Options → Controls → General → Mouse → Sensitivity.
Why does Overwatch feel different at the converted sens?
The converted value matches your 360° distance exactly, but R6 Siege and Overwatch 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.
