CS2 to Valorant Sensitivity Guide
Converting sensitivity from CS2 to Valorant is the most popular conversion among tactical shooter players. Both games reward precise crosshair placement, counter-strafing discipline, and one-tap headshots. The conversion multiplier from CS2 to Valorant is 0.314, meaning your Valorant sensitivity number will always be roughly one third of your CS2 value.
For example, a CS2 sensitivity of 2.0 converts to 0.628 in Valorant. A CS2 sensitivity of 1.0 becomes 0.314 in Valorant. The mathematics ensure that the same physical mouse movement produces identical crosshair rotation in both games.
Why CS2 and Valorant Use Different Scales
Valorant runs on the Unreal Engine while CS2 uses Source 2. Each engine translates raw mouse input into camera rotation using its own internal formula. Riot Games chose a sensitivity scale where values are roughly three times more potent per unit compared to CS2. Common Valorant sensitivity values tend to be between 0.2 and 0.8, whereas CS2 players usually set between 0.7 and 2.5.
A common mistake when switching from CS2 to Valorant is using the same number in both games. Playing Valorant at 2.0 sensitivity when your CS2 sensitivity is 2.0 would make your aim approximately three times faster than intended. Always use a proper converter to avoid this.

Popular CS2 to Valorant Conversions
At 800 DPI, the most popular DPI setting, here are common conversions. A CS2 sensitivity of 0.80 converts to approximately 0.251 in Valorant. At 1.50 in CS2, the Valorant equivalent is 0.471. At 400 DPI with 2.0 sensitivity, you get the same conversion ratio but a higher cm/360 distance.
The grid above contains links to detailed conversion pages for every sensitivity from 0.40 to 2.50 at four common DPI values. Each page includes the converted sensitivity, eDPI, cm/360 distance, and contextual information about where that sensitivity falls in the competitive spectrum.
Adjusting After Conversion
While the mathematical conversion is exact, some players feel that Valorant plays slightly differently than CS2 even at matched sensitivity. This is often due to field of view differences or input processing. If you want to fine-tune after converting, keep adjustments small, no more than 0.01 to 0.02 in Valorant sensitivity. Large changes defeat the purpose of converting in the first place.
Transferring Skills Between CS2 and Valorant
CS2 and Valorant share more mechanical fundamentals than any other pair of competitive shooters. Crosshair placement, counter-strafing, burst control, angle holding, and peek timing all transfer directly. Matched sensitivity is the foundation that makes this transfer possible.
Professional players who compete in both games universally ensure their sensitivity is matched. The time you spend warming up in CS2 deathmatch directly improves your Valorant aim when your sensitivity conversion is correct.
