How do I convert Apex sensitivity to Overwatch 2?
To convert Apex sensitivity to Overwatch 2, multiply it by 3.3333. Apex turns 0.022° per mouse count and Overwatch 2 turns 0.0066°, so Apex 1.5 becomes Overwatch 2 5. 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 3.3333, or type it into the converter above with your DPI.
- In Overwatch 2, open Options → Controls → General → Sensitivity and enter the result.
- Keep the same mouse DPI, or enter your new DPI in the converter.
Going the other way, a typical Overwatch 2 setting of 5 is Apex 1.5, or 34.6 cm per 360° at 800 DPI.

Why Apex and Overwatch 2 numbers differ
Apex Legends runs on Source (modified) and Overwatch 2 on Blizzard proprietary engine. Overwatch 2 numbers are 3.33× larger than Apex numbers for the same hand movement, because Overwatch 2 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. Check Overwatch 2’s own zoom settings.
- 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 Overwatch 2?
Apex 1.5 is Overwatch 2 5 at the same DPI. Both are 34.6 cm per 360° at 800 DPI.
What is the Overwatch 2 to Apex multiplier?
Multiply Overwatch 2 sensitivity by 0.3 to get Apex. Use the Overwatch 2 to Apex converter for the full chart.
Does DPI change the Apex to Overwatch 2 multiplier?
No. The ×3.3333 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 Overwatch 2?
Go to Options → Controls → General → Sensitivity. Overwatch 2 kept the 0.0066 yaw from the original Overwatch, so old Overwatch settings still apply.
