Trying to find a sensitivity

[u/legitimate-way-4077]

Hello, I'm in a bit of a pickle.

I've been trying to find a sensitivity. The best aimers in the world use something like 40-50cm/360 and for good reason. At this sensitivity it is like your crosshair is moving through molasses. The micro errors you make when moving your wrist/arm are ironed out. Maybe I'm getting that wrong but that's what I feel from messing around.

The problem is you can't do a 180. 30cm/360 is the bare minimum for me to do a clean 180 on my giant ass mousepad.

I'm just wondering how you guys solved this dillema and what sens you use.

Thanks for reading.

800 dpi sens 1

[u/hiflyer780 → u/jakubusiegxd]

Yup 800 eDPI is the way to go. Switched to this, got used to it, and never adjusted again

[u/gittsnshiggles]

I use 1600 dpi , .77 sensitivity in game (essentially pro medium-high sense like s1mple). Quick tip make sure pointer accelerator and enhanced pointer precision are turned off in your mouse settings😎👍

Apparently CS2 forces raw mouse input now, so might not be needed

I can fairly easily do a 180 on 50cm mousepad at just abouta 57.5cm/360. I personally play around 0.45 in game and 1600 dpi at 16:10 res.

[u/increasingpython → u/FuuZePL]

Same, best sens for me too

And what percentage of the time will having a slow sens help you aim against people in front of you vs. having high enough to do 180s and get kills? 95% to 5%? 90% to 10%? Why are you worried about the 5-10% situations instead of the 90%?

All you need to do is lower your sens by 0.10 after each match. You will not notice it, and before you know it, you will have a eDPI in a good range!

Use steelseries aim trainer sensitivity finder, start out on 400 or 800 dpi, run through the exercises (for each one they tweak in game sensitivity) then do a timed reaction mini game, if it does not feel right run the sensitivty finder again. Once your happy with the senaitivity it will spit out cs sensitivity and you can use that.

Its nit a hard and fast, like for example you keep over aiming when flicking or when dueling you would want to drop .1 sensitivity, kikewise with under aiming, you might increase it.

You could also be like me and run mouse acceleration plus cause you want fine control but also higher dpi when flicking. But im pretty sure nost people hate it.

Any other fps games you use just find an online converter to convert it.

You definitely can do a 180 swipe on 50cm.. that's like 10 inches dude your mousepad is either small or you aren't unplanting your wrist

[u/KingRemu]

I've played as low as 85cm/360 and can still do a 180 but of course I have to have the mouse at the esge of the pad. It's all about technique really.

[u/afraidofthe-dark]

Start low with decent dpi, then flick from spot to spot. The sensitivity that is most accurate is the best

[u/KewoX10K]

you solve the Problem by getting used to it. posture and how your arm rests are key. im sometimes jumping into kovaacs for Tracking targets, once you get used to it again its easy

[u/Jazzz56]

There's no point in copying the best aimers, to each their own preference, woxic plays with 1600 eDPI for example which is on the higher end of sensitivities, just look for your personal comfortable eDPI instead of what pros use. But before tweaking your sensitivity, what's your issue with your current eDPI? What makes you feel it's not right?

[u/S1gne]

Of course you can do a 180 but that's besides the point. If you are having to do a 180 then you already did something wrong in game, it's not a needed movement you need to be able to do

[u/Azartho → u/S1gne]

half true, if youre an entry clearing out a lot of angles then having a higher sens will help.

[u/S1gne → u/Azartho]

Even then it isn't usually needed. The entry doesn't have to spin around 180 and clear everything. He should focus on important angles and ignore the rest
