How do you convert Apex Legends sensitivity to Overwatch?

Multiply your Apex Legends sensitivity by 3.333 when the DPI stays the same. The converter does this for you and also adjusts if your DPI differs between the two games.

Does my DPI have to match in both games?

No. Enter your Apex Legends DPI and your Overwatch DPI separately. The converter holds your cm/360 fixed whatever they are, so a different DPI or a new mouse never forces you to relearn your aim.

Will my eDPI be the same in Overwatch?

No. At 800 DPI your Apex Legends settings sit at an eDPI of 1600, and the matched Overwatch sensitivity lands at an eDPI of about 5334, a different number for the same physical turn. The two scales never line up, so read cm/360, not eDPI.

Apex Legends to Overwatch sensitivity converter

Apex turns at 0.022 degrees per count, the Source rate it shares with CS2 and CS:GO. Overwatch plods at 0.0066, roughly a third as fast, so it asks for about 3.33 times the number. Multiply your Apex hipfire value at matching DPI, enter it as Sensitivity under Options, Controls, and let the tool fix any DPI gap.

Those two scales drive eDPI apart, so that column only misleads. Lock cm/360 and your Apex tracking drops into Overwatch untouched. You already set ADS per optic in Apex, and Overwatch carries its own zoom sensitivity for heroes like Widowmaker, so match hipfire first and tune the scoped feel after.
