Converting VALORANT sensitivity to CS2: A guide

If you play VALORANT and want to try your skills in CS2, one of the first things you need to do before joining a match is convert your VALORANT mouse sensitivity to CS2.

The metrics used for VALORANT’s sensitivity are different than those in CS2, so you can’t use the same number for both. However, if you convert your VALORANT sensitivity, you’ll aim perfectly in CS2.

How to Convert VALORANT Sensitivity to CS2

Getting Your VALORANT Sensitivity

There are two easy methods to convert your VALORANT sensitivity to CS2. First, you need to know your mouse sensitivity in VALORANT. Launch Riot Games’ FPS and follow these steps to get the exact number:

  1. Enter the Settings menu.
  2. Go to the “General” tab and find the “Mouse” section.
  3. Your VALORANT sensitivity is the number next to “Sensitivity: Aim.”

Converting VALORANT Sensitivity to CS2

Now, you can either convert your VALORANT sensitivity to CS2 manually or use a third-party website.

  • To manually convert your VALORANT sensitivity to CS2, multiply that number by 3.18 in a physical or digital calculator. For example, if your VALORANT sensitivity is 0.221, then your CS2 sensitivity will be 0.70.
  • If you don’t wish to calculate it yourself, head to this third-party website and insert your VALORANT sensitivity so the website can convert it for you.

Adding the Converted Sensitivity to CS2

Now that you have the right number, all you need to do is change your CS2 sensitivity accordingly. Here’s how you do it:

  1. Launch CS2.
  2. Open the game’s console with “`” or whatever key you attributed to this function. If the game’s console is disabled, enable it in CS2’s settings.
  3. Type “sensitivity Number” to change your CS2 sensitivity. Replace “Number” with the converted sensitivity from VALORANT.

Why Is Mouse Sensitivity Important to CS2?

First of all, there’s no right sensitivity. You’ll have to find one that makes you comfortable. Some players prefer low sensitivity for easier aiming and adjustments, while others, including pros, use high sensitivity.

The best thing you can do is pick one sensitivity and then adjust as needed. The more you play with the same sensitivity, the more you’ll get used to it, and your aim will improve. If you’re new to the game, it’s recommended to check what sensitivity and other settings the pros use. S1mple and ropz are two of the best CS:GO pros of all time and have played a lot of CS2.
