How I Built a Sensitivity Converter Tool for Gamers (And You Can Too)

Have you ever switched games only to find that your mouse sensitivity feels completely off?

As a long-time FPS player, I constantly found myself Googling how to convert mouse sensitivity between games like Valorant, CS:GO, Apex Legends, and others. There are a few tools online, but I wanted something cleaner, faster, and more focused.

That’s why I built Sensitivity Converter — a free tool that helps gamers convert mouse sensitivity between games with ease.

🕹️ What the Tool Does

  • Converts mouse sensitivity values between popular games.
  • Uses consistent formulas for accurate translation.
  • Lightweight and fast to use — no login, no ads, no distractions.

⚙️ How I Built It

This was a fun project to work on. Here's a quick breakdown of the stack and how it works:

🔧 Tech Stack

  • Frontend: Vanilla JS + Tailwind CSS (for simplicity)
  • Hosting: Vercel (lightning-fast deployments)
  • Logic: Based on real conversion formulas from gaming communities (e.g., 360 distance, DPI scaling)

✨ UX Goals

  • Mobile-first design
  • Minimal UI
  • One-click copy and conversion

🧠 What I Learned

  • Gamers appreciate speed and simplicity over fancy visuals.
  • SEO is super important — I used structured data and meta tags to help it rank for "mouse sensitivity converter" keywords.
  • Testing formulas across games was surprisingly tricky (some games scale weirdly!).

🌐 Try It Yourself

If you're curious, give it a try here:

It’s completely free and open to feedback — I'm still working on expanding the game list and improving accuracy.


Got feedback? I'd love to hear from you — either here in the comments or via the contact form on the site.

Happy gaming! 🎮
