Overwatch 2 eDPI Calculator — Effective DPI and cm/360
Overwatch 2 has a fast movement game and a 1–100 sensitivity scale that is finer than most shooters. This page converts it to eDPI and cm/360 and to the other big shooters, so a sens you liked elsewhere can be reproduced exactly.
Part of the eDPI Calculator.
Quick answer: eDPI = DPI × sensitivity, cm/360 = 360 ÷ (sensitivity × DPI × 0.0066). Overwatch players typically use 3–8 sensitivity at 800 DPI, which is about 15–25 cm per 360° — noticeably faster than tactical shooters.
Typical: 1–100
Individual hero sensitivities can override the global value; the conversion uses the global sensitivity.
| Game | Yaw (deg/count) | Sensitivity for the same cm/360 | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Counter-Strike 2 | 0.022 | 1.5000 | high |
| Valorant | 0.07 | 0.4714 | high |
| Apex Legends | 0.022 | 1.5000 | high |
| Overwatch 2 | 0.0066 | 5.0000 | high |
| Team Fortress 2 | 0.022 | 1.5000 | high |
| Quake Live | 0.022 | 1.5000 | high |
| Fortnite | 0.005555 | 5.9406 | medium |
| Rainbow Six Siege | 0.00572957795130823 | 5.7596 | medium |
| Call of Duty: Warzone | 0.0066 | 5.0000 | medium |
| Yaw constant used | 0.0066 degrees per count (high confidence — documented, not estimated) |
|---|---|
| In-game control | Sensitivity (1–100 in game) |
| Typical range | Most players land between 2400 and 6400 eDPI (800 DPI with sensitivity 3–8). |
| Caveat | Individual hero sensitivities can override the global value; the conversion uses the global sensitivity. |
How the Overwatch 2 numbers are calculated
The classic rule of thumb is that Overwatch sensitivity is roughly 3.33× the CS2 value for the same feel; the converter computes the exact figure.
Keeping the same feel when you change DPI
Your cm/360 only changes if DPI × sensitivity changes. If you raise DPI from 400 to 800, halve the in-game sensitivity and your turning distance stays identical — the calculator will show the same cm/360 for both setups, which is the quickest way to confirm you have compensated correctly.
When to use this test
- Copying a Overwatch 2 sensitivity from a video or a friend's setup into your own mouse settings
- Comparing your Overwatch 2 setup with players who report DPI only, or eDPI only
- Moving to Overwatch 2 from another shooter without losing your turn distance
- Checking whether your sensitivity sits inside the range most Overwatch 2 players use
