Convert Overwatch 2 sensitivity to Counter-Strike 2
Your number shrinks to roughly a third on the move to CS2, because CS2 swings the camera much further per point than Overwatch 2 does. A 5.0 in Overwatch 2 at 800 DPI becomes 1.5 in CS2 at the same DPI, and both hold the identical cm/360.

Overwatch 2 to CS2 sensitivity: why the number gets smaller
Overwatch 2 turns only 0.0066 degrees per count, so its Horizontal Sensitivity values run high, usually 3 to 10 at 800 DPI. CS2 runs the Source yaw of 0.022, about three times faster, which is why typical CS2 values sit near 1.0 to 3.0. The converter multiplies your Overwatch 2 value by 0.3 at matching DPI and corrects for any DPI gap. Read your number under Options, Controls and type the result into Mouse Sensitivity in CS2.
A smaller CS2 number is not a slower one once the physical distance holds, so set the switch by cm/360 and the eDPI mismatch stops mattering. With the turn distance fixed, your flicks and tracking come straight over. That same converted value also covers CS:GO and Apex Legends, since all three run the Source scale, though Apex needs its per-scope ADS multipliers set on their own.

FAQ
- How do you convert Overwatch 2 sensitivity to Counter-Strike 2?
- Multiply your Overwatch 2 sensitivity by 0.3 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 each DPI separately. The converter solves for the target sensitivity that keeps your cm/360 the same, whatever DPI you run.
- Will my eDPI be the same in Counter-Strike 2?
- Usually not, and that is correct. Each game turns a different amount per sensitivity unit, so matching real aim distance (cm/360) means the eDPI numbers differ.
