cm/360 = (360 ÷ (yaw × sens × DPI)) × 2.54 · Overwatch 2 yaw = 0.0066Overwatch 2 Sensitivity Converter
Switching to Overwatch 2 from another shooter shouldn’t mean relearning your aim from scratch. This free Overwatch 2 sensitivity converter matches your current mouse sensitivity to Overwatch 2 using the same 360° turn distance, so your muscle memory carries over. Pick your game, enter your sensitivity and DPI, and get your Overwatch 2 sens, eDPI and cm/360 instantly.
How to Use the Overwatch 2 Sensitivity Converter
- Choose the game you’re converting from in the “Convert From” box.
- Choose Overwatch 2 in the “Convert To” box.
- Enter your current in-game sensitivity and your mouse DPI (plus your Overwatch 2 DPI if it differs).
- Click Convert and enter the result in Overwatch 2 under Settings → Controls → Mouse → Sensitivity.
The ⇄ button swaps the two games, so you can convert in the other direction. The result also shows your eDPI, cm/360° and in/360°.
How Overwatch 2 Sensitivity Is Calculated
Overwatch 2 Yaw Value
Overwatch 2 uses a yaw of 0.0066 degrees per mouse count at sensitivity 1. Every game has its own yaw value, which is why the same number feels different from game to game. Call of Duty and Destiny 2 use the same value, which is why those sensitivities often carry over directly.
The Conversion Formula
To convert from any game, the tool matches your 360° distance:
Overwatch 2 Sens = (Your Sens × Your Game’s Yaw) ÷ 0.0066
If your DPI changes between games, multiply by (old DPI ÷ new DPI). The converter does this for you.
What Is a Good Sensitivity in Overwatch 2?
Typical Sensitivity Ranges
Many Overwatch 2 players use 400 to 1600 DPI with an in-game sensitivity of roughly 4 to 10. At 800 DPI, that works out to about 17 to 43 cm/360°.
Low vs High Sensitivity by Hero
A lower sensitivity (higher cm/360) gives more precise tracking and flicking, which suits hitscan and sniper heroes like Widowmaker, Ashe and Soldier: 76. A higher sensitivity gives faster turns, which suits close-range and fast-moving heroes like Tracer, Genji and Reinhardt. Many players use one general sensitivity and fine-tune the hero-specific scoped sensitivity.
Quick Reference at 800 DPI
| Overwatch 2 Sens | eDPI | Approx. cm/360° |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 3200 | 43.3 cm |
| 5 | 4000 | 34.6 cm |
| 6 | 4800 | 28.9 cm |
| 8 | 6400 | 21.6 cm |
| 10 | 8000 | 17.3 cm |
Tips to Get the Most From Your Converted Sensitivity
Test It in the Practice Range
Load the Practice Range and practice tracking and flicking for 10 to 15 minutes. Your converted sensitivity should feel familiar straight away, and small tweaks are normal.
Set Your Hero-Specific Sensitivity
The converter gives you your general sensitivity. Overwatch 2 also lets you set a separate sensitivity for scoped heroes, so adjust that after your base sensitivity feels right.
Keep the Same DPI When Possible
Changing DPI and sensitivity at the same time makes it hard to tell what feels off. Convert once, play for a few sessions, and only then fine-tune.
