Formula
CS2 to Overwatch formula
Overwatch sens = CS2 sens × 3.333333Counter-Strike 2 turns 0.022° per mouse count at sensitivity 1; Overwatch 2 turns 0.0066°. The ratio of the two, 0.022 ÷ 0.0066, is the multiplier. It holds at any DPI as long as you use the same DPI in both games.

Converting from
Sensitivity in Counter-Strike 2
Also applies to CS:GO
Counter-Strike 2 keeps the classic Source yaw of 0.022° per count (the m_yaw value), which is why its numbers carry over to Apex and TF2 unchanged. Raw input is always on, the field of view is fixed, and scoped speed is set separately with zoom_sensitivity_ratio.
- Where to set it
- Settings → Keyboard / Mouse → Mouse Sensitivity, or
sensitivityin the console - Common range
- 0.8–1.5 at 800 DPI (35–65 cm/360°)
Converting to
Sensitivity in Overwatch 2
Overwatch 2 shares its 0.0066° yaw with Call of Duty and Destiny 2, so values move between those three unchanged. Sensitivity can be overridden per hero, and scoped heroes such as Widowmaker and Ashe add Relative Aim Sensitivity While Zoomed (default 30%) on top.
- Where to set it
- Options → Controls → General → Mouse → Sensitivity
- Common range
- 4–7 at 800 DPI (25–43 cm/360°)
Ranges compared
Where CS2 players land in Overwatch
Competitive CS2 players mostly use 0.8–1.5 at 800 DPI, which converts to Overwatch 2.67–5. Overwatch players typically sit at 4–7, so most CS2 players land on the slow side in Overwatch. Plenty keep it that way: your muscle memory matters more than matching everyone else.
FAQ
CS2 to Overwatch sens questions
How do I convert CS2 sens to Overwatch?
To keep the same feel, multiply your CS2 sens by 3.3333. At the same DPI, CS2 1.2 equals Overwatch 4. If you play Overwatch at a different DPI, enter both DPIs in the converter above and it compensates.
What is CS2 1.2 in Overwatch?
CS2 1.2 at 800 DPI is Overwatch 4 at 800 DPI (exactly 4). Both need 43.3 cm of mouse movement for a full 360° turn.
Is CS2 sensitivity the same as Overwatch?
No. CS2 turns 0.022° per mouse count at sensitivity 1 and Overwatch turns 0.0066°, so the same number in Overwatch is 3.33× slower. That is why you need to convert.
Where do I change sensitivity in Overwatch 2?
Options → Controls → General → Mouse → Sensitivity.
Why does Overwatch feel different at the converted sens?
The converted value matches your 360° distance exactly, but CS2 and Overwatch use different fields of view and camera setups, so targets can appear to move at a different speed on screen. Make sure mouse acceleration is off in both games and in Windows, then give it a few sessions before tweaking.
