Formula
TF2 to Apex formula
Apex sens = TF2 sens × 1Team Fortress 2 turns 0.022° per mouse count at sensitivity 1; Apex Legends turns 0.022°. The ratio of the two, 0.022 ÷ 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 Team Fortress 2
Team Fortress 2 runs on the original Source engine with the classic 0.022° yaw shared by CS2 and Apex. Set m_rawinput 1 to bypass Windows pointer settings; fov_desired (up to 90) changes how fast things look on screen but not your 360° distance.

- Options → Mouse → Mouse sensitivity, or
sensitivityin the console - Common range
- 1.5–3.5 at 800 DPI (15–35 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.
- Where to set it
- Settings → Mouse/Keyboard → Mouse Sensitivity
- Common range
- 0.9–2 at 800 DPI (26–58 cm/360°)
Ranges compared
Where TF2 players land in Apex
Competitive TF2 players mostly use 1.5–3.5 at 800 DPI, which converts to Apex 1.5–3.5. Apex players typically sit at 0.9–2, so most TF2 players land on the fast side in Apex. Plenty keep it that way: your muscle memory matters more than matching everyone else.
FAQ
TF2 to Apex sens questions
How do I convert TF2 sens to Apex?
You don’t need to: at the same DPI, Team Fortress 2 and Apex Legends use the same yaw (0.022° per count), so your TF2 sensitivity carries over unchanged. If you use a different DPI, enter both in the converter above.
What is TF2 2 in Apex?
TF2 2 at 800 DPI is Apex 2 at 800 DPI (exactly 2). Both need 26 cm of mouse movement for a full 360° turn.
Is TF2 sensitivity the same as Apex?
Yes. Both games turn 0.022° per mouse count at sensitivity 1, so the same number turns the same distance.
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 TF2 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.
