Overwatch to Apex sensitivity converter
Enter your Overwatch 2 sensitivity and DPI to get the Apex Legends sens that turns the exact same distance. To convert by hand, divide your Overwatch sens by 3.3333 (or multiply by 0.3).
Formula
Overwatch to Apex formula
Apex sens = Overwatch sens × 0.3Overwatch 2 turns 0.0066° per mouse count at sensitivity 1; Apex Legends turns 0.022°. The ratio of the two, 0.0066 ÷ 0.022, 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.

Converting from
Sensitivity in Overwatch 2
Overwatch 2 shares its 0.0066° yaw with Call of Duty and Destiny 2, so values move between those three unchanged. Sensitivity can be overridden per hero, and scoped heroes such as Widowmaker and Ashe add Relative Aim Sensitivity While Zoomed (default 30%) on top.
- Where to set it
- Options → Controls → General → Mouse → Sensitivity
- Common range
- 4–7 at 800 DPI (25–43 cm/360°)
Converting to
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.

- Settings → Mouse/Keyboard → Mouse Sensitivity
- Common range
- 0.9–2 at 800 DPI (26–58 cm/360°)
Ranges compared
Where Overwatch players land in Apex
Competitive Overwatch players mostly use 4–7 at 800 DPI, which converts to Apex 1.2–2.1. Apex players typically sit at 0.9–2, so a typical Overwatch sens lands inside the usual Apex range once converted.
FAQ
Overwatch to Apex sens questions
How do I convert Overwatch sens to Apex?
To keep the same feel, divide your Overwatch sens by 3.3333 (or multiply by 0.3). At the same DPI, Overwatch 5 equals Apex 1.5. If you play Apex at a different DPI, enter both DPIs in the converter above and it compensates.
What is Overwatch 5 in Apex?
Overwatch 5 at 800 DPI is Apex 1.5 at 800 DPI (exactly 1.5). Both need 34.6 cm of mouse movement for a full 360° turn.
Is Overwatch sensitivity the same as Apex?
No. Overwatch turns 0.0066° per mouse count at sensitivity 1 and Apex turns 0.022°, so the same number in Apex is 3.33× faster. That is why you need to convert.
Where do I change sensitivity in Apex Legends?
Settings → Mouse/Keyboard → Mouse Sensitivity. Apex scopes use per-optic ADS multipliers on top of this value; this converts hipfire.
Why does Apex feel different at the converted sens?
The converted value matches your 360° distance exactly, but Overwatch and Apex 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.
