Overwatch 2 and Apex values cross-checked against independent sources on 20 October 2026.
How do I convert Overwatch 2 sensitivity to Apex?
To convert Overwatch 2 sensitivity to Apex, multiply it by 0.3. Overwatch 2 turns 0.0066° per mouse count and Apex turns 0.022°, so Overwatch 2 5 becomes Apex 1.5. Keep the same DPI and both settings take 34.6 cm of mouse movement for a full turn.
- Find your Overwatch 2 sensitivity in Options → Controls → General → Sensitivity.
- Multiply it by 0.3, or type it into the converter above with your DPI.
- In Apex Legends, open Settings → Mouse / Keyboard → Mouse Sensitivity and enter the result.
- Keep the same mouse DPI, or enter your new DPI in the converter.
Going the other way, a typical Apex setting of 1.5 is Overwatch 2 5, or 34.6 cm per 360° at 800 DPI.

Why Overwatch 2 and Apex numbers differ
Overwatch 2 runs on Blizzard proprietary engine and Apex Legends on Source (modified). Apex numbers are 3.33× smaller than Overwatch 2 numbers for the same hand movement, because Apex turns more per mouse count.
Overwatch 2 kept the 0.0066 yaw from the original Overwatch, so old Overwatch settings still apply. 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. Apex shares the Source-engine 0.022 yaw, so hipfire sensitivity is identical to CS2. ADS uses separate per-optic multipliers.
- 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 Overwatch 2 5 in Apex?
Overwatch 2 5 is Apex 1.5 at the same DPI. Both are 34.6 cm per 360° at 800 DPI.
What is the Apex to Overwatch 2 multiplier?
Multiply Apex sensitivity by 3.3333 to get Overwatch 2. Use the Apex to Overwatch 2 converter for the full chart.
Does DPI change the Overwatch 2 to Apex multiplier?
No. The ×0.3 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 Apex Legends?
Go to Settings → Mouse / Keyboard → Mouse Sensitivity. Apex shares the Source-engine 0.022 yaw, so hipfire sensitivity is identical to CS2. ADS uses separate per-optic multipliers.
