How Marathon to KovaaK's sensitivity conversion works
Use the trainer’s Quake/Source profile to compare with Marathon Look Sensitivity. Marathon’s finer scale and whole-number menu mean the exact training distance can sit between game settings. Prefer testing the rounded game value before fine-tuning a training routine.
At equal DPI, multiply your Marathon setting by 0.15. 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 × 0.15 × source DPI ÷ target DPI
For example, 10 in Marathon at 800 DPI becomes approximately 1.5 in KovaaK's at 800 DPI. Both describe 34.64 cm for one complete horizontal turn before rounding. Keep the unrounded value in the tool if you plan to swap directions again.
| Marathon sens / DPI | KovaaK's sens / DPI | Exact cm/360 |
|---|---|---|
| 10 / 800 | 1.5 / 800 | 34.64 |
| 10 / 800 | 0.75 / 1600 | 34.64 |
| 12.5 / 800 | 1.875 / 800 | 27.71 |
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
Marathon
Settings > Keyboard / Mouse > Look Sensitivity
Use Look Sensitivity, not ADS Sensitivity Modifier. The catalog records a 0.0033 scale and whole-number Look Sensitivity, based on the sources and date shown above. An exact output with several decimals is a mathematical target; the nearest menu number is what you can actually test.

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.
Marathon 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.
Marathon to KovaaK's FAQ
How do I convert Marathon sensitivity to KovaaK's?
At the same DPI, multiply your Marathon sensitivity by 0.15. 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 10 Marathon sensitivity in KovaaK's?
10 at 800 DPI converts to approximately 1.5 KovaaK's sensitivity at 800 DPI, for 34.64 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.
