Converting from
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.

Sensitivity in Team Fortress 2
Team Fortress 2 runs on the original Source engine with the classic 0.022° yaw shared by CS2 and Apex. Set m_rawinput 1 to bypass Windows pointer settings; fov_desired (up to 90) changes how fast things look on screen but not your 360° distance.

FAQ
Overwatch to TF2 sens questions
How do I convert Overwatch sens to TF2?
To keep the same feel, divide your Overwatch sens by 3.3333 (or multiply by 0.3). At the same DPI, Overwatch 5 equals TF2 1.5. If you play TF2 at a different DPI, enter both DPIs in the converter above and it compensates.
What is Overwatch 5 in TF2?
Overwatch 5 at 800 DPI is TF2 1.5 at 800 DPI (exactly 1.5). Both need 34.6 cm of mouse movement for a full 360° turn.
Is Overwatch sensitivity the same as TF2?
No. Overwatch turns 0.0066° per mouse count at sensitivity 1 and TF2 turns 0.022°, so the same number in TF2 is 3.33× faster. That is why you need to convert.
Where do I change sensitivity in Team Fortress 2?
Options → Mouse → Mouse sensitivity, or sensitivity in the console.
Why does TF2 feel different at the converted sens?
The converted value matches your 360° distance exactly, but Overwatch and TF2 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.
