Valorant Yaw Value 0.07: What It Is and Why It Matters
Valorant sensitivity yaw is 0.07 degrees per count. Learn what it means, how to use it to calculate your cm/360°, and how to convert any game’s sensitivity to Valorant accurately.
The number 0.07 appears in every sensitivity conversion formula for Valorant — but most players don’t know what it actually means. This guide explains exactly what valorant yaw value 0.07 is, why 0.07 matters, and how to use it to get perfect sensitivity conversions.
What is Yaw in Valorant?
Yaw is the number that controls how many degrees your camera rotates for every single count your mouse moves. In Valorant, this value is 0.07 degrees per count.This means every time your mouse moves one count, your camera in Valorant rotates exactly 0.07 degrees. The higher your sensitivity, the more counts your mouse sends per inch of movement, which makes your camera turn faster.
Every FPS game has its own yaw value. This is why you cannot use the same sensitivity number in two different games and expect them to feel the same.
Yaw Values for All Major FPS Games
Here are the official yaw values for all popular FPS games:
| Game | Yaw Value |
|---|---|
| Valorant | 0.07 |
| CS2 / CS:GO | 0.022 |
| Apex Legends | 0.022 |
| Overwatch 2 | 0.00660 |
| Fortnite | 0.5715 |
| Rainbow Six Siege | 0.00572958 |
| Call of Duty | 0.0066 |
| PUBG | 0.00707 |
Overwatch 2 uses a yaw of 0.00660 — see our Valorant to Overwatch 2 converter for the exact conversion formula. Notice that CS2 and Apex Legends share the same yaw value of 0.022. This means if you play both games, your sensitivity number will be identical in both without any conversion needed.
How to Use Valorant Yaw to Calculate Your cm/360°
cm/360° is the physical distance your mouse travels on your mousepad to complete a full 360° camera rotation. This is the most accurate way to measure and compare sensitivity across different games.
The formula to calculate cm/360° in Valorant is:
cm/360 = (360 × 2.54) / (DPI × Sensitivity × 0.07)
Let us use a real example. A player using 800 DPI and 0.35 sensitivity in Valorant:
cm/360° = (360 ×2.54) / (800 × 0.35 × 0.07)
cm/360° = 914.4 / 19.6
cm/360° = 46.6 cm
This means their mouse needs to travel 46.6 centimeters across their mousepad to turn the camera a full 360°. Most Valorant pros have a cm/360° between 25 and 55 cm.
How to Convert Any Game to Valorant Using Yaw
The universal conversion formula using yaw values is:
Valorant Sensitivity = Other Game Sensitivity × (Other Game Yaw ÷ 0.07)
Here are ready made examples for each game:
Converting from CS2:
Valorant Sens = CS2 Sens × (0.022 ÷ 0.07) = CS2 Sens × 0.314
Converting from Apex Legends:
Valorant Sens = Apex Sens × (0.022 ÷ 0.07) = Apex Sens × 0.314
Converting from Overwatch 2:
Valorant Sens = OW2 Sens × (0.00660 ÷ 0.07) = OW2 Sens × 0.094
Converting from Fortnite:
Valorant Sens = Fortnite Sens × (0.5715 ÷ 0.07) = Fortnite Sens × 8.164

How the Conversion Works
Yaw Constants
Every game converts raw mouse input to camera degrees using a unique yaw value. We use developer-confirmed constants for all 10 supported games.
360° Distance
Your sensitivity × DPI determines counts per inch. Combined with yaw, we calculate the physical cm your mouse travels for a full 360° rotation.
Reverse Map
We reverse that cm/360° into the target game's formula — so your muscle memory transfers perfectly with zero aim retraining.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is eDPI and why does it matter?
eDPI (effective DPI) = your in-game sensitivity × your mouse DPI. It's the single number that truly represents your sensitivity, making it easy to compare settings across players regardless of DPI differences.
How do I convert CS2 sensitivity to Valorant?
Multiply your CS2 sensitivity by ~3.18 (the ratio of Valorant yaw 0.07 to CS2 yaw 0.022). Our converter does this automatically with full precision.
What is the best sensitivity for Valorant?
Most Valorant pros use an eDPI between 200–400. Lower eDPI (180–280) suits precise aiming; medium (280–400) works well for most roles. There's no universal "best" — consistency matters most.
Will my aim feel exactly the same after converting?
Yes — as long as both games use raw input and you don't change resolution or aspect ratio. The cm/360° value will be mathematically identical across both games.
Why Does Yaw Matter for Competitive Gaming?
Understanding valorant sensitivity yaw is important for three reasons:
First, it allows you to convert your sensitivity perfectly between games. If you play Valorant and CS2, you can use the exact same cm/360° in both games so your muscle memory always feels identical.
Second, it helps you understand why pro player settings feel different from yours even if the sensitivity number looks similar. A CS2 pro using 2.0 sensitivity has a very different feel from a Valorant player using 2.0 sensitivity.
Third, it lets you calculate your exact cm/360° which is the universal language of mouse sensitivity. When pro players share their settings, cm/360° is the only number that means the same thing regardless of what game they play.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Valorant yaw value?
Valorant’s yaw value is 0.07 degrees per count. This is an official value confirmed by Riot Games and is used in all sensitivity conversion formulas.
Is Valorant yaw the same as CS2?
No. Valorant yaw is 0.07 and CS2 yaw is 0.022. This is why you need to multiply CS2 sensitivity by approximately 3.18 to get the equivalent Valorant sensitivity.
How do I use yaw to find my perfect sensitivity?
Calculate your current cm/360° using the formula above. Then use that cm/360° value to find the matching sensitivity in any other game. This guarantees identical aim feel across all games.
Does Valorant yaw ever change?
No. Riot Games has kept the yaw value at 0.07 since Valorant launched. Unless Riot officially announces a change, this value stays the same permanently.
What is a good cm/360° for Valorant?
Most Valorant pro players use between 25 cm and 55 cm per 360°. Lower values mean faster camera movement. Higher values mean more precise and slower movement. Most beginners do better starting around 40 to 50 cm.
