Overwatch 2 eDPI Calculator
How to use it: Overwatch 2 is already selected on this page and the sensitivity box starts at 4.24. Type your mouse DPI (or tap 400, 800, 1600 or 3200), then your Overwatch 2 Sensitivity. You get your eDPI, your cm/360 and in/360, and the matching sensitivity for Valorant, CS2 and Apex Legends.
This Overwatch 2 eDPI calculator multiplies your mouse DPI by your Overwatch 2 sensitivity, so 800 DPI at a sensitivity of 5 gives 4,000 eDPI. It also shows how far your mouse travels for a full 360 degree turn (34.6 cm at 4,000 eDPI) and the sensitivity that gives the same feel in Valorant, CS2 and Apex Legends.
eDPI, short for effective DPI, is the one number that describes your real aiming speed. 400 DPI at 8 and 800 DPI at 4 are both 3,200 eDPI, and both turn your hero exactly the same distance for the same hand movement. That is why Overwatch players compare eDPI rather than sensitivity alone.
How to use the Overwatch 2 eDPI calculator
- Check that the Overwatch 2 button is highlighted in the game row. It is selected for you on this page, and the sensitivity box starts at 4.24.
- Enter your Mouse DPI. The box starts at 800, or keeps the DPI you last typed on any of our eDPI pages. The quick buttons fill in 400, 800, 1600 or 3200.
- Type your Overwatch 2 sensitivity into In-game sensitivity exactly as the game shows it, for example 4 or 5.5.
- Read the first tile. That is your Overwatch 2 eDPI, and it updates as you type.
- Read cm / 360° and in / 360° for your turn distance, then the Same feel in other games list for Valorant, CS2 and Apex Legends.
Your game, DPI and sensitivity are saved in this browser on this device, and nothing is uploaded. When you open this page again the sensitivity goes back to 4.24, so type yours in again before you compare. The starting value of 4.24 is simply the Overwatch 2 equivalent of Valorant 0.4 at the same DPI.
How to calculate eDPI in Overwatch 2
Overwatch 2 eDPI is your mouse DPI multiplied by your in-game Sensitivity:
Overwatch 2 eDPI = DPI x sensitivity
So 800 DPI at 4 is 3,200 eDPI, 800 DPI at 6 is 4,800, and 1600 DPI at 2.5 is 4,000. Corsair’s Overwatch 2 calculator uses the same example of 800 DPI at 6 for 4,800 eDPI. The multiplication is the same in most shooters. What changes from game to game is how far the camera turns for each count your mouse sends, so an Overwatch 2 eDPI only lines up directly with other Overwatch players. For the general idea, read eDPI explained.
These are the values the calculator returns for some common setups.
| Setup | eDPI | cm/360 |
|---|---|---|
| 800 DPI x 3 | 2,400 | 57.7 cm |
| 800 DPI x 4 | 3,200 | 43.3 cm |
| 800 DPI x 4.24 | 3,392 | 40.8 cm |
| 800 DPI x 5 | 4,000 | 34.6 cm |
| 1600 DPI x 2.5 | 4,000 | 34.6 cm |
| 800 DPI x 6 | 4,800 | 28.9 cm |
| 800 DPI x 8 | 6,400 | 21.6 cm |
800 DPI at 5 and 1600 DPI at 2.5 land on the same 4,000 eDPI and the same 34.6 cm. The parts differ, the feel is identical.
Why Overwatch 2 eDPI numbers are so high
Overwatch 2 turns only 0.0066 degrees per mouse count at sensitivity 1. CS2 and Apex Legends turn 0.022 degrees and Valorant turns 0.07, according to the yaw values listed by CSDB, and the calculator uses exactly those numbers. Because each count moves the camera less, Overwatch 2 needs a sensitivity about 3.33 times higher than CS2 for the same hand movement.
That is why 4,000 eDPI is a perfectly normal Overwatch 2 setting while 4,000 eDPI in CS2 would be extremely fast. When you compare your aim across games, compare cm/360, not eDPI. CSDB also lists 0.0066 for Call of Duty, so the Call of Duty sensitivity and eDPI page uses numbers on a similar scale.
Where to find your Overwatch 2 sensitivity and DPI
Your sensitivity lives in Overwatch 2, your DPI lives on the mouse.
- In Overwatch 2, open Options.
- Go to the Controls tab.
- With the general settings for all heroes selected, find Sensitivity in the mouse settings. Corsair’s guide lists it as General, Mouse, Sensitivity: Aim. That is the number to type into the calculator.
- If you choose a single hero in the same menu, you can give that hero a different sensitivity. The calculator works with whichever value you actually play with.
Your DPI is set in the mouse’s own software or with a button on the mouse. Many mice switch DPI stages with one press, so it is easy to change it by accident, and the real value the sensor sends can differ a little from the number on the box. If you are not sure, measure it with the mouse DPI analyzer before you trust the result.
Overwatch 2 cm/360 and what it means
cm/360 is how far your mouse moves across the pad for one full turn. The calculator works it out like this:
inches per 360 = 360 / (0.0066 x eDPI), and cm = inches x 2.54
That is roughly 138,545 divided by your eDPI for centimetres. 2,400 eDPI is 57.7 cm, 3,200 eDPI is 43.3 cm and 4,800 eDPI is 28.9 cm. A bigger number means a slower sensitivity, more arm movement and steadier small corrections.
Compare your cm/360 with the width of your mouse pad. If a full turn needs 40 cm and your pad is 45 cm wide, you can spin round in one sweep. If your pad is less than half your cm/360, you will keep lifting the mouse during fights, which usually means your sensitivity is too low for your space.
What is a good eDPI for Overwatch 2?
A good Overwatch 2 eDPI lets you track a target that jumps and dashes without your crosshair sliding off, and still turn fast enough to deal with a flanker behind you. For most mouse players that sits somewhere around 2,500 to 5,000 eDPI, and pro players cluster in the middle of that range.
We read the settings of the 29 players on the ProSettings.net Overwatch list whose profiles show both a DPI and a sensitivity, on 25 October 2026, and worked out each eDPI as DPI x sensitivity:
| ProSettings.net Overwatch pros | Value |
|---|---|
| Median eDPI | 3,450 (40.2 cm) |
| Middle half of players | 3,200 to 4,800 |
| Lowest and highest | 1,501.5 and 7,200 |
| eDPI of 4,800 or lower | 25 of 29 |
| 800 DPI | 17 of 29 |
| 1600 DPI | 7 of 29 |
The average is about 3,870, pulled up by a few fast setups such as 800 DPI at 9. The median is the better guide to a typical pro. The profiles were last updated at different times, between late 2022 and October 2026, so treat the list as a snapshot rather than current settings for every player.
Pro numbers are a reference, not a target. Most pros play on large pads with years of practice at their speed. If you aim mostly with your wrist on a small pad, 4,500 to 5,500 eDPI may simply be easier to live with.
What sensitivity do Overwatch 2 pros use at 800 DPI?
Most use between 4 and 7. Of the 17 pros at 800 DPI on the list, the most common values are 4 (five players) and 6 (four players), which is 3,200 and 4,800 eDPI. The full spread runs from 3.2 to 9.
800 DPI is the clear favourite, with 1600 DPI second. Neither gives better aim on its own, because the game turns the same amount for the same eDPI. Pick the DPI that feels normal on your desktop and set the in-game Sensitivity to reach the eDPI you want.
Changing DPI without changing your Overwatch 2 aim
When you change DPI, change the sensitivity by the opposite factor and your eDPI stays the same. Every row in this table is 3,200 eDPI and 43.3 cm/360.
| DPI | Sensitivity | eDPI |
|---|---|---|
| 400 | 8 | 3,200 |
| 800 | 4 | 3,200 |
| 1600 | 2 | 3,200 |
| 3200 | 1 | 3,200 |
The rule is new sensitivity = old eDPI / new DPI. Moving from 800 DPI at 5.5 (4,400 eDPI) to 1600 DPI gives 4,400 / 1600 = 2.75. Type both setups into the calculator and check that the cm/360 matches before you queue for a match.
Overwatch 2 sensitivity in Valorant, CS2 and Apex
At the same DPI, divide your Overwatch 2 sensitivity by about 3.33 for CS2 or Apex Legends (multiply by 0.3), and multiply it by about 0.0943 for Valorant. The Same feel in other games list does this for you.
| OW2 | CS2, Apex | Valorant |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 0.9 | 0.283 |
| 4 | 1.2 | 0.377 |
| 4.24 | 1.272 | 0.4 |
| 5 | 1.5 | 0.471 |
| 6 | 1.8 | 0.566 |
| 7 | 2.1 | 0.66 |
Going the other way, multiply a CS2 or Apex sensitivity by about 3.33, or a Valorant sensitivity by about 10.6. Valorant 0.4 becomes 4.242 in Overwatch 2. The conversion matches the 360 distance only. Field of view and scoped sensitivity work differently in each game, so a converted value can still look a little faster or slower on screen. For a DPI change at the same time, use the mouse sensitivity converter. Each game also has its own page: Valorant sensitivity and eDPI, CS2 sensitivity and eDPI and Apex Legends sensitivity and eDPI.
Zoom sensitivity, hero settings and what eDPI leaves out
Your Overwatch 2 eDPI describes normal, unscoped aim only. These settings change how aiming feels without changing the number:
- Relative Aim Sensitivity While Zoomed. Heroes with a scope, such as Widowmaker and Ana, have their own setting for scoped aim, set per hero. ProSettings.net lists it as Zoom Sensitivity: for the 24 of our 29 pros who show it, the median is 37 and the range is 30 to 50.
- Hero specific sensitivity. A separate value for one hero changes that hero only. If you play a tracking hero at one speed and a flick hero at another, work out an eDPI for each.
- Field of view. A wider FOV makes the picture seem to move faster even though your cm/360 is unchanged.
- Polling rate. How often the mouse reports affects smoothness and latency, not sensitivity. 27 of the 29 pros list 1000 Hz. Check yours with the polling rate test and read polling rate explained for what higher rates change.
- The real DPI of your mouse. If the sensor sends 850 counts per inch instead of 800, your true eDPI is about 6% higher than the calculator shows.
Choosing your own Overwatch 2 sensitivity
Overwatch 2 mixes long tracking fights against mobile heroes with quick flicks and fast turns, and the best value can depend on the heroes you play. Find one value that works for your main role, then stop changing it.
- Set your DPI once and leave it. 800 is the most common choice among pros.
- Start near 3,200 to 4,000 eDPI, for example 4 to 5 at 800 DPI.
- In the Practice Range, track the moving bots with a hitscan hero. If you keep overshooting, lower your sensitivity by about 0.25 at 800 DPI.
- If you cannot turn 180 degrees in one comfortable sweep, or you run out of pad while tracking, raise it by the same step.
- Keep each setting for several sessions. Changing it every day stops muscle memory from forming.
Our aim trainer is a quick way to compare two sensitivities outside the game: run the same drill at each value and see whether you hit more targets or only got slower. If you want to rule out slow reactions first, try the reaction time test.

Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my eDPI in Overwatch 2?
Multiply your mouse DPI by your Overwatch 2 Sensitivity. 800 DPI at 5 is 4,000 eDPI, and 1600 DPI at 2.5 is also 4,000. Use the general sensitivity from Options, Controls, or the hero value if you set one.
What is a good eDPI for Overwatch 2?
Most mouse players do well somewhere around 2,500 to 5,000. Among 29 pros on ProSettings.net the median is 3,450 eDPI and the middle half sit between 3,200 and 4,800. Choose the value that lets you track smoothly and still turn far enough on your pad.
Why is my Overwatch 2 eDPI so much higher than in CS2?
Overwatch 2 turns 0.0066 degrees per mouse count, while CS2 turns 0.022. So the same feel needs a sensitivity about 3.33 times higher in Overwatch 2, and the eDPI is 3.33 times higher too. Compare cm/360 instead.
What is 800 DPI at 5 sensitivity in Overwatch 2?
It is 4,000 eDPI, with a 360 distance of 34.6 cm (13.6 inches). That is a little faster than the pro median of 3,450 and well inside the range most pros use.
How do I convert Valorant sensitivity to Overwatch 2?
Multiply your Valorant sensitivity by about 10.6 at the same DPI. Valorant 0.4 becomes 4.242 in Overwatch 2, and 0.3 becomes about 3.18. Select Valorant in the calculator to see the exact value.
Does zoom sensitivity change my eDPI?
No. eDPI uses your normal Sensitivity only. Relative Aim Sensitivity While Zoomed changes your speed while scoped with heroes such as Widowmaker and Ana, and is set per hero.
Is my data saved?
Yes, on your device only. The calculator stores your last game, DPI and sensitivity in your browser’s local storage, and nothing is sent to a server.
