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.

- 1.5–3.5 at 800 DPI (15–35 cm/360°)
Converting to
Sensitivity in Deadlock
Deadlock is Valve’s Source 2 hero shooter with an over-the-shoulder camera. Its 0.044° yaw is exactly double CS2’s, so the quick manual conversion is to halve your CS2 value. The competitive scene is still young, so its common range mostly reflects CS2 players who moved over.

Ranges compared
Where TF2 players land in Deadlock
Competitive TF2 players mostly use 1.5–3.5 at 800 DPI, which converts to Deadlock 0.75–1.75. Deadlock players typically sit at 0.5–1, so most TF2 players land on the fast side in Deadlock. Plenty keep it that way: your muscle memory matters more than matching everyone else.
FAQ
TF2 to Deadlock sens questions
How do I convert TF2 sens to Deadlock?
To keep the same feel, divide your TF2 sens by 2 (or multiply by 0.5). At the same DPI, TF2 2 equals Deadlock 1. If you play Deadlock at a different DPI, enter both DPIs in the converter above and it compensates.
What is TF2 2 in Deadlock?
TF2 2 at 800 DPI is Deadlock 1 at 800 DPI (exactly 1). Both need 26 cm of mouse movement for a full 360° turn.
Is TF2 sensitivity the same as Deadlock?
No. TF2 turns 0.022° per mouse count at sensitivity 1 and Deadlock turns 0.044°, so the same number in Deadlock is 2× faster. That is why you need to convert.
Where do I change sensitivity in Deadlock?
Settings → Mouse → Sensitivity.
Why does Deadlock feel different at the converted sens?
The converted value matches your 360° distance exactly, but TF2 and Deadlock 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.
