Overwatch 2 to Garry's Mod Sensitivity

Garry's Mod sensitivity =
Overwatch 2 sensitivity × 0.3

Keep your DPI the same in both games. The multiplier is 0.0066 ÷ 0.022, the ratio of the two games' yaw, so it holds at every DPI.

How this conversion works

One multiplier from two yaw values

Overwatch 2 → Garry's Mod × 0.3

Overwatch 2 turns 0.0066° per mouse count at sensitivity 1. Garry's Mod turns 0.022°. The ratio of the two is the multiplier.

Yaw

Degrees per mouse count

Overwatch 20.0066°
Garry's Mod0.022°

Overwatch 2 turns 3.33 times less per count, so Garry's Mod needs a sensitivity 3.33 times lower for the same turn.

360° distance

A length you can measure

360 ÷ (0.0066 × 3.71) = 14,702 counts
14,702 ÷ 800 DPI = 18.38 in = 46.68 cm

Divide 360° by the angle per count to get counts per turn, then divide by DPI to get inches.

Other match methods

360° distance or monitor distance

The chart matches 360° distance, which does not depend on field of view. Monitor distance matching (0%, 56.25%, 75%, 100%) depends on the FOV you set in Overwatch 2 and Garry's Mod. The TrueSens app reads your FOV and shows every method side by side.

What this page can't do

This page is a reference chart. The parts that need your PC are in the free Windows app:

  • Remembers your Overwatch 2 sensitivity and converts it to all 40 games at once.
  • Writes 1.113 into Garry's Mod (config.cfg) and keeps a backup you can restore.
  • Measures your real DPI. An 800 DPI mouse can really be 826, which changes your cm/360.
  • Draws 46.68 cm at true size on your screen after a one-time bank-card calibration.
  • Blind A/B feel test between your old feel and the converted Garry's Mod value.

"Open in TrueSens" starts the installed app with Overwatch 2 3.71 → Garry's Mod already filled in (truesens://convert?from=overwatch-2&to=garrys-mod&sens=3.71). If nothing opens, install the app first. Windows 10 and 11, x64, no ads, no account.

FAQ

Overwatch 2 to Garry's Mod sensitivity questions

How do I convert Overwatch 2 sensitivity to Garry's Mod?

Multiply your Overwatch 2 sensitivity by 0.3 (0.0066 ÷ 0.022) and keep the same DPI. Overwatch 2 3.71 becomes Garry's Mod 1.113.

What is 3.71 Overwatch 2 sensitivity in Garry's Mod?

1.113 at any DPI. At 800 DPI both settings turn you 360° with 46.68 cm of mouse movement.

Does DPI change the Overwatch 2 to Garry's Mod conversion?

No. The multiplier is the same at 400, 800 or 1600 DPI as long as you use the same DPI in both games. DPI only changes your cm/360.

Should I match 360 distance or monitor distance from Overwatch 2 to Garry's Mod?

360 distance keeps full turns and flicks identical and does not depend on field of view, so the chart on this page uses it. Monitor distance matching depends on the FOV you play with; the TrueSens app reads it from your settings and gives you that value too.

How do I set my converted sensitivity in Garry's Mod?

Open the Garry's Mod console and enter sensitivity 1.113, or set it in the game's mouse settings. The free TrueSens app for Windows can write the value into the Garry's Mod config for you and keeps a backup.

How do I convert Garry's Mod sensitivity to Overwatch 2?

Multiply your Garry's Mod sensitivity by 3.333333 (0.022 ÷ 0.0066). Garry's Mod 1.113 becomes Overwatch 2 3.71.
