- ADS cm/360: 40.59 cm
- 8.12 cm longer than your 32.47 cm hipfire turn
Apex cannot reach a 1:1 match for this optic under the disclosed rule. Use this value if you want the closest available result.
What does this calculator give you?
Enter your DPI and hipfire sensitivity. You get the ADS multiplier to type in for each Apex optic—and a clear flag when the slider cannot hit a true 1:1 cm/360 match.
Hipfire sens alone does not keep the same turn distance across zooms. Each optic needs its own multiplier.
Leave every optic on the same ADS value and high zooms feel slower than your hipfire aim—flicks that worked open-sight land short on a 6x.
When the numbers are right
- A usable value for every optic from 1x through 10x
- A 1:1 or Capped label so you know when Apex's max blocks a match
- ADS cm/360 next to each optic so you can see the real turn distance
What does 800 DPI × 1.6 look like?
Example inputs: 800 DPI and 1.6 hipfire sensitivity.
4x — within the slider
Enter 1.818. ADS turn distance is 32.47 cm/360—same as hipfire under this rule.
6x — hits the cap
Enter 2.000. ADS turn distance is 40.59 cm/360.
4x can match because its multiplier stays under the slider max. 6x would need 2.500 for that match, above Apex's 2 maximum.
Use the 4x value when you want equal cm/360. The 6x value is the closest Apex allows; the turn stays longer than hipfire.
This is a calculated example, not a real player or professional setting. It does not identify a best sensitivity; test any setting for your own use.
How does Apex ADS sensitivity work?
Each optic scales FOV differently. This calculator uses Apex's published per-optic FOV scale and multiplier rule for mouse and keyboard, then shows what you can actually enter.
How is each multiplier calculated?
ADS angular sensitivity = hipfire sensitivity × FOV scale × per-optic multiplier.
To keep the same cm/360, the theoretical multiplier is 1 ÷ FOV scale.
The results table shows that theoretical value, the value you can enter, and whether it stays within the 2 slider maximum.
Why can't 6x, 8x, and 10x hit true 1:1?
When the theoretical multiplier is above Apex's 2 slider maximum, this page shows 2 as the value to enter and marks the optic Capped. ADS cm/360 stays longer than hipfire—a full 1:1 match is not available under this rule.
Where do these numbers come from?
Applies to Apex Legends mouse-and-keyboard per-optic ADS. Checked 2026-07-29. Open the public Apex settings reference.
This rule does not cover controller, ALC, aim assist, or cross-game conversion.
How to Use
- 1
Find Your Mouse DPI
Open your mouse software and confirm the active DPI value.
- 2
Enter Your Hipfire Sensitivity
In Apex Legends > Settings > Mouse/Keyboard, copy your base Mouse Sensitivity value, not an ADS multiplier.
- 3
Apply the Per-Optic Multipliers
Enable 'Per Optic ADS Sensitivity' in Apex's mouse settings. Enter each calculated multiplier into the matching zoom level (1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 10x).
- 4
Test in the Firing Range
Test the settings in game. A result marked 1:1 has equal hipfire and ADS cm/360 under the disclosed rule.
