Apex cannot reach a 1:1 match for this optic under the disclosed rule. Use this value if you want the closest available result.
Is ADS 1.0 the same as 1:1?
No. Except at 1x, leaving ADS at 1.0 makes the zoomed turn longer than hipfire.
1:1 means the same cm/360 as hipfire. That multiplier is 1 ÷ FOV scale, not 1.0.
On 2x (FOV scale 0.90), enter 1.111—not 1.0.
6x, 8x, and 10x need more than 2. Enter 2; the turn stays longer than hipfire.
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 page does not cover controller, ALC, or aim assist. Do not enter these numbers there. Cross-game conversion is a different tool.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is ADS 1.0 the same as 1:1 in Apex?
No. Only 1x matches at 1.0. Every other optic uses 1 ÷ FOV scale. If that number is above the slider max, you enter the max and it is not 1:1.
What is the ADS mouse sensitivity multiplier in Apex?
It is the per-optic value you type after you turn on Per Optic ADS Sensitivity. This page gives the value to enter for each zoom.
Why are 6x, 8x, and 10x capped?
Their 1:1 multiplier is above Apex's slider maximum. The closest value is that maximum, so ADS cm/360 stays longer than hipfire.
Does this work with a controller?
No. This page is mouse and keyboard per-optic ADS only. It does not cover controller, ALC, or aim assist. Do not use these numbers there.
