How to convert it

  1. Find your sensitivity in Quake III Arena. It is in the controls settings or the console, under sensitivity.
  2. Multiply it by 3.9604 (0.022 ÷ 0.005555), or type it into the converter above, and enter the result in Fortnite.
  3. 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.

Fortnite

The value is the percentage you type, so 6.5 means 6.5 percent. Scoped and building sensitivities are separate settings that this converter does not change. Engine: Unreal Engine 5. Yaw 0.005555.

What players use in Quake III Arena and Fortnite

A sensitivity only means something next to the distance it gives you. These are the settings of players who compete in Fortnite, 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.
