Are we sure that the FOV is 80 degrees? Because I just measured the mouse distance to move an object from the left edge of my screen to the right edge of my screen (the FOV) and the measured distance was 14.5 cm. My 360 mouse distance is 55 cm. When doing 14.5 cm / 55 cm then multiplying that by 360 degrees, the FOV that I calculate is 95. Do i have the wrong thought process, is is the FOV really not 80 degrees?

Thanks for the explanation on how the viewspeeds differ. I have a question regarding monitor size. When converting from one thing to another, will the results be dependent of the monitor size if the monitor sizes change from the input to the output? For example, if I am converting my window desktop sensitivity to overwatch, and I use a 16 inch monitor for my windows desktop, and a 24 inch monitor for overwatch, but I cant put in 24 inch monitor in the overwatch section because it is grayed out with a 16 from the input; are the results still accurate? I guess what I'm truly asking is if sensitivity is dependent on monitor size at all, regardless if you use the same monitor size for both the input and the output, or if you use a different monitor size for the input and the output?

cool, thanks for the help. couple more questions. What is base length? Also, is viewspeed just a glorified calculator for matching a certain percentage of monitor distance? Because i thought that it was impossible to match sensitivities across different fov's, so what is viewspeed really calculating / accomplishing?

I just measured the cm my mouse had to move to get across the windows monitor when set at 350 dpi 5 WPS and its wayyy less than the outputted value of 13.2 in the viewspeed?

I'm still having some issues, even when using the main calculator. I could not get a close match with my overwatch sensitivity to windows. The windows sensitivity roughly equaled to a 34 cm/360 in overwatch when back calculated while the original overwatch sensitivity was 40.75 cm/360. I had an idea to try to first start with the windows sensitivity and just keep changing the WPS and dpi values until i got a close base length to my known overwatch base length of 13.39 cm. I got very close to that base length, as you can see in the first picture. When I reversed the calculation, the base length came out to 17 cm, not the original 13, causing the discrepancy to be very large, which you can see in the second picture. Does this matter? What is base length, anyways?

When using viewspeed, I am trying to convert my overwatch sensitivity to a windows / desktop speed (first pic). How do I know when I get a quality match? Am I trying to get the lowest discrepancy valve underneath base length as possible? When trying to get the lowest discrepancy value possible, I noticed that changing the windows value to 4 gave me the lowest discrepancy value of -31%, which didn't seem to be that great. Out of curiosity, I ran the test backwards with putting in the windows values that I got from the first test (550 dpi, 4 windows) to get an overwatch sensitivity (second pic). I was expecting close to the same overwatch sensitivity values that i started with (400 dpi 8.5 sens), but they are not even close, as you can see. I am obviously doing something wrong. Can someone help me get my overwatch sensitivity of 400 dpi, 8.5 sens, 6 windows, 24.5 inch monitor, 1920 x 1080 resolution to properly match a desktop / windows sensitivity?

Is 360 degrees output a ratio? Because I will be using that value for the xbox conversion, since overwatch pc sensitivities are not used in xbox.

Oh okay. So, just to confirm, the monitor size in the convert to does not matter? You could be converting it to a 100 inch or 10 inch monitor and it would output the same values?

I was specifically referring to "Monitor Size", sorry about that.

Thanks for the quick response. So when I'm inputting values to the convert to section (the viewspeed), the monitor distance keeps on getting locked out. How do I change that? Or is it completely irrelevant? I'm trying to convert my overwatch sensitivity on a 24.5 inch monitor 103 fov to a 15 inch windows desktop and also to a 24 inch overwatch profile with 90 fov (i use mouse and keyboard on xbox and xbox uses 90 fov for overwatch). Like I said, I can't change the monitor size in the convert to section.

Stupid question, but the calculator is only showing the option of either sensitivity or distance for me. How do I use the viewspeed method? I'm an idiot, I figured it out.
