Steam You do not have one sensitivity. You have seven
Apex gives every optic its own aim multiplier, and almost nobody has ever seen theirs side by side. They get tuned one at a time, by feel, months apart — and end up asking the hand for twenty centimetres through a 1x and forty through a 3x. Put your real numbers in and look at the shape of it.
The short answer
Type your base sensitivity and DPI, then the seven multipliers off your settings screen. The bars are the distance your hand has to travel for a 360 through that optic. The green bar is your 1x — everything else is judged against it.

Not the centimetres themselves — people play well at 15 cm and at 45. What hurts is the gap between two optics you swap between under pressure, because the hand has to re-learn a distance in the middle of a fight.
Setting every multiplier to 1.0 is not a compromise; it is a decision that your hand should always be asked for the same thing. High-zoom optics then feel fast because the view is magnified, which is a real cost and worth knowing before you accept it.
Most players carry one close-range optic and one mid. Those two are the pair worth matching. A 10x you touch once a match is not what is costing you fights, whatever the table says about it.
Everything above is a distance table, and none of it reaches a controller. Not because a stick is less precise — because it sets a different quantity. A mouse says move this far, turn this much. A stick says hold it here, turn at this speed. There is no centimetre figure to convert.
What a stick has instead is the shape of the map from thumb to turn rate, and Apex is unusual in handing you three settings that control it directly. Pick a curve, put your own deadzone and outer threshold in, and the picture is drawn to scale — then push your stick around and the page marks where your thumb actually spends its time, which is the only thing that decides whether a curve suits you.
Aim as if you were tracking someone at mid range for a few seconds.

The table above is arithmetic on your settings. These measure the hardware doing the moving.
Apex keeps a separate aim sensitivity multiplier for each magnification — 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 6x, 8x and 10x — instead of one setting for all aiming. Each defaults to 1.0, which means that optic uses your base sensitivity unchanged. Your effective sensitivity through a scope is your base sensitivity multiplied by that optic’s number.
There is no official answer and this page does not invent one. Two conventions are in wide use: keep every optic at 1.0 so a full turn costs the same centimetres through all of them, or divide by the magnification so the world moves across the screen at a similar speed at every zoom. The first is predictable for the hand; the second is what most players drift toward by feel.
Usually because the two were tuned at different times and nothing ever showed them together. Put your real numbers into the table on this page: if the bars have visibly different lengths, your hand is being asked for a different distance every time you swap, and that is the thing to fix before touching anything else.
No. The multipliers apply only while aiming down that specific optic. Your hip-fire sensitivity is the base number and is shown at the top of the table for comparison — it is the line every other row should be judged against.
Yes, but it is a different quantity and the centimetre table does not reach it. A mouse sets a distance — move this far, turn this much. A stick sets a rate — hold it here, turn at this speed — so there is no cm/360 for a controller and no conversion that produces one. What a stick does have is the shape of the map from thumb position to turn rate, which response curve, deadzone and outer threshold control between them. The controller section on this page draws that shape from your settings and marks where your own thumb sits on it.
It depends on where on the stick you actually aim, which is why this page measures that instead of naming a winner. A curve only does anything in the middle of the stick — every curve is identical at rest and identical at full deflection. So if your thumb spends its time between about a fifth and half of full travel, the bend is doing most of your aiming and Classic or Steady are working for you. If you mostly slam the stick to the edge, the curve is not being used at all and Linear costs you nothing.
It sets how far the stick has to move before the game reacts at all, which hides a worn stick that no longer rests at centre. The cost is that the deadzone is subtracted from your usable range: a large one takes fine control with it, and it also pushes the slow part of the response curve further out. The controller panel here draws the deadzone to scale against the curve so you can see exactly how much travel it is consuming.
No. A converter moves one sensitivity between two games. This compares seven sensitivities inside one game against each other. The centimetre figures come from the same verified Apex yaw the site’s converter uses, so the two can never disagree.
No. Nothing in the browser can see the game. You type your base sensitivity, DPI and the seven multipliers in from your own settings screen, and the page does the arithmetic.
I answer from this site only — the 28 browser tests, the controls library for 46 games, the sensitivity converters and the two games. I can tell you which page to open, how a tool works and what its result means.
I will not guess. If something is not on the site, I will say so.
