How to convert mouse sensitivity from CS:GO to VALORANT

Maintaining constant sensitivity is one of the keys to developing the muscle memory necessary for accurate shooting. There's probably no point in talking about the impact of mouse sensitivity on gameplay performance. However, with the release of VALORANT, many people have asked themselves how they can transfer sensitivity from CS:GO without sacrificing shooting performance, and how they can quickly adapt to a new game. In this article, you'll learn how to convert CS:GO mouse sensitivity to VALORANT and why you need to do so.

How to convert mouse sensitivity settings from CS:GO to VALORANT

First of all, we have to understand that the sensitivity is affected not only by the specific setting in the game itself, but also by your mouse settings. So, we should leave our DPI unchanged when we switch from one game to another and also set a similar number when we change the gaming mouse.

Now let's go straight to the sensitivity setting itself when converting CS:GO to VALORANT. Initially, we should remember that the parameter differs from game to game. In this case, the FOV in CS:GO is 90 degrees, while VALORANT is 103 degrees. This very difference in visual perspective is why the sensitivity in CS:GO is different from the one presented in VALORANT.

To convert the mouse sensitivity from CS:GO to VALORANT, we can use the following formula:

Sensitivity in CS:GO/ 3.18 = Sensitivity in VALORANT.

There are also plenty of online calculators on the web that can automatically convert and present the sensitivity you need when switching to VALORANT.

Why do I need to change my mouse sensitivity?

As mentioned above, each game offers a different FOV value. This changes the perception and the muvement itself, which over time become embedded in your muscle memory. If you're going to develop your skills in both games at once, you'll have to step over yourself and face challenges with each transition.

In other words, every change in sensitivity entails a loss of focus and aim control. Given the difference between CS:GO and VALORANT, this factor can greatly affect your accuracy. If you've developed one style of mouse control over the years, it can be quite difficult to retrain in a few hours.

So picking the right sensitivity when switching from CS:GO to VALORANT is the obvious way to go. By adjusting the setting to your own liking, you can even out the differences in feel between the two games, and put aside any inconvenience of adjusting the right setting.
