Apex to R6 Siege sensitivity converter
Enter your Apex Legends sensitivity and DPI to get the Rainbow Six Siege sens that turns the exact same distance. To convert by hand, multiply your Apex sens by 3.8397.
Formula
Apex to R6 Siege formula
R6 Siege sens = Apex sens × 3.839724Apex Legends turns 0.022° per mouse count at sensitivity 1; Rainbow Six Siege turns 0.00572958°. The ratio of the two, 0.022 ÷ 0.00572958, is the multiplier. It holds at any DPI as long as you use the same DPI in both games.
Apex: Apex scopes use per-optic ADS multipliers on top of this value; this converts hipfire.
R6 Siege: Assumes the default MouseSensitivityMultiplierUnit of 0.02 in GameSettings.ini. Siege only accepts whole numbers.

Converting from
Sensitivity in Apex Legends
Apex Legends runs on a heavily modified Source engine and shares CS2’s 0.022° yaw, so the same number turns the same distance in both. The FOV slider does not change hipfire turn speed, but ADS speed follows each optic’s zoom and can be tuned per optic once hipfire is set.
- Where to set it
- Settings → Mouse/Keyboard → Mouse Sensitivity
- Common range
- 0.9–2 at 800 DPI (26–58 cm/360°)
Converting to
Sensitivity in Rainbow Six Siege
Also applies to Siege X
Rainbow Six Siege splits sensitivity into separate horizontal and vertical sliders; keep both equal so vertical aim matches. ADS speed is set per zoom level, and the FOV slider does not change hipfire turn speed.
- Where to set it
- Options → Controls → Mouse → Mouse Sensitivity Horizontal / Vertical
- Common range
- 5–10 at 800 DPI (20–40 cm/360°)
Ranges compared
Where Apex players land in R6 Siege
Competitive Apex players mostly use 0.9–2 at 800 DPI, which converts to R6 Siege 3–8. R6 Siege players typically sit at 5–10, so a typical Apex sens lands inside the usual R6 Siege range once converted.
FAQ
Apex to R6 Siege sens questions
How do I convert Apex sens to R6 Siege?
To keep the same feel, multiply your Apex sens by 3.8397. At the same DPI, Apex 1.5 equals R6 Siege 6. If you play R6 Siege at a different DPI, enter both DPIs in the converter above and it compensates.
What is Apex 1.5 in R6 Siege?
Apex 1.5 at 800 DPI is R6 Siege 6 at 800 DPI (exactly 5.75959). Both need 34.6 cm of mouse movement for a full 360° turn.
Is Apex sensitivity the same as R6 Siege?
No. Apex turns 0.022° per mouse count at sensitivity 1 and R6 Siege turns 0.00573°, so the same number in R6 Siege is 3.84× slower. That is why you need to convert.
Where do I change sensitivity in Rainbow Six Siege?
Options → Controls → Mouse → Mouse Sensitivity Horizontal / Vertical. Assumes the default MouseSensitivityMultiplierUnit of 0.02 in GameSettings.ini. Siege only accepts whole numbers.
Why does R6 Siege feel different at the converted sens?
The converted value matches your 360° distance exactly, but Apex and R6 Siege use different fields of view and camera setups, so targets can appear to move at a different speed on screen. Make sure mouse acceleration is off in both games and in Windows, then give it a few sessions before tweaking.
