1. What is Sensitivity Conversion?

Sensitivity conversion calculates equivalent mouse sensitivity when changing DPI (dots per inch) settings. This ensures consistent aiming feel across different DPI configurations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the sensitivity conversion formula:

Where:

• \( new_{sens} \) — New sensitivity value
• \( old_{sens} \) — Original sensitivity value
• \( old_{dpi} \) — Original DPI setting
• \( new_{dpi} \) — New DPI setting

Explanation: The formula maintains the same physical mouse movement distance for a given in-game rotation regardless of DPI changes.

3. Importance of Sensitivity Conversion

Details: Consistent sensitivity is crucial for muscle memory development in aiming. Proper conversion ensures your aiming performance remains stable when changing hardware settings.

4. Using the Calculator

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

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why convert sensitivity when changing DPI?
A: To maintain the same cm/360° (or inch/360°) measurement, ensuring consistent muscle memory for aiming.

Q2: Does this work for all games?
A: Yes, the conversion is game-agnostic as it's based on the mouse hardware settings.

Q3: What if my game has different sensitivity scales?
A: The converted sensitivity might need minor adjustments due to different game engines handling sensitivity differently.

Q4: Should I change DPI or in-game sensitivity?
A: Generally better to use native DPI (usually multiples of 400) and adjust in-game sensitivity for optimal sensor performance.

Q5: How precise should my sensitivity be?
A: Most games support 2 decimal places for sensitivity, but some professional players use up to 4 decimal places for fine-tuning.
