Quake 3 to CS2 at a glance

Your Quake III Arena sensitivity does not change in Counter-Strike 2. Both games use a yaw of 0.022, so the same number gives the same 360 degree turn.

Use the same mouse DPI in both games, with raw input on and mouse acceleration off.

About the two games

Quake III Arena

Quake III Arena set the 0.022 yaw that Source games later adopted, so a Quake 3 sensitivity is the same number in Counter-Strike 2. Engine: id Tech 3. Yaw 0.022.

Counter-Strike 2

It uses the standard Source yaw of 0.022. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive used the same value, so a CS:GO sensitivity carries over unchanged. Engine: Source 2. Yaw 0.022.

What players use in Quake III Arena and Counter-Strike 2

A sensitivity only means something next to the distance it gives you. These are the settings of players who compete in Counter-Strike 2, shown at 800 DPI. Pro numbers come from SensLab's October 2026 dataset of verified player settings; the last column converts each one so the view turns the same distance.

Median	49.5 cm	1.05	1.05
Slow end	54.7 cm	0.95	0.95

Questions

How do I convert Quake 3 sensitivity to CS2?

You do not need to. Both games use a yaw of 0.022, so type the same number.

What is 2 Quake 3 sensitivity in CS2?

2 in Quake 3 is 2 in CS2. At 800 DPI that is 26 cm of mouse travel for a full 360 degree turn in both games.

Is Quake 3 sensitivity the same as CS2?

Yes. They share a yaw, so the same number means the same turn.

Does DPI change the Quake 3 to CS2 conversion?

No. As long as the mouse DPI is the same in both games, the conversion does not depend on it. DPI only matters for your cm/360 and eDPI.

Is CS:GO sensitivity the same as CS2?

Yes. Counter-Strike 2 kept the 0.022 yaw that CS:GO used, so a CS:GO sensitivity carries over to CS2 unchanged. Use the same mouse DPI and keep raw input on.
