes it impossible to tell what feels off. Change one variable at a time.

3. Ignoring cm/360

Your cm/360 — the physical mousepad distance for a full 360° turn — is the real measure of aim speed. Our converter shows it for both games; it should match.

4. Judging after one game

CS2's narrower FOV (90° vs Valorant's 103°) makes everything feel slightly different at first. Give it a few days.

5. Constant tweaking

Changing sens every day resets your muscle memory. Lock it in for at least a week before adjusting.

Fine-tuning after conversion

The converted number is your starting point, not gospel. After a week, ask yourself: am I overshooting flicks (sens slightly high) or running out of mousepad on turns (sens slightly low)? Adjust in tiny 5–10% steps. And remember — arm aimers generally prefer lower sens with big mousepads, while wrist aimers can get away with higher sens.
