2. What Does cm/360 Mean?

cm/360 (centimeters per 360-degree turn) measures the exact physical distance you must move your mouse across your desk to rotate your in-game camera a full circle.

The Universal Aim Standard
Unlike in-game sensitivity sliders (which differ wildly between games) or eDPI (which is only valid within one engine), cm/360 is a physical real-world unit. 40 cm/360 means exactly 40 cm on your mousepad regardless of whether you are playing Counter-Strike, Valorant, or Call of Duty.

3. The cm/360 Mathematical Formula

The exact formula translates optical sensor counts and yaw rotation factors into physical distance:

cm/360 = [ 360° ÷ (DPI × Sensitivity × Yaw) ] × 2.54

4. Aiming Styles: Low vs Medium vs High Sens

Over 45 cm / 360°

Low Sens (Arm Aiming)

Requires large sweeping arm motions and a large desk pad. Unbeatable stability for tactical micro-adjustments.

25 to 45 cm / 360°

Medium Sens (Hybrid)

The most versatile range. Arm movements for turning, wrist/fingers for fine aiming.

Under 25 cm / 360°

High Sens (Wrist Aiming)

Quick 180° flips with tiny wrist motions. Ideal for small desks and fast vertical movement shooters.

FAQ

cm/360 FAQ

Frequently asked questions about physical 360-degree rotation distance.

What is cm/360?
cm/360 is the exact physical distance in centimeters your mouse must travel on your mousepad to perform a full 360-degree rotation inside a 3D video game. It is the gold standard metric for comparing sensitivity across different game engines.
Is a lower cm/360 faster or slower?
A lower cm/360 is FASTER. For example, 20 cm/360 requires only 20 cm of mouse movement to spin 360°, whereas 50 cm/360 is a much slower, low-sensitivity setup requiring 50 cm of physical arm travel.
Why does cm/360 differ between games with the same in-game sensitivity number?
Different game engines use different internal "yaw" rotation constants. For example, a sensitivity of "1.0" in Counter-Strike 2 rotates 0.022° per count, whereas "1.0" in Valorant rotates 0.07° per count—making Valorant over 3 times faster at the exact same slider value.
Can I match my cm/360 across all my games?
Yes! By using this calculator, you can adjust your in-game sensitivity sliders so that your physical mousepad distance for a 360° turn is identical in every first-person shooter you play.
