Example Data Table
| Current DPI | Current Sens | New DPI | Multiplier | Matched Sens | Approx cm/360 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 400 | 12 | 800 | 0.020000 | 6.0000 | 76.2000 |
| 800 | 12 | 1600 | 0.020000 | 6.0000 | 38.1000 |
| 800 | 8 | 800 | 0.020000 | 8.0000 | 57.1500 |
Formula Used
cm/360 = (360 × 2.54) ÷ (DPI × sensitivity × multiplier)
Matched sensitivity = current sensitivity × current DPI × current multiplier ÷ (new DPI × new multiplier)
Target sensitivity = (360 × 2.54) ÷ (new DPI × new multiplier × target cm/360)
Scoped cm/360 = hipfire cm/360 × 100 ÷ ADS value
Visual index = ADS percent ÷ scope zoom × FOV ratio × 100
How to Use This Calculator
Enter your current DPI, current hipfire sensitivity, and current multiplier unit.
Add your new DPI and new multiplier if you are changing your setup.
Enter a target cm/360 if you want the calculator to create a sensitivity from a known turn distance.
Fill in each ADS value to compare scope behavior.
Press Calculate. The result appears above the form and below the header.

Why Sensitivity Matters
A strong setup starts with repeatable movement. Rainbow Six Siege rewards tiny corrections, clean recoil control, and room checks. A poor setting can make every doorway feel different. A balanced setting helps your hand move with purpose.
DPI and Game Settings
DPI is the hardware side of aim. In game sensitivity is the software side. The multiplier links both values. Together, they create the real turn speed. This calculator combines those numbers and shows the distance needed for a full turn. Hipfire sensitivity should feel stable first. It controls drones, movement, clearing, and panic flicks. Many players copy a professional setting, then forget their mouse DPI is different. That changes everything. A copied value can become too fast or too slow when DPI changes.
Scope Control
ADS values need separate attention. Siege uses many optics. Each scope can feel different because zoom changes your visual speed. A one times sight needs control. A high magnification optic needs tracking. This page compares each scope with the hipfire baseline. Use the target distance field when you already know your preferred centimeters per full turn. Lower distance means faster aim. Higher distance means slower aim. The tool converts that target into a matching sensitivity value.
Testing Aim
Try small changes first. Large jumps can hurt muscle memory. Test one setting in the shooting range. Track a wall line. Control recoil on common guns. Then play a few rounds before changing again. The result table is also useful for notes. Export CSV to compare test profiles. Save the PDF when you want a setup record. This helps when you reinstall, change mice, or move between computers. No calculator can replace practice. It removes guesswork. Use the numbers as a starting point. Then adjust for comfort, desk space, grip style, and role. Entry players may prefer quicker turns. Anchors may prefer steadier holds. The best sensitivity is one you can repeat under pressure.
Setup Consistency
Keep your Windows pointer speed consistent too. Disable surprise changes from mouse software. Record your pad size and desk space. Mark your usual arm position. These details make the numbers easier to repeat. A stable setup lets every operator feel familiar, even when maps and weapons change.
FAQs
What does cm/360 mean?
It means the mouse distance needed to rotate your view one full turn. A smaller value feels faster. A larger value feels slower and steadier.
Can I convert sensitivity after changing DPI?
Yes. Enter your old DPI and sensitivity. Then enter your new DPI. The calculator gives a matched sensitivity for a similar hipfire feel.
What multiplier should I use?
The common default multiplier is 0.02. Use the value from your configuration file if you changed it. A different multiplier changes the final turn speed.
Why are ADS scopes listed separately?
Each optic can use a different ADS value. Separate scope rows help you compare turn distance and visual speed for each magnification level.
Is lower sensitivity always better?
No. Lower sensitivity can improve control, but it needs more desk space. Your best setting should allow smooth tracking and quick emergency turns.
Should I copy professional player settings?
You can use them as a starting point. Still, DPI, grip, pad size, desk space, and role can make the same setting feel different.
What does target cm/360 do?
It converts your preferred turn distance into a sensitivity value. Use it when you already know the cm/360 that feels comfortable.
Why export CSV or PDF?
Exports help you save test profiles. You can compare settings later, restore your setup, or keep notes when changing mice or computers.
