TF2 sensitivity explained
Team Fortress 2 runs on the original Source engine with the classic 0.022° yaw shared by CS2 and Apex. Set m_rawinput 1 to bypass Windows pointer settings; fov_desired (up to 90) changes how fast things look on screen but not your 360° distance.

FAQ
TF2 sensitivity questions
What is a good TF2 sensitivity?
Most competitive TF2 players use 1.5 to 3.5 at 800 DPI, which is 15 to 35 cm of mouse movement per 360° turn. If you are coming from another game, convert your current sens first instead of copying a pro's: muscle memory matters more than the number.
How do I convert TF2 sens to another game?
Multiply your TF2 sens by the ratio of the two games' yaw values, 0.022° for TF2 divided by the other game's yaw. The table on this page lists the multiplier for every game, and the converter does the same math with your DPI. CS2 and Apex share TF2's yaw, so the same number carries over unchanged.
What is the TF2 yaw value?
Team Fortress 2 turns 0.022° per mouse count at sensitivity 1. Multiply that by your sensitivity and DPI to get degrees turned per inch of mouse movement.
How many cm/360 is TF2 2?
At 800 DPI, TF2 2 takes 26 cm (10.2 in) of mouse movement for a full 360° turn. Doubling your DPI halves that distance.
Where do I change sensitivity in Team Fortress 2?
Options → Mouse → Mouse sensitivity, or sensitivity in the console.
