How to Convert Valorant Sensitivity to CSGO / CS2

Switching between Valorant and CS:GO/CS2 can be jarring when your muscle memory feels completely off. The good news? You can maintain consistent aim across both games by properly converting your sensitivity settings. This guide will walk you through the exact process to match your Valorant sensitivity in CS:GO or CS2.

Understanding the Sensitivity Difference

Valorant and CS:GO/CS2 handle sensitivity differently due to their distinct FOV (Field of View) settings and sensitivity scaling. While both games use similar underlying mechanics, the conversion isn't as simple as copying and pasting your sensitivity value.

Key differences:

• Valorant uses a default FOV of 103 (horizontal)
• CS:GO/CS2 uses a default FOV of 90 (horizontal)
• The sensitivity scaling formulas differ between the games

The Conversion Formula

To convert from Valorant to CS:GO/CS2, use this formula:

CS:GO/CS2 Sensitivity = Valorant Sensitivity × 3.18

This multiplier accounts for the FOV differences and sensitivity scaling between the games, ensuring your 360-degree turn distance remains consistent.

Step-by-Step Conversion Process

Method 1: Quick Calculation

1. Find your current Valorant sensitivity

   • Open Valorant and go to Settings → Controls
   • Note your "Sensitivity" value

2. Apply the conversion formula

   • Multiply your Valorant sensitivity by 3.18
   • Example: If your Valorant sens is 0.5, your CS2 sens would be 0.5 × 3.18 = 1.59

3. Set your new CS:GO/CS2 sensitivity

   • Open CS:GO/CS2 console (press ~)
   • Type: sensitivity [your calculated value]
   • Example: sensitivity 1.59

Method 2: Using Online Calculators

Several reliable online sensitivity converters can do the math for you:

• Mouse-sensitivity.com - Comprehensive converter for multiple games
• Aiming.pro - Popular among professional players
• GamingSmart calculator - Simple and accurate conversion tool

Simply input your Valorant sensitivity, select CS:GO/CS2 as the target game, and copy the result.

Fine-Tuning Your Sensitivity

After applying the converted sensitivity, you might need minor adjustments based on personal preference:

Testing Your Conversion

1. 360-degree test

   • Measure how much mouse pad distance it takes to do a full 360° turn in Valorant
   • Compare this with CS:GO/CS2 using your converted sensitivity
   • They should be nearly identical

2. Aim training maps

   • Use aim training maps like Aim Botz in CS:GO/CS2
   • Practice flick shots and tracking to ensure the sensitivity feels natural

3. Micro-adjustments

   • If the sensitivity feels slightly off, adjust in small increments (±0.1)
   • Remember that small differences can significantly impact your aim

Important Considerations

DPI Settings

Make sure your mouse DPI is identical in both games. The conversion formula assumes the same DPI setting. If you use different DPI values, you'll need to factor that into your calculation:

Adjusted formula: CS:GO Sens = (Valorant Sens × Valorant DPI × 3.18) ÷ CS:GO DPI

Mouse Acceleration

Ensure mouse acceleration is disabled in both games and your Windows settings. Acceleration will throw off the conversion and create inconsistent aim patterns.

Polling Rate and Other Settings

Keep these mouse settings consistent:

• Polling rate (typically 1000Hz)
• Mouse acceleration (disabled)
• Enhanced pointer precision (disabled in Windows)

Professional Player Examples

Many pro players maintain consistent sensitivity across games. Here are some conversion examples:

• TenZ (Valorant): 0.237 sens → CS2: ~0.75 sens
• s1mple (CS:GO): 3.09 sens → Valorant: ~0.97 sens

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Sensitivity Feels Too High/Low

If your converted sensitivity doesn't feel right:

1. Double-check your DPI settings are identical
2. Verify mouse acceleration is disabled
3. Consider that different game mechanics might require slight adjustments
4. Some players prefer slightly different sensitivities for different game styles

Inconsistent Performance

• Practice extensively with the new sensitivity before making changes
• Use aim trainers like Kovaak's or Aim Lab to build muscle memory
• Be patient - adjustment can take several days of regular play

Advanced Tips

eDPI Calculation

Some players prefer using eDPI (effective DPI) for more precise comparisons:

eDPI = DPI × In-game Sensitivity

This method helps when comparing setups across different hardware configurations.

Scoped Sensitivity

Don't forget to adjust your scoped sensitivity ratios if you use snipers in both games. The conversion formula applies to both regular and scoped sensitivity.

Conclusion

Converting your Valorant sensitivity to CS:GO/CS2 is straightforward once you understand the relationship between the games. The key is using the correct multiplier (3.18) and ensuring all other mouse settings remain consistent. Remember that perfect conversion is just the starting point - fine-tuning based on your playstyle and comfort is equally important.

Take time to practice with your converted sensitivity before making additional adjustments. With consistent practice, you'll maintain your aim skills across both games and might even find improvements in your overall FPS performance.

Quick reference: Valorant Sensitivity × 3.18 = CS:GO/CS2 Sensitivity

Happy fragging!
