Convert Your Valorant Sensitivity to CS2 (Without Losing Your Aim)

· by Andergrove Software

To convert your Valorant sensitivity to CS2, multiply it by about 3.18 while keeping your mouse DPI the same. A Valorant sens of 0.4 becomes roughly 1.27 in CS2. That single number is what keeps the muscle memory you have spent hundreds of hours building.

But the multiplier is only half the story. What actually transfers between games is your cm/360 — how far you physically move the mouse to turn a full circle. Match that, and your aim feels identical no matter which game you launch. You can convert your sensitivity instantly and see your cm/360 with the tool; here is what is going on underneath it.

The quick conversion

At the same DPI:

CS2 sensitivity = Valorant sensitivity × 3.18

Examples:

  • Valorant 0.3 → CS2 0.95
  • Valorant 0.4 → CS2 1.27
  • Valorant 0.5 → CS2 1.59
  • Valorant 0.7 → CS2 2.23

CS2 uses the same sensitivity scale as CS:GO, so if you already know your CS:GO number, it carries straight over.

Why it is ×3.18

Different engines turn your sensitivity setting into in-game rotation using different internal multipliers (the "yaw" value). Valorant's scale is coarser, so the same on-screen number means a much larger turn than it does in CS2. The 3.18 factor simply cancels out that difference so the physical motion stays the same. It is not magic — it is just unit conversion between two games that measure sensitivity differently.

The number that actually matters: cm/360

Your in-game sensitivity number is meaningless on its own, because it depends on your DPI. The metric that describes your real aim is cm/360: the distance, in centimetres, your mouse travels to spin 360 degrees.

  • Low sens players often sit around 40–50 cm/360 (big arm movements, very precise).
  • Mid-range is roughly 25–40 cm/360.
  • High sens is anything under about 20 cm/360 (wrist aiming, fast flicks).

As long as your cm/360 stays the same across games, your aim transfers. The whole point of the conversion is to preserve it. That is also why a good converter shows you the cm/360 directly — it is the ground truth that the per-game numbers are just shorthand for.

Keep your DPI the same

The conversion assumes your mouse DPI does not change. If you switch DPI as well, both numbers move and the math no longer lines up. Pick a DPI you like (800 is a common esports default) and leave it alone — change only the in-game sensitivity.

If you do want to change DPI, convert using effective DPI (eDPI) = DPI × in-game sensitivity, which lets you compare setups across different hardware.

After you switch

Even with a perfect conversion, CS2 will feel a little different — the movement, the weapons and the recoil are not the same as Valorant. Give yourself a session or two to adjust before you start tweaking. If you change the number too early, you will be chasing a feeling rather than fixing a real problem.

When you are ready to re-tune, warm up and retrain your flicks with an Aim Trainer so you are comparing aim, not just vibes.

Convert it instantly

You do not need to do the arithmetic by hand. The Andergrove Sensitivity Converter converts between Valorant, CS2, CS:GO, Apex Legends, Overwatch and Call of Duty, keeps your DPI fixed, and shows your cm/360 so you can confirm the feel is preserved. It runs entirely in your browser — paste in your Valorant number, read off your CS2 number, and you are ready to play.
