What is CM per 360?

CM/360 is the physical distance (in centimeters) your mouse must travel on your mousepad to complete a full 360-degree rotation in a game. This is the **only truly objective way** to compare sensitivity across different games, mouse DPIs, and resolutions.

High Sensitivity

Short distance (Low CM/360). Less physical movement, faster aim, harder to be precise.

Low Sensitivity

Long distance (High CM/360). Large arm movements, extremely precise, but slower for big turns.

About CM per 360° Calculator

The Universal Metric for Perfect Aim

"CM/360" (Centimeters per 360-degree turn) is the gold standard for measuring mouse sensitivity. Unlike generic "Sensitivity" numbers which vary wildly between games (e.g., 2.0 in CS:GO is 0.6 in Valorant), CM/360 describes the actual physical distance your mouse travels to complete a full rotation in-game. By knowing this value, you can flawlessly transfer your aim mechanics to any First-Person Shooter, regardless of its engine or settings.

This calculator eliminates the guesswork. Whether you are setting up a new game, buying a new mousepad, or trying to copy a pro player's config, converting everything to CM/360 ensures you are comparing apples to apples.

How to Calculate Your CM/360

  1. Select Your Game: Choose the game you play from our dropdown (supports all major titles like Overwatch 2, Quake, Apex Legends, etc.).
  2. Input Mouse DPI: Enter your mouse's hardware DPI setting (e.g., 400, 800, 1600).
  3. Input In-Game Sensitivity: Enter the numerical value from your game's options menu.
  4. Get Result: The tool instantly displays the centimeters (and inches) required for a full 360° turn.

Understanding Aim Styles via CM/360

  • Wrist Aiming (10cm - 30cm): High sensitivity. Requires very little physical movement. Great for fast-paced games like Quake or Fortnite closerange building. Pros: Fast reaction. Cons: Hard to be precise at long range.
  • Hybrid Aiming (30cm - 45cm): The sweet spot for many modern shooters like Apex Legends or Overwatch. Allows for both tracking speed and decent precision.
  • Arm Aiming (45cm - 80cm+): Low sensitivity. Requires a large mousepad. The standard for tactical shooters like CS2 and Valorant. Pros: Incredible micro-precision. Cons: Tiring for 180° turns.

Why Mousepad Size Matters

This tool is vital for hardware compatibility. If your sensitivity is 60cm/360 (Low Sens) but your mousepad is only 30cm wide, you physically cannot turn around without lifting your mouse twice. This puts you at a severe disadvantage. Always ensure your mousepad is at least 1.5x wider than your CM/360 value for comfortable gameplay.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the average CM/360 for pros? A: In tactical shooters (CS/Valorant), the average is around 50-60cm/360. In tracking shooters (Apex/Overwatch), it's around 30-40cm/360.

Q: Does Windows Sensitivity affect this? A: Most modern games use "Raw Input," ignoring Windows settings. However, if Raw Input is OFF, Windows pointer speed will affect your CM/360.

Q: My result is "Infinite". Why? A: You likely entered 0 sensitivity or 0 DPI. Enter valid positive numbers.
