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.

- 1.5–3.5 at 800 DPI (15–35 cm/360°)
Converting to
Sensitivity in Overwatch 2
Overwatch 2 shares its 0.0066° yaw with Call of Duty and Destiny 2, so values move between those three unchanged. Sensitivity can be overridden per hero, and scoped heroes such as Widowmaker and Ashe add Relative Aim Sensitivity While Zoomed (default 30%) on top.

FAQ
TF2 to Overwatch sens questions
How do I convert TF2 sens to Overwatch?
To keep the same feel, multiply your TF2 sens by 3.3333. At the same DPI, TF2 2 equals Overwatch 6.67. If you play Overwatch at a different DPI, enter both DPIs in the converter above and it compensates.
What is TF2 2 in Overwatch?
TF2 2 at 800 DPI is Overwatch 6.67 at 800 DPI (exactly 6.66667). Both need 26 cm of mouse movement for a full 360° turn.
Is TF2 sensitivity the same as Overwatch?
No. TF2 turns 0.022° per mouse count at sensitivity 1 and Overwatch turns 0.0066°, so the same number in Overwatch is 3.33× slower. That is why you need to convert.
Where do I change sensitivity in Overwatch 2?
Options → Controls → General → Mouse → Sensitivity.
Why does Overwatch feel different at the converted sens?
The converted value matches your 360° distance exactly, but TF2 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.
