cm/360 Calculator

The cm/360 metric — centimeters of mouse movement required to complete one full 360-degree in-game rotation — is the single most universal way to describe and compare gaming mouse sensitivity. Unlike raw in-game sensitivity numbers, which mean nothing outside their own game, or DPI values, which only describe the hardware, cm/360 gives you a physical, hardware-independent measurement that travels with you from title to title.

When a CS2 pro says they play at "40 cm/360," any player on any mouse at any DPI immediately understands exactly what that feels like at the wrist. This shared language is why cm/360 has become the de facto standard for sensitivity discussion in competitive gaming communities, coach databases, and professional player profiles.

Understanding your cm/360 matters for three core reasons. First, it lets you set an identical feel when switching between games or trying new titles — you simply enter your preferred cm/360 and derive the correct in-game sensitivity. Second, it reveals whether your sensitivity is truly suited to your physical setup: a 30 cm/360 on a 20 cm mousepad will have you lifting constantly, while an 80 cm/360 on a large pad gives you precise control. Third, it is the foundation of effective sensitivity coaching; trainers always ask for cm/360 rather than a raw sensitivity number.

The cm/360 calculator on this page handles all supported multiplier values for CS:GO / CS2, Valorant, Overwatch 2, Apex Legends, Fortnite, Call of Duty, and PUBG, so you get an accurate result no matter which game you play. It also converts to inches per 360, degrees per centimeter, and degrees per inch — all the secondary figures that advanced players and coaches reference.

The calculator uses the following formula to convert your DPI and in-game sensitivity into a physical distance:

Each game translates raw mouse input into an in-game rotation using its own internal scaling constant, called the yaw multiplier. The formula divides out this constant so that cm/360 is expressed in real-world centimetres rather than arbitrary game units. The table below lists every multiplier used by this calculator:

When converting your sensitivity from one game to another, use the ratio of their multipliers. For example, converting a CS2 setting to Overwatch 2 requires accounting for the 3.18-to-10.6 difference — your OW2 sensitivity number will be approximately 3.33× smaller than your CS2 number to achieve the same physical feel.

The calculator automatically categorises your cm/360 result into one of five brackets that reflect how the sensitivity feels in practice. These aren't arbitrary labels — they correspond to real differences in muscle-memory requirements, mousepad size needs, and optimal playstyles.

Neither end of the spectrum is objectively superior. Professional players compete successfully across the full range — what matters is choosing a setting that minimises unintended lifts and fits your grip style (palm, claw, or fingertip) and the physical dimensions of your desk and mousepad. Most new competitive players benefit from starting in the medium range (35–50 cm) and adjusting from there based on how frequently they miss large swings versus small micro-corrections.

eDPI (effective DPI) is the product of your hardware DPI and your in-game sensitivity: eDPI = DPI × sensitivity. It collapses two independent variables into one number that describes your total sensitivity output without needing to know how the values are split between hardware and software.

eDPI is useful because it reveals whether two setups are actually identical in feel. A player running 400 DPI at sensitivity 4 and another running 1600 DPI at sensitivity 1 both have an eDPI of 1600, and — in CS2 — both produce exactly the same cm/360 result. The cm/360 metric is strictly equivalent information to eDPI when the game multiplier is known; the two numbers encode the same physical reality from different angles.

Professional CS2 players have historically clustered around eDPI values of 800–1200, which typically places cm/360 in the 35–65 cm range. Valorant pros often skew slightly higher eDPI due to the game's tighter movement model, while Overwatch players tend to quote raw sensitivity rather than eDPI because the much larger multiplier makes the eDPI numbers less intuitive for comparison.

When fine-tuning, change DPI and sensitivity together to preserve your eDPI — this lets you explore the feel differences of running higher DPI at lower in-game sensitivity (smoother polling, potential jitter reduction) versus lower DPI at higher in-game sensitivity (crisper steps on older hardware) without changing your actual aim feel.

The calculator operates in two modes. Calculate cm/360 mode takes your current DPI and in-game sensitivity and tells you the physical distance your mouse must travel for one full rotation, along with all derived figures. Find Sensitivity mode does the inverse — enter your target cm/360 and your DPI, and the calculator returns the exact in-game sensitivity value to enter.

To calculate your current cm/360: select your game from the dropdown, set DPI using the preset buttons or type a custom value, enter your in-game sensitivity, and read the result instantly. The result panel shows centimetres per 360, inches per 360, degrees per centimetre, degrees per inch, your eDPI, and a category label.

To find a required sensitivity: switch to "Find Sensitivity" mode, select your game, set your DPI, then type or tap a target cm/360 value. The calculator solves the formula in reverse and returns the sensitivity setting to four decimal places. Use all four decimal places — rounding to two can introduce a noticeable drift in feel over long sessions.

Changing games? Set the target to your current cm/360 (from "Calculate" mode in your original game), then switch the game dropdown to the new title in "Find Sensitivity" mode. The output is the sensitivity to enter in the new game for a perfectly matched feel. This workflow takes under thirty seconds and eliminates the trial-and-error that plagues most sensitivity transfers.
