How Fortnite to KovaaK's sensitivity conversion works
Fortnite’s X-Axis percentage must be converted for KovaaK’s Quake/Source scale. A trainer profile set to Fortnite’s own scale requires a different input convention, so verify the selected scale before entering the result from this page.
At equal DPI, multiply your Fortnite setting by 0.2525. To reverse the conversion, divide by that factor. The number changes because the two games interpret sensitivity units differently; the distance travelled by your mouse is the quantity being matched.
Target sens = source sens × 0.2525 × source DPI ÷ target DPI
For example, 6.5 in Fortnite at 800 DPI becomes approximately 1.64125 in KovaaK's at 800 DPI. Both describe 31.66 cm for one complete horizontal turn before rounding. Keep the unrounded value in the tool if you plan to swap directions again.
| Fortnite sens / DPI | KovaaK's sens / DPI | Exact cm/360 |
|---|---|---|
| 6.5 / 800 | 1.64125 / 800 | 31.66 |
| 6.5 / 800 | 0.82063 / 1600 | 31.66 |
| 8.125 / 800 | 2.05156 / 800 | 25.32 |
The first two rows keep the source setup fixed and change only the target DPI. The third changes source sensitivity. This separates a hardware-DPI change from an in-game sensitivity change, which is useful when comparing two saved configurations.
Settings to check in each game
Fortnite
Settings > Mouse and Keyboard > X-Axis Sensitivity (shown as a percentage)
Enter the displayed X-Axis percentage. A menu value of 6.5% means 6.5 in this converter, not 0.065. This factor-of-100 input mistake is much larger than any rounding difference. Y-Axis, Targeting, Scope, Building and Editing settings remain separate; this page does not claim one horizontal number sets all of them.

KovaaK's
Game Options > Main > Sensitivity, with Sensitivity Scale set to Quake/Source
Select Quake/Source as the Sensitivity Scale for the values on this page. KovaaK’s supports several scales; the same numeric input means something different after switching that selector. If you choose your game’s own scale instead, use that game’s number rather than applying this Quake/Source conversion as well.

FOV and ADS: why these games can still feel different
A full-turn match does not promise equal movement across the screen. A different field of view, aspect ratio or camera perspective can alter the apparent speed of a target. Compare the same physical mouse travel first, then decide whether a different visual feel needs a personal adjustment.
Fortnite and KovaaK's also keep some aiming controls separate from their base horizontal setting. This tool does not calculate a monitor-distance match, a scoped multiplier, controller aim or vertical sensitivity. Apply the result to the named setting, then evaluate those other controls independently.
To verify the transfer, mark a starting point on the mousepad and move horizontally until the camera completes a turn. Repeat in both games with acceleration and game-specific modifiers accounted for. If space is limited, compare half-turns using half the reported cm/360 distance. Menu rounding can cause a small mismatch; a large mismatch calls for checking DPI, the input unit and game settings.
Fortnite to KovaaK's FAQ
How do I convert Fortnite sensitivity to KovaaK's?
At the same DPI, multiply your Fortnite sensitivity by 0.2525. For two different DPIs, also multiply by source DPI divided by target DPI. This matches horizontal hipfire turn distance under the stated game settings.
What is 6.5 Fortnite sensitivity in KovaaK's?
6.5 at 800 DPI converts to approximately 1.64125 KovaaK's sensitivity at 800 DPI, for 31.66 cm/360 before menu rounding. These are worked examples, not professional-player recommendations.
Does changing DPI change the result?
Yes. Enter the original DPI and New DPI separately. For linear scales, doubling the target DPI halves the target sensitivity. For an offset or non-linear slider, use the calculated result instead of halving the menu number.
Does this also convert FOV, ADS or scopes?
No. The tool matches horizontal hipfire rotation, not screen-space movement or zoom. FOV can still change perceived speed even when turn distance is equal. Check each game’s notes before adjusting a scope or a character-specific control.
