1. What is CM/360?

CM/360 (centimeters per 360 degrees) is a measurement that represents how many centimeters you need to move your mouse to complete a full 360-degree rotation in a game. It's a standardized way to compare sensitivity across different DPI settings.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ \text{cm/360} = \frac{360 \times 2.54}{\text{DPI} \times \text{Sensitivity}} \]

Where:

DPI — Dots per inch (mouse sensitivity setting)
Sensitivity — In-game sensitivity setting
2.54 — Conversion factor from inches to centimeters
360 — Degrees in a full rotation

Explanation: The formula converts mouse movement in inches to centimeters and calculates the distance needed for a full rotation based on your DPI and in-game sensitivity.

3. Importance of CM/360 Calculation

Details: Knowing your cm/360 helps maintain consistent muscle memory across different games and setups. Professional gamers often use this measurement to fine-tune their aiming precision.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your mouse DPI and in-game sensitivity. Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will show how many centimeters of mouse movement correspond to a full 360-degree turn in-game.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is cm/360 important for gaming?
A: It provides a consistent measurement of sensitivity that works across different games and hardware setups, helping players maintain muscle memory.

Q2: What's a typical cm/360 for FPS games?
A: Most professional FPS players use between 20-50 cm/360, with lower values for faster gameplay and higher values for precision aiming.

Q3: Does mouse pad size affect cm/360?
A: No, cm/360 is a measurement of sensitivity, but your mouse pad needs to be large enough to accommodate your preferred cm/360 for comfortable gameplay.

Q4: How does DPI relate to cm/360?
A: Higher DPI with the same sensitivity will result in a lower cm/360 (faster turning), while lower DPI increases cm/360 (slower turning).

Q5: Can I use this for console gaming?
A: This calculator is primarily for PC gaming with mouse and keyboard. Console controllers use different sensitivity measurements.
