CS:GO at 3200 DPI — 30 cm/360° is sensitivity 0.433
In CS:GO at 3200 DPI, 30 cm/360° comes out at sensitivity 0.433, an eDPI of 1385. It follows from the game constant 0.022 through 2.54 × 360 ÷ (constant × sensitivity × DPI), and the table below works the same formula for eight rows from 20 cm to 60 cm.

A sensitivity number means something different in every game: 0.4 is slow in one and fast in another. The distance your hand pushes to spin 360°, on the other hand, is a physical quantity and means the same thing everywhere. So this table takes 20 cm to 60 cm as its axis and solves for the sensitivity. Twenty centimetres is the wrist-only fast end, sixty is the arm-driven slow end, and most players sit inside that range. No sensitivity values are written down anywhere, because a written table turns false the moment a game changes its slider.

A cm/360° figure is really a count of mouse steps
Every game fixes, as a constant, how many degrees one mouse count turns the view — its yaw. The Source family exposes it directly as the default of the console variable m_yaw, 0.022; VALORANT uses 0.07 and Overwatch 0.0066. Turning a full 360° therefore takes 360 ÷ (yaw × sensitivity) counts, and since DPI is how many counts come out of one inch of movement, the distance is that count ÷ DPI inches. Converting to centimetres gives cm/360° = 2.54 × 360 ÷ (yaw × sensitivity × DPI). The Source family at 400 DPI and sensitivity 2.0 comes out at 51.95 cm, a widely published figure, which makes it a good place to check the arithmetic from the outside.
eDPI is DPI multiplied by sensitivity
Within one game, equal eDPI means equal cm/360°. 800 DPI at sensitivity 1.0 and 1600 DPI at 0.5 are both eDPI 800, and your hand travels the same distance to the millimetre — that is all "double the DPI, halve the sensitivity" means. Put it through the formula and eDPI = 2.54 × 360 ÷ (yaw × cm), with DPI gone entirely: for a given target distance the eDPI is one number at every DPI. What eDPI cannot do is cross games. With a different yaw, the same eDPI turns a different distance.
What this leaves out
If mouse acceleration is on — Windows “enhance pointer precision” or an in-game equivalent — the distance you turn depends on how fast you move, and this table does not apply. A pointer speed away from the operating system default adds its own multiplier. Aim-down-sights and scope multipliers are separate settings and are not here: these are hipfire numbers. Games whose sensitivity is tied to field of view, such as Rainbow Six Siege, do not reduce to a single constant and are left out, and so are Fortnite, Call of Duty, Battlefield and PUBG, whose scaling could not be confirmed. Publishing an unverified constant would wreck the aim of whoever trusted it. Sliders also differ in minimum, maximum and step, so a computed value is not always one you can actually type in.
After a change, the hand has to relearn
Typing the number takes seconds; getting your hand to trust the new distance takes days. Run an aim drill first to see whether you overshoot or undershoot at the new setting, then try one row up or down from the table.

Sensitivity by DPI
From this game to the others
3200 DPI
Worth knowing
- cm/360° = 2.54 × 360 ÷ (game constant × sensitivity × DPI). The constant is 0.022 for the Source family, 0.07 for VALORANT and 0.0066 for Overwatch.
- eDPI = DPI × sensitivity. Inside one game, equal eDPI means equal distance — double the DPI and halve the sensitivity and nothing moves.
- The multiplier between games is the ratio of the constants: sens_B = sens_A × yaw_A ÷ yaw_B. Convert back and the original number returns.
- Every sensitivity here is solved backwards from a target cm/360°. Mouse acceleration, aim multipliers and the OS pointer speed are not included.
Common questions
Q. What sensitivity gives 30 cm/360° in CS:GO at 3200 DPI?
0.433. That is an eDPI of 1385, and a full turn costs 37795 mouse counts.
Q. What happens to the sensitivity if I change DPI?
Holding the same 30 cm/360°, 400 DPI wants 3.464 and 3200 DPI wants 0.433. Divide the sensitivity by whatever you multiplied the DPI by; the eDPI of 1385 is the same at every DPI.
Q. Can I type this sensitivity straight into another game?
Only into games with the same constant. CS:GO uses 0.022, so moving to a game with a different constant means multiplying by the ratio of the two — the conversion list above gives that multiplier for every game.
