1. What Is The CS2 Sensitivity Formula?

The CS2 sensitivity formula calculates equivalent mouse sensitivity when changing DPI (dots per inch) settings. It ensures consistent mouse movement feel across different DPI configurations.

2. How Does The Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the sensitivity conversion formula:

Where:

• \( Old Sensitivity \) — Your current sensitivity setting (unitless)
• \( Old DPI \) — Your current mouse DPI setting
• \( New DPI \) — Your desired mouse DPI setting

Explanation: This formula maintains the same physical mouse movement distance for a given in-game rotation when changing DPI settings.

3. Importance Of Sensitivity Calculation

Details: Accurate sensitivity conversion is crucial for maintaining muscle memory and consistent aiming performance when changing hardware or DPI settings.

4. Using The Calculator

Tips: Enter your current sensitivity, current DPI, and desired DPI. All values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is sensitivity conversion important?
A: It maintains consistent mouse feel across different DPI settings, preserving muscle memory and aiming accuracy.

Q2: What is DPI and how does it affect sensitivity?
A: DPI (dots per inch) measures how many pixels the cursor moves per inch of physical mouse movement. Higher DPI means more cursor movement per physical movement.

Q3: Should I use high or low DPI for gaming?
A: This is personal preference. Many competitive players use 400-1600 DPI with adjusted in-game sensitivity for optimal control.

Q4: Does this formula work for all games?
A: While the basic principle applies to most FPS games, some games may have different sensitivity scaling that requires additional adjustments.

Q5: How precise should my sensitivity settings be?
A: For competitive gaming, precision to 2-4 decimal places is recommended for fine-tuning and consistency.
