How do I convert Apex sensitivity to Fortnite?
To convert Apex sensitivity to Fortnite, multiply it by 3.9604. Apex turns 0.022° per mouse count and Fortnite turns 0.005555°, so Apex 1.5 becomes Fortnite 5.94%. Keep the same DPI and both settings take 34.6 cm of mouse movement for a full turn.
- Find your Apex sensitivity in Settings → Mouse / Keyboard → Mouse Sensitivity.
- Multiply it by 3.9604, or type it into the converter above with your DPI.
- In Fortnite, open Settings → Mouse & Keyboard → Mouse Sensitivity X and Mouse Sensitivity Y (set both to the same value) and enter the result as a percentage.
- Keep the same mouse DPI, or enter your new DPI in the converter.
Going the other way, a typical Fortnite setting of 6.5% is Apex 1.641, or 31.7 cm per 360° at 800 DPI.

Why Apex and Fortnite numbers differ
Apex Legends runs on Source (modified) and Fortnite on Unreal Engine 5. Fortnite numbers are 3.96× larger than Apex numbers for the same hand movement, because Fortnite turns less per mouse count.
Apex shares the Source-engine 0.022 yaw, so hipfire sensitivity is identical to CS2. ADS uses separate per-optic multipliers. Apex Legends grew out of the engine Respawn built for Titanfall 2, a heavily modified version of Source, which is why it kept Source’s 0.022 yaw.
Why does my converted sensitivity feel different?
- Field of view: a wider FOV makes the screen appear to move slower even at the same cm/360.
- Scoped and ADS aim: this matches hipfire only. Fortnite shows sensitivity as a percentage. Targeting and scope sensitivity are separate percentages on top of it.
- Mouse acceleration: if Windows acceleration or a mouse app adds it, the same movement turns a different amount depending on speed. Turn it off.
Frequently asked questions
What is Apex 1.5 in Fortnite?
Apex 1.5 is Fortnite 5.94% at the same DPI. Both are 34.6 cm per 360° at 800 DPI.
What is the Fortnite to Apex multiplier?
Multiply Fortnite sensitivity by 0.2525 to get Apex. Use the Fortnite to Apex converter for the full chart.
Does DPI change the Apex to Fortnite multiplier?
No. The ×3.9604 multiplier holds at any DPI as long as you use the same DPI in both games. If you change DPI, divide by the ratio of new DPI to old DPI, or enter both values in the converter.
Where do I change sensitivity in Fortnite?
Go to Settings → Mouse & Keyboard → Mouse Sensitivity X and Mouse Sensitivity Y (set both to the same value). Fortnite shows sensitivity as a percentage. Targeting and scope sensitivity are separate percentages on top of it.
