Formula
TF2 to Fortnite formula
Fortnite sens = TF2 sens × 3.960396Team Fortress 2 turns 0.022° per mouse count at sensitivity 1; Fortnite turns 0.005555°. The ratio of the two, 0.022 ÷ 0.005555, is the multiplier. It holds at any DPI as long as you use the same DPI in both games.
Fortnite: Targeting and scope sensitivity are separate Fortnite sliders; this converts the X/Y-axis (hipfire) value.

Converting from
Sensitivity in Team Fortress 2
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.
- Where to set it
- Options → Mouse → Mouse sensitivity, or
sensitivityin the console - Common range
- 1.5–3.5 at 800 DPI (15–35 cm/360°)
Converting to
Sensitivity in Fortnite
Fortnite shows sensitivity as a percentage split across X-axis and Y-axis sliders; keep them equal or vertical aim will feel off. Targeting and scope sensitivity are separate percentages, and build and edit modes have their own multipliers, so only the base X/Y value is converted here.
- Where to set it
- Settings → Mouse & Keyboard → X/Y-Axis Sensitivity (keep both equal)
- Common range
- 5%–9% at 800 DPI (23–41 cm/360°)
Ranges compared
Where TF2 players land in Fortnite
Competitive TF2 players mostly use 1.5–3.5 at 800 DPI, which converts to Fortnite 5.9%–13.9%. Fortnite players typically sit at 5%–9%, so most TF2 players land on the fast side in Fortnite. Plenty keep it that way: your muscle memory matters more than matching everyone else.
FAQ
TF2 to Fortnite sens questions
How do I convert TF2 sens to Fortnite?
To keep the same feel, multiply your TF2 sens by 3.9604. At the same DPI, TF2 2 equals Fortnite 7.9%. If you play Fortnite at a different DPI, enter both DPIs in the converter above and it compensates.
What is TF2 2 in Fortnite?
TF2 2 at 800 DPI is Fortnite 7.9% at 800 DPI (exactly 7.92079). Both need 26 cm of mouse movement for a full 360° turn.
Is TF2 sensitivity the same as Fortnite?
No. TF2 turns 0.022° per mouse count at sensitivity 1 and Fortnite turns 0.005555°, so the same number in Fortnite is 3.96× slower. That is why you need to convert.
Where do I change sensitivity in Fortnite?
Settings → Mouse & Keyboard → X/Y-Axis Sensitivity (keep both equal). Targeting and scope sensitivity are separate Fortnite sliders; this converts the X/Y-axis (hipfire) value.
Why does Fortnite feel different at the converted sens?
The converted value matches your 360° distance exactly, but TF2 and Fortnite 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.
