A Quick Explainer on cm/360, and the Common cm/360 by Game!

You keep seeing players talk about cm/360. You want to understand what it means and how it helps. Here is a quick breakdown, but with a more natural flow.

cm/360 means how many centimeters your mouse moves on your mousepad to complete a full 360 degree turn in game. Move your mouse from one edge of your pad to the other. If that distance spins your camera in a full circle, that distance is your cm/360.

Lower sensitivity means you need to move your mouse more, so your cm/360 number is higher. Higher sensitivity means less physical movement, so your cm/360 number is lower.

Players started using cm/360 because sensitivity numbers do not match across games. Even players with the same sensitivity setting in two games feel something different because DPI, FOV, and game engines are not the same. cm/360 gives you one physical number you can use everywhere. It describes how your aim feels in your hand, not only on your screen.

This matters when you start aim training. Many new players ask if their sensitivity is too high or too low. There is no single answer because your best sensitivity depends on your mouse, mousepad size, desk space, posture, and comfort. But there are common ranges that help you choose a smart starting point. From there, you adjust based on control, comfort, and performance.

Let’s take a look at the common cm/360 ranges, collected by our friends at Voltaic.
