Sensitivity Settings
Finding Your Perfect Sensitivity
Sensitivity is one of the most personal aspects of your setup. While there's no "perfect" sensitivity that works for everyone, there are methodical approaches to finding what works best for you.
The Starting Point Method
Start with these baseline recommendations for different playstyles, then adjust gradually based on your comfort:
- Entry Fraggers: Medium-high sensitivity (eDPI 800-1200) for quick reactions and flicks
- Support Players: Medium sensitivity (eDPI 600-900) for balanced control
- Precision Riflers: Lower sensitivity (eDPI 400-700) for consistent, controlled aim
- AWPers/Snipers: Lower sensitivity (eDPI 400-600) for stable holding and micro-adjustments
The Calibration Method
Follow this step-by-step process to find your personalized sensitivity:
- Start with a medium sensitivity setting (eDPI around 800)
- Try tracking moving targets and notice if you're overshooting or undershooting
- Adjust your sensitivity by small increments (5-10%) based on your observations
- Test your ability to do a 180° turn with a single swipe of your available mousepad space
- Fine-tune until you find a balance between precision and speed
Important Considerations
Keep these factors in mind while finding your sensitivity:
- Mousepad Size: Larger mousepads accommodate lower sensitivities
- Mouse Weight: Lighter mice may work better with lower sensitivities
- Arm vs. Wrist Aiming: Arm aimers typically prefer lower sensitivities
- Consistency is Key: Once you find a comfortable setting, stick with it to build muscle memory
"The best sensitivity is the one that feels natural to you. Don't copy pro settings blindly—find what works for your unique playstyle and physical setup."
