Enter your Rainbow Six Siege sensitivity and DPI to get the Apex Legends sens that turns the exact same distance. To convert by hand, divide your R6 Siege sens by 3.8397 (or multiply by 0.2604).
Formula
R6 Siege to Apex formula
Apex sens = R6 Siege sens × 0.260435Rainbow Six Siege turns 0.00572958° per mouse count at sensitivity 1; Apex Legends turns 0.022°. The ratio of the two, 0.00572958 ÷ 0.022, is the multiplier. It holds at any DPI as long as you use the same DPI in both games.
R6 Siege: Assumes the default MouseSensitivityMultiplierUnit of 0.02 in GameSettings.ini. Siege only accepts whole numbers.
Apex: Apex scopes use per-optic ADS multipliers on top of this value; this converts hipfire.

Converting from
Sensitivity in Rainbow Six Siege
Also applies to Siege X
Rainbow Six Siege splits sensitivity into separate horizontal and vertical sliders; keep both equal so vertical aim matches. ADS speed is set per zoom level, and the FOV slider does not change hipfire turn speed.
- Where to set it
- Options → Controls → Mouse → Mouse Sensitivity Horizontal / Vertical
- Common range
- 5–10 at 800 DPI (20–40 cm/360°)
Converting to
Sensitivity in Apex Legends
Apex Legends runs on a heavily modified Source engine and shares CS2’s 0.022° yaw, so the same number turns the same distance in both. The FOV slider does not change hipfire turn speed, but ADS speed follows each optic’s zoom and can be tuned per optic once hipfire is set.
- Where to set it
- Settings → Mouse/Keyboard → Mouse Sensitivity
- Common range
- 0.9–2 at 800 DPI (26–58 cm/360°)
Ranges compared
Where R6 Siege players land in Apex
Competitive R6 Siege players mostly use 5–10 at 800 DPI, which converts to Apex 1.3–2.6. Apex players typically sit at 0.9–2, so a typical R6 Siege sens lands inside the usual Apex range once converted.
FAQ
R6 Siege to Apex sens questions
How do I convert R6 Siege sens to Apex?
To keep the same feel, divide your R6 Siege sens by 3.8397 (or multiply by 0.2604). At the same DPI, R6 Siege 10 equals Apex 2.6. If you play Apex at a different DPI, enter both DPIs in the converter above and it compensates.
What is R6 Siege 10 in Apex?
R6 Siege 10 at 800 DPI is Apex 2.6 at 800 DPI (exactly 2.60435). Both need 19.9 cm of mouse movement for a full 360° turn.
Is R6 Siege sensitivity the same as Apex?
No. R6 Siege turns 0.00573° per mouse count at sensitivity 1 and Apex turns 0.022°, so the same number in Apex is 3.84× faster. That is why you need to convert.
Where do I change sensitivity in Apex Legends?
Settings → Mouse/Keyboard → Mouse Sensitivity. Apex scopes use per-optic ADS multipliers on top of this value; this converts hipfire.
Why does Apex feel different at the converted sens?
The converted value matches your 360° distance exactly, but R6 Siege and Apex use different fields of view and camera setups, so targets can appear to move at a different speed on screen. Make sure mouse acceleration is off in both games and in Windows, then give it a few sessions before tweaking.
