Complete FPS Yaw Value Reference Table (Sourced)

What a Yaw Value Actually Is

A yaw constant is the number of degrees a game's camera rotates for every single count your mouse sensor reports. It's the number underneath every sensitivity slider — the slider is just a multiplier on top of it. Two games can have wildly different "sensitivity" numbers on screen while producing the exact same physical hand movement, purely because their yaw constants differ. That's the entire basis of sensitivity conversion: sens1 × yaw1 = sens2 × yaw2 when cm/360 is held constant.

Complete Yaw Reference Table

This table is a subset of the full list used in our converter (70+ titles). Values marked "Unverified" or "single-source" are starting points, not guarantees — treat them accordingly.

Games That Don't Have a Fixed Yaw

Not every game can be reduced to one constant. Hunt: Showdown and several titles with FOV-dependent scope scaling apply different effective sensitivity at different zoom levels even with a fixed base yaw — a single number describes hipfire only. Minecraft (Java) uses a non-linear curve (f = sensitivity × 0.6 + 0.2, then cubed) rather than a straight multiplier, so no single yaw value converts it exactly at every point on the slider — our 0.6 entry approximates the 40–70% range most PvP players actually use, not the full curve. Treat any single-number yaw for these titles as an approximation of the range you play in, not an exact universal constant.

Our Measurement Methodology

Values on this site come from one of three tiers, always labeled: (1) a game's own documented console variable or engine default — the strongest tier, e.g. CS2's m_yaw; (2) cross-referencing 2+ independent technical sources that don't cite each other (engine documentation, published sensitivity-matching tool source code, or multiple community measurements that converge); (3) a single uncorroborated source, explicitly flagged as such and treated as a starting point rather than a guarantee. We do not publish a number as "confirmed" on the strength of a single converter website repeating it — that's how uncorroborated figures spread across the whole niche.

How to Measure Yaw Yourself

If you want to verify a value independently: set a fixed, known DPI (800 is easiest to do the arithmetic with), mark a starting point on your mousepad, and record the exact physical distance your mouse travels for one full 360° in-game turn at a known sensitivity. Repeat at least 5 times and average the result to reduce measurement error, then solve for yaw using yaw = 360 / (sensitivity × DPI × inches_moved). Raw input and mouse acceleration must both be confirmed off first, or the measurement will be unreliable.

Corrections and Contributions

If you have a better-sourced value for anything marked "unverified" or "single-source" above, or you spot an error, use the contact page to send it our way along with your source. We'll update the table and credit the correction.
