Apex Legends to Quake Sensitivity Converter

By Mustafa Bilgic, FPS gaming enthusiast (Adiyaman, Turkiye) — published 7 September 2026.

This Apex Legends to Quake sensitivity converter takes the sensitivity you use in Apex Legends and returns the Quake value that produces the same physical turn — the same cm/360 — on the same mouse DPI. Apex Legends runs on a yaw of 0.022 degrees per count and Quake on 0.022, so the number changes even though your arm movement does not. Example: Apex Legends 1.5 at 800 DPI is 34.64 cm per full turn; the matching Quake value is 1.50.

Quick check. Apex Legends 1.5 at 800 DPI converting to Quake: 1.5 × (0.022 / 0.022) = 1.50. Set Quake to 1.50 and both games compute to about 34.64 cm per 360.

How the Apex Legends to Quake conversion works

Both games turn your view by a fixed number of degrees for every count the mouse sends, scaled by the sensitivity value you type in. That per-count constant is the yaw: Apex Legends uses 0.022, Quake uses 0.022. Your DPI stays the same, so the only thing that has to change is the in-game number.

The two constants are identical, so the multiplier is 1: copy your Apex Legends value into Quake unchanged. The converter still shows both cm/360 figures so you can confirm the match.

Apex Legends to Quake conversion table

Eight common Apex Legends values, the Quake value that matches each one, and the shared cm/360 at three DPI settings. Every row is computed with the formula above; the cm/360 columns are the same for both games by construction, because that is the quantity the conversion preserves.

Where the setting lives in Apex Legends

Apex Legends places mouse sensitivity under Settings > Mouse/Keyboard. The slider runs from 1.0 to 8.0 and accepts one-decimal increments. Unlike most tactical shooters, Apex has a horizontal FOV slider from 70 to 110, and changing it directly affects how your sensitivity feels — a wider FOV makes the same cm/360 appear visually slower because each degree of rotation covers less screen space.

ADS sensitivity uses a per-optic multiplier system. Each magnification tier has its own multiplier that scales off your hip-fire value, so swapping a 1x Holo for a 3x Ranger changes your scoped speed automatically. There is also a global ADS Mouse Sensitivity Multiplier that scales all optics together. The most common conversion error is matching only hip-fire and ignoring the per-optic layer, leaving high-zoom scopes feeling inconsistent.

Apex Legends conversion tips

Where the setting lives in Quake

Quake Champions gives you direct control over sensitivity as a raw decimal value with no hard upper limit, accessible under Settings > Controls > Mouse. The engine also exposes a Mouse Yaw variable (horizontal coefficient, defaulting to 0.022) and a matching Mouse Pitch for vertical. Most players leave yaw and pitch at defaults and only adjust the main sensitivity number, but the option exists for asymmetric tuning.

FOV in Quake Champions ranges from 80 to 130, and the game is typically played at the higher end of that range. Because the FOV range is significantly wider than most tactical shooters, converting from a game like VALORANT (fixed 103) or Siege (max 90) requires careful FOV-aware calculation. Simply matching cm/360 at different FOVs will feel wrong because the angular size of targets changes dramatically between 90 and 120.

Of the eight Apex Legends values in the table above, 8 convert to a Quake value inside its menu range. If yours lands outside, keep the cm/360 and move DPI: half the DPI needs double the value, double the DPI needs half.

Going the other way (Quake to Apex Legends)

The reverse direction uses the inverted ratio 0.022 / 0.022 = 1. Quake 1.5 becomes Apex Legends 1.50, and both sit at 34.64 cm/360 at 800 DPI. The Quake to Apex Legends converter has its own prefilled tool and table.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert Apex Legends sensitivity to Quake?

Keep your DPI the same and multiply your Apex Legends value by 0.022 / 0.022 = 1. Example: Apex Legends 1.5 becomes Quake 1.50; at 800 DPI both give 34.64 cm per 360-degree turn. The tool above does this and prints both cm/360 values so you can check they match.

Is Apex Legends sensitivity 1.5 the same as Quake sensitivity 1.5?

Yes. Apex Legends and Quake both use a yaw of 0.022 degrees per count, so the same number gives the same cm/360 at the same DPI: 1.5 at 800 DPI is 34.64 cm/360 in both games. Check the cm/360 readout anyway, because DPI or a changed in-game multiplier can still break the match.

Does changing my FOV in Apex change my actual sensitivity?

It changes how the sensitivity feels visually but the raw cm/360 for hip-fire stays the same. However, if you use a converter that factors in FOV, the output will differ because the angular movement per pixel changes.

Why does my ADS feel wrong after converting only the base sensitivity?

Apex uses per-optic multipliers on top of a global ADS multiplier. If your source game has a single ADS value, you need to map it to each optic tier individually or adjust the global ADS multiplier to approximate the feel.

Can I set sensitivity to values with more than one decimal place?

The in-game slider snaps to one-decimal increments. For finer control, you can edit the settings config file in your profile folder, though Apex may round to the nearest supported step on next launch.

Is there a maximum sensitivity value in Quake Champions?

There is no hard cap. You can enter any positive decimal. The practical range depends on your DPI and how much mousepad space you have.

Does Quake Champions share a yaw constant with CS2?

Yes, both default to 0.022. If you also match FOV, your cm/360 transfers directly by copying the sensitivity number.

Why does my sensitivity feel much faster in Quake at 130 FOV than in VALORANT at 103?

At 130 FOV, more of the world is displayed on screen, so each degree of rotation covers fewer pixels. The actual cm/360 may be identical, but targets move across your screen faster, creating the illusion of higher sensitivity. A FOV-aware converter can compensate for this perceptual difference.
