- Navigate to the Keyboard/Mouse tab at the top of the screen
- Stay in the default submenu labeled Keyboard & Mouse Settings
- Find Mouse Sensitivity under the first section to see your current CS:GO sensitivity
How to change your Overwatch 2 sensitivity

- Open Overwatch 2
- Click the Menu button in the bottom right or press the Esc key
- Select Options from the menu that appears
- Go to the Controls tab at the top
- General will be the default submenu opened and will contain the Mouse section

How to get your CS:GO sensitivity in Overwatch 2
There's some math involved, but thankfully a helpful website makes the conversion of CS:GO sensitivity to Overwatch 2 very straightforward. Aiming.pro allows anyone to pick from a multitude of games, enter their sensitivity and convert it to another game. Just select CS:GO from the first drop-down and OW2 from the second. Then type in your CS:GO sensitivity number for it to automatically convert it in the adjacent box.
If you want to do the math yourself, you can take your CS:GO sensitivity and multiply it by 3.333333. A quick example will show that a 1 sensitivity in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive will convert straight to Overwatch 2 as 3.333333. OW2 is a bit more fast-paced than CS:GO, however, so take the new setting to the Practice Range first and adjust it accordingly.
