Apex Legends to CS2
Sensitivity Converter
Apex Legends and CS2 turn the same 0.022 degrees per mouse count, so your sensitivity carries over 1:1: at the same DPI, type the same number. What can still differ is the field of view, covered below.
The Apex to CS2 multiplier
Every shooter turns the camera a fixed angle per mouse count at sensitivity 1. That angle is the game's yaw: 0.022 degrees in Apex Legends, 0.022 in CS2. Your real sensitivity is cm/360 = 2.54 × 360 / (DPI × sens × yaw), so holding it constant across games leaves one ratio of yaws: here it is exactly 1, which is why the number does not change.
Apex uses the same Source-style turn rate as CS2, but it is a much faster game and many players run a higher sens there than suits slow, tactical aim.
CS2 is the most common switch into and out of Valorant. Both are slow, precise tactical shooters, so muscle memory carries over cleanly once the cm/360 matches.
Apex and CS2 sens: cm/360 by DPI
The number doesn't change between Apex Legends and CS2, so here is what each common value means in real distance. If you changed DPI between the two games, find your cm/360 here and pick the sens that gives it at your new DPI.
| Sens (both games) | cm/360 @ 400 DPI | @ 800 DPI | @ 1600 DPI | eDPI @ 800 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.8 | 129.9 cm | 64.9 cm | 32.5 cm | 640 |
| 1 | 103.9 cm | 52.0 cm | 26.0 cm | 800 |
| 1.2 | 86.6 cm | 43.3 cm | 21.6 cm | 960 |
| 1.4 | 74.2 cm | 37.1 cm | 18.6 cm | 1120 |
| 1.6 | 64.9 cm | 32.5 cm | 16.2 cm | 1280 |
| 1.8 | 57.7 cm | 28.9 cm | 14.4 cm | 1440 |
| 2 | 52.0 cm | 26.0 cm | 13.0 cm | 1600 |
| 2.5 | 41.6 cm | 20.8 cm | 10.4 cm | 2000 |
eDPI (sens × DPI) is directly comparable between Apex Legends and CS2, because they share a yaw.
Field of view: why it may not feel identical
Apex Legends
Apex lets you choose your field of view under Settings > Video. It starts at 70, EA suggests 90 to 110, and the number is scaled from a 4:3 frame, so it is not directly comparable to Valorant's 103.
CS2
CS2 has no field-of-view slider: it is 90 degrees measured on a 4:3 frame, which is about 106.26 degrees horizontal on a 16:9 screen. Only the cheat-protected fov_cs_debug command changes it.
Where to set it in CS2
In CS2, the setting lives at Settings (the cog, top left) > Keyboard / Mouse > Mouse Sensitivity. Or open the console and type sensitivity 1.4.
Your current number is in Apex Legends at Settings > Mouse/Keyboard > Mouse Sensitivity.
CS2 input
Raw input is always on in CS2: the old m_rawinput command was removed, so Windows pointer settings never touch your in-game aim.
Then warm up at CS2 1.4 (800 DPI) in the browser: the trainer runs at CS2's own turn rate, so the number you type is the number you train. Change the values in the converter first and the button above carries your exact sens.
Apex to CS2 FAQ
Is Apex Legends sensitivity the same as CS2?
Yes. Apex Legends and CS2 both turn 0.022 degrees per mouse count at sensitivity 1, so at the same DPI the number is identical: Apex Legends 1.4 is CS2 1.4, 37.1 cm/360 at 800 DPI. Copy it across unchanged.
What is the CS2 to Apex Legends multiplier?
It is 1. Going from CS2 back to Apex Legends you also keep the same number, because the two games share a turn rate.
Will CS2 feel exactly like Apex Legends after converting?
A full 360 turn will take exactly the same mouse distance. Apex Legends's field of view is your choice and its number is not on the same scale as CS2's, so there is no exact match. The wider you set it, the more slowly the same cm/360 looks on screen. A full 360 still takes exactly the same mouse distance.
Does DPI change the Apex Legends to CS2 conversion?
No. With the same DPI in both games the multiplier is always 1. DPI only changes your cm/360 and eDPI. If you change DPI, scale the sens by old DPI divided by new DPI: going from 800 to 1600 DPI, CS2 1.4 becomes 0.7.
Where do I enter my sensitivity in CS2?
In CS2, the setting lives at Settings (the cog, top left) > Keyboard / Mouse > Mouse Sensitivity. You can also open the console and type sensitivity 1.4.
