Why convert Fortnite sensitivity to Valorant?

Fortnite players moving into Valorant face a real adjustment — Fortnite is build-heavy with vertical movement, while Valorant rewards tight crosshair placement and standing still. The first thing to lock down is sens. The Fortnite slider is a percentage-style scale, but the underlying math still maps to the same physical cm/360° you've been training.

The math we use preserves cm/360° — the actual distance your mouse needs to move to spin your character once. That's the single thing your muscle memory has actually trained.

Worked example

Say you play Fortnite at 0.08 sens with 800 DPI. That's an eDPI of 64 and a cm/360° of about 25.7 cm.

To get the same physical aim in Valorant, you need a sensitivity of about 0.6349 at the same DPI. Same hand movement, different number on the slider.

The yaw value, explained

Every game has an internal "yaw" — how many degrees your view rotates per single mouse counts. It's invisible to most players, but it's why a 0.4 sens in Fortnite feels nothing like a 0.4 in Valorant.

Fortnite yaw: 0.5555
Valorant yaw: 0.07

The conversion is simply target_sens = source_sens × (source_yaw ÷ target_yaw). The cm/360° and eDPI follow from there.

Three things that quietly break your conversion

FOV

Different default FOVs change perceived speed even when cm/360° is identical. Use our FOV adjuster if your two games have very different defaults.

Windows pointer speed

Anything other than 6/11 multiplies your mouse counts. Set it to 6 and disable "Enhance pointer precision". See our Windows sens tool.

DPI mismatch

The converter assumes the same DPI in both games. Verify your DPI step is identical or the math will silently be wrong.

More on this pair

Which Fortnite setting? Use the X-axis sensitivity multiplier from Settings → Mouse, default 0.08. Both Builds and Zero Build use the same value. Don't transfer DPI assumptions: many Fortnite players run high DPI; if you switch to Valorant's typical 800 DPI / lower sens style, do the conversion at the same DPI to get the right number.
