WTF Is The Best Mouse Sensitivity?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2024
- If you’ve ever so much as installed a competitive FPS, there is one ever-present question you’ll never stop asking yourself: What sensitivity should I play on?
From cracked high sens-kiddies to OG low-sens arm-aiming Counter-Strike aficionados, this might just be the single most hopelessly unanswerable question in gaming.
For some players it’s what haunts them every time they hop in the server, causing them to smash escape every time they lose a gun fight.
So, what is this so-called God sens? Well, let's find out together.

3000+ hours in CS:GO.... Still feel that I haven't found my sensitivity yet.
literally, and same goes for the res. I might have found the most trash sens(800x1.33) and the ugliest res ever(1440x1080 stretched) and i've been feeling invincible with those hahaha
I found mine and it‘s low. It‘s fucking low.

same here 4753 and i still didnt find and when i take a pause i always strange my sense
@@AhriUwU Bro there was time that i used 1600 dpi and 4.1 sense , and now i use 400 dpi and 3.2 sense
Petition to please start using cm per 360 (centimeters it takes to do a full 360 in game moving your mouse from point a to point b) to discuss mouse sensitivity rather than eDPI, I feel that is conceptually easier to understand with a physical comparison.
or maybe just use radian as a unit instead of going for cm per 360.... idk i agree that might actually work..
its also more accurate, since edpi doesnt reflect your cm/360. you have to take into account the game and also the fov.
im an american and i would rather use the metric system lol

@@adamhenrikson4549 there is no such thing as a 1:1 multiplier, they're saying it's a 1:1 multiplier with "eDPI", but they just invented their own scale, and there is no such thing as "matching your desktop sensitivity" because it's a 3D perspective projection, you can only do it for certain distances, but that's incredibly arbitrary

@@User-xw6kd Difference between hitting the odd jumping op shot and literally being able to accurately kill people mid air. The old scout is a good comparison for how "accurate" Valorant gun play is.
I always try to get my sensitivity to feel like my hand/arm movement matches the distance travelled in game. It helps to feel in control of the character. If it's too high I feel like it is completely out of control but if it's too low I feel like it's unresponsive, no matter how much easier it might be to hit accurate shots.
^^ true bro same
same here, feels like you are actually holding the weapon
This is something I still struggle with because some days I feel like I need to lower it, or need to raise it. Honestly annoying I just can't get used to my arm and wrist aiming.
Its easy dud i used to hade same problem download your mouse app and put in 400 dpi and in game put in like 2.0 and play like 1 or 2 min if you feel is to low put in 500 or 800
Play like 2 min tack your time
If that did not work then i hade same problem someday i have perfect sens and some day its very low
It could be your mousepad my hand are very sweaty all sweat go in mousepad make it hard to move so clean your mouse pad or buy hard pad
you should never change your sens on a small samplesize or frustration. It comes down to hand to eye coordination and fine motoring skills. If you choose to try another sens, play on it for a couple of weeks at least and make sure you have a consistent aim warmup before your games.
just stop changing it, or else how are u gonna get used to it? ive used the same sens for 7 years now and my aim has gotten pretty good
If you want to do a full rework, do a modified method of Ninja(idk if he’s pro tho). Go in deathmatch starting way low and increase it a bit whenever you died bc u aimed too slow. Get used to it when that stops. Onto unranked. Then stay.
Same, took me some time to realize its my mousepads inconsistent not me. After i play 2 more games it became slippery and f*ck up my muscle memory
That was some Overwatch hitscan style aim from Tenz there in that clip. I like it.
I learned the solution to this problem a long time ago (literally over 15 years ago), it's actually pretty basic when you think about it, and it's not a hard number either. Here's how you get the best sensitivity for your own setup:
1) Figure out how much hand movement is comfortable to do and do quickly with your setup (this may be constrained by space if you don't have much room for your mouse, or it just my be a matter of how you sit at your setup and how your rest your hand on the mouse).
2) Once you've figured out #1, tune the sensitivity in game so that, starting roughly in the middle of your available space, you have enough range of motion to turn about 210 degrees in either direction comfortably, and quickly (you wanna be able to do a 180+ some wiggle room easily and very quickly if needed).
3) Once you've got this value in the ballpark, don't change it for a while. Give yourself plenty of time to get used to it, you need to (re)program your muscle memory and that *will* take time and practice. Practice for consistency first, speed second, if you try too hard to be quick, you'll be training inconsistency and which will lead to bad (inaccurate) flicks.
The reason why you want the sensitivity only as high as is needed to do #2 on this list is because any higher and your just giving away potential precision for no reason, you don't need more than ~210 degrees of motion in each direction to comfortably be able to point yourself in any direction you need to.
At least you have put a lot of thought into it.
@@clatzeo This was partially based on conventional wisdom in the FPS game I played pvp in a lot back in the day (the original CoD), still has some of highest skill expression aiming in FPS games ever. In that game, you wanted as much precision as you could get without saccing your ability do a quick 180 in close quarters.
colten's moustache just *Holds SO Much POWER!!!*
Is it you colten?
Yeah along with his anime deskmat
For anyone who is confused on how the eDpi in valorannt are so high, its a calculation based on csgo values not valorant
I was hella confused as the actual average eDPI on Valorant is around 280eDPI. Thanks for that clarification.
I think they introduced Counter Strike's eDPI first in the video, so they decided to let that be consistent throughout.
The average VALORANT pro eDPI is ~ 270, not 1028
lmao my eDPI is 240 and got so confused for a sec
Yeah I was gonna say that’s like 1.25 on 800 dpi like wtf
“But in valorant specifically we have seen players week in week out dominate on insanely high sensitivities” *shows clip of TenZ on a low sens*
The one thing that helped me get better in games, Dont overthink shit. Pick a sens when you start, do minor adjustments for your liking. Stick with that sens and dont change it. That way you build muscle memory. Sensitivity is such a personal preference, there are obviously extremes but play with whatever makes you the most comfortable.
Damn production's been ramping up lately
I don't kid around. >.
allow me to correct some points here:
1) tenz edpi gravitates around the 300 not 900+
2) you can do fast flicks playing in low sens, I play with 264 edpi in every single one of my games from valorant to overwatch and I can track with no problems.
3) you HAVE to stick with one sens if you want to be consistent, aiming wit keyboard and mouse is a mechanical ability that’s why you use Koovaks or aimlabs to train your raw mechanics.
4) playing wit the Highest sens you can without losing control is the perfect recipe to injures, bad habits and frustration, is like wanting to learn how to use a chef knife but instead of learning how to grab it properly and how to position your other hand over the food in a claw to avoid cutting your godam fingers!, you start chopping like a champ until it happens.
5)professional valorant edpi is around 300 not 1000.
Dimitri : Asuna plays on whooping 1313 edpi
me with 2480 edpi : tsk, noob
Haha, my eDPI for Cold War is 4,160 lol. I play at 1600dpi.
@@Unavenged edpi is different depending on the game, in this video all edpi is translated to cs edpi
@@meistermagierinvoker for sure but still wanted to post mine since I’m betting it’s higher regardless.
@@Unavenged you would be at 1248 edpi (assuming you mean cod edpi with 4160) which is slightly higher than s1mples sens. its high but not by a ridiclious amount
@@meistermagierinvoker word, I might have to get on see what I come out with on CS:GO for real. COD is a much different beast.
Whenever I have days where I feel like my aim is trash, I just adjust my sensitivity in game depending on whether my mouse movement feels sluggish or too quick. After that, I just switch back to my previous sens. It works and helps me stay consistent.
6:01 ngl that was pretty sick lol
it looked scuffed
I always suggest people give 600 DPI a shot. A bit of an uncommon one as most opt for either 400 or 800, but when I tell y'all that I've never felt a more consistent combination of speed/precision before.. It really changed the game for me haha. Great video!
Might not be a thing now but originally mice had "native" dpi steps be every 400 dpi. Probably would never notice a difference between a native dpi step and one that's not but is a thing. So it was 400 or 800 and some ppl messed with 1200 and 1600. Not even sure what dpi's are typically native now I like how 800 dpi feels on desktop
They should be using 1000 DPI. Since 1920x1080 are the resolution, 2 inch movement = 2000Pixel(+80) and 1 inch movement is 1000Pixel(-80)
DPI debate is already over. The in-game sensitivity is what's still going to manipulate the DPI numbers, so now we are in the era of eDPI which is Sensitivity*DPI.
It's dots to travel per 1inch of mouse movements. The more dots there are, the more precise the mouse movement will be. The higher the better
The actual debate about DPI is related to "whether you need higher or not?", to which I say go for the higher number UNTIL the game cannot catch up with the precision.
Like some games don't even have 2nd decimal digit precision. I have played Far Cry 1 and that game has a very poor sensitivity-controlling "slider" by default.
To get very controlled cross-hair control, I instead have to lower my mouse DPI to the lowest number possible or else the high DPI makes the sens slider useless. It's like 1-10, but no 1.1 or 5.7 etc.
So older games require low DPI to make the sensitivity-slider be useable. The newer games are coming with more "precise" sensitivity sliders, which can help leverage the more "dots per inch of movement" precision. And this is the reason that 1600 DPI is just what the folks lock-in because most newer games goes well with it compared to old games which were released on the era when 400 DPI was the default on most mouse.
2:37 It's important to note that while high dpi can create noise and/or other problems, using a very low dpi can create pixel skipping; especially at high sensitivities. So try to stay somewhere in the middle. I personally think that 400 dpi, thought very common isn't optimal. Depending on your mouse you might encounter problems if you go higher than 3200 dpi. That's why I like to recommend 800 to 1600 dpi.
Yes correct
Pixel skipping is a myth
@@Godzilla015 Its not a myth. It has been demonstrated that it exists. Whether it affects gameplay is a different question.
@@Godzilla015 It's about precision. If there are less pixels on screen, more dots for mouse will help lend to the correct pixel. There's a video on youtube by Optimum called "Why gamers are switching to higher DPI" that shows it.
@@clatzeo myth.

Me who used to unironically play on 4k dpi: fuck

"Uhhhhhh 650 sounds good."
I feel you man. These new mice and their ridiculous dpi stages going up to like fuckin 25000 made me think that my dpi was supposed to be a lot higher. Like 5-6 years ago I played at 9k dpi lmao.
@Upsite Realone My mouse at the time went up to 16K dpi so I thought it was normal. Sometimes I thought my DPI should be higher considering how high it could go. Little did I fucking know it was all a gimmick 🤣
@Upsite Realone Oh my god! Combat arms. What a classic!
There is a point to using high DPI and low ingame sens. Pixel skipping and input lag.

This is just what was going through my head after switching from older to newer shooters. I always tended to go as low as possible, but, like said in the video, the goal now is to play as high as i can without losing control over my aim. Nice vid
right after the video ended an ad popped up and it was Tenz dominating aimlabs.
WTF bruh
depends on what you guys are used to. ive played extremely high sens and have gotten so used to it that i can make accurate micro adjustments in the millimeters that look like people who play on low sens. how high you may ask? 4.1 cm/360 distance high. crazy thing is that i used to play at even higher sens and still kicked ass.
Every brazilian at 2:20 "VOCÊ ACHA QUE O FLAMENGO É TIME?"
Nice catch.
Kkkkkk
Kkkkkk
Very good video. except for one thing:
If you ever talk about sensitivity across multiple FPS games, instead of using eDPI and relying on the games inner multiplier, you should use cm/360 or in/360 as that is the same across all games. For example 1300 eDPI in CS:GO is about 4333 eDPI in Overwatch, while they are both 31.97cm/360, so it might make a little less confusing (I was probably the only confused person but still).
Other than that I found this video really interesting. As an Overwatch player, it's interesting to see how a low sens in OW is high on others. For example s1mple's sensitivity is lower than the average Overwatch League DPS player cm/360, and just a little higher than the average Overwatch League Hitscan player's cm/360, while high sensitivity in Overwatch, like Pine's(Player known for his legendary plays on the New York Excelsior in season 1 of the OWL, now playing for the Dallas Fuel) sensitivity, which is about double than that of Asuna's or s1mple's, while simultaneously being one of the most insane Hitscan players in OW's history.
I think the sens argument is especially interesting in games like destiny 2 where movement absolutely off the chain. Like I know people playing on everything from 500 eDPI to 3500 eDPI. And from what I’ve seen it works out for both sides of the coin. I personally operate on about 2000 eDPI.
as someone who played everything between 600 and 2000, what matters is changing the sens over time to find the one that works for YOU at THAT TIME, for me every week I analyse my aim and increase or decrease my sens acordingly, and my sens used to be high, like I could do a 360 with my wrist high and still hit headshots like nobody's business, and overtime it went down to average levels and now increasing again, I noticed that I cant hit flicks anymore as I started playing valorant so its increasing
and if you are wondering, for some fucking reason I can no longer hit headshots, I used to be simple and now I'm just a filthy casual, I just don't get it, I used to be so good and it hurts me knowing that I used to be able hit shots that I no longer can T_T
"You can't crank 90s on a low sens and expect to beat these kids"
That time when Raider464 was using 68cm/360 😆
I feel like a good sensitivity is the minimal amount of hand movement while still keeping the high accuracy.
So why can't I find that sensitivity?
do 1600dpi 1.1725
ive always had very little room to move my mouse so i love high dpi and high sens
I legit do not understand how TenZ maintains his consistency after changing sensitivity on a daily basis
Just as using the same sensitivity for a long time can develop the skill through familiarity to hit shots consistently, changing your sensitivty and adapting quickly is also a skill that can be improved upon.
muscle memory in aiming is a myth, if you have good mouse control you'll be fine with every sensitivity
@@kubus_puchatek ^
@@kubus_puchatek voltaic brudda
In the yuki aim dc I actually found an article and a program thats just about randomizing your sens for training purposes. But this mostly just works for people who have no problem and have good muscle memory
regardless of your game, start anywhere between 25cm/360 (high sens) and 50cm/360 and you'll be fine. I personally never strayed out of the 35cm/360 to 43cm/360 range though. You can literally play any game with that and be good. OW might be 35, CS might be 43 for instance. Nothing wrong with using different sens for different games either. Pretty much a myth. Also fun fact: this range will be considered low or high depending on who looks at it. CS will consider everything here outside of 50 high, while any new PC player will think anything under 20 is 'too low to game with'.
I really wish you guys mentioned cm/360
its the only valuable metric

YO HOLOLIVE SOUNDBITES AT THE END LOL
I was waiting for Dimitri to adress mouse accel :(.... You guys could interview pinguefy about it, he made a pretty cool video about his experience with it and all the misconceptions about it.
Probably would've been better to interview KovaaK about it, as he actually had a hand in creating it and has a much deeper understanding, he's also more of an aiming icon given the fact that he created the most popular Aim Trainer.
5:03 "since if the enemy is behind you, well... you are already dead"
about that... yes and no.
My mouse sensitivity is aligned with my emotional sensitivity, 800 DPI at 2.0 in game sense on Valorant.
You guys should check out povohats/Kovaaks mouse accel, or Raw Accel. it’s the best of both worlds, and research before you start arguing with me. It’s not your traditional ingame trash acceleration multiplier, it’s the best posible implementation of it.
"It kinda makes sens" an unwanted pun I must have been to only on to hear
The idea that you need to stick to one sensitivity is mostly wrong because what’s understood as “muscle memory” isn’t really a thing.
The reason why sticking to one sensitivity is comfortable isn’t because you’d have to “learn” a different sensitivity, it’s because having played just one sensitivity means you have only developed the mouse control for the specific arm, wrist and finger movements common to that sens. Mouse control is simply your fine muscle control when aiming.
Different sensitivities require different mouse movements: the lower your sensitivity the more arm movements matter, while the higher your sensitivity the more wrist and finger movements matter.
This means that different sensitivities are only uncomfortable if you don’t have the required mouse control for the movements that sens will make you perform when aiming. So, that disproves the idea of muscle memory.
Now, the reason why you shouldn’t try to convert your sensitivity and stick to that is that by doing that you’re limiting the mouse control aspects that you train. So think of sensitivity as a tool when training: use higher sensitivities to target microadjustments, use lower ones to develop your arm speed if necessar, etc.
I change my sensitivity constantly depending on whether I’m trying to grind a score or train a certain aspect of mouse control, etc. And it’s probably the reason why aim training has helped so much, because this means I haven’t neglected certain movements due to the “bias” a sensitivity has.
We measure sensitivities in cm/360 because this allows to get a good visual idea of how fast a sensitivity is, lots of calculators online can help you calculate this. I personally train on anything in the 25-50cm/360 range and my siege 1x is 50cm, acog is around 80 ig and the rest I don’t even know.
The point is, don’t ever stick to a sensitivity, the better aimers are good because they have the mouse control to do all mouse movements necessary. And different sensitivities help
Help train that better*

MENGÃO porra
I also agree that your sensitivity should be as high as you can handle, while still being able to control the small movements that are required for your game. Everybody's sensitivity threshold is different, but identifying the highest possible threshold while still maintaining precision is important. You never want to go lower unless it's absolutely necessary, because then you're capping your potential.
The same talk can actually go the other way. As higher sens loses control, lower sens gains more control while reducing the speed of your movements. The more control you have the more you can leverage it.
This is the reason higher refresh rate monitors sell, because they give more control to make decision quicker. The same goes for mouse refresh rate, and the same goes for sens.
The more control of the situation the better. It's just that Sensitivity has trade off attached to it.
You are right about the potential part. If a certain sens allows you to leverage certain abilities of yours which can only be utilized from certain sens, then play to your strengths would be preferred in competing scenarios.
Just play low & high sens at the same time.

0.97 sens is where it’s at för perfect sense
Shaiiko's ADS sens in equivalent to 5 hipfire.
Yep, and using a hip fire like 12 is nice for maximizing your space vs your low ads sens (at least in siege).
Also it’s no longer 5 his ads sens, it’s slightly slower now because he’s using 46 instead of 49, so he’s on like 4.8 or something
I used to play CSGO with mouse acceleration on (by accident) and after watching this video I think it makes sense to actually use it. I actually got really used and good with acceleration on (take into account it was only on 1.05 or something like that). I was faster in game when I wanted to be (because of quikly flicking or checking corners) and I was slower when I needed to be precise. The more and more I think about it, the more acceleration actually makes sense. People always dubbed it to be "inconsistent", but it's actually just as consistent as not using it. You just need to know how quikly to move your arm/wrist, which basically just translates to muscle memory.
Tbh it seems pretty clear that higher sens is optimal because you can teach yourself to move a mouse slowly and precisely while also being able to flick. Higher sens seems optimal to me because if you can really control it you’ll get better
No, it's much harder to hit where the trying to hit.. It can be impossible
@@RealParadoxed?
@@tidal1998 It's because you're skipping over lots of pixels with a high sens
@@RealParadoxed that’s dependent on how hard you flick, the if you’re able to control the high sens and go slow to fast it’s better as I said.
@@tidal1998 Only to an extent though
I've been using the same sens for every game for the past 4 years, even minecraft. I can picture how far my screen will move based on how much I moved my mouse in my head, even while I'm at work. It's ingrained into my brain.
1600 dpi OW: 3.7 CS: 1.11
Me:"missed all shots On a standing Ai"
Tenz: Haha aim go brr
IIRC for Overwatch you want the lowest ingame Sensitivity possible while cranking up your DPI to make up for it because the Sensitivity setting on OW causes it to skip pixels the higher it goes. I usually stick to that principle of setting your DPI higher and ingame Sens lower just in case.

2k hours in cs go . was lvl 10 faceit and global offensive my sens was 1.0 - dpi 800, 1280x1024 was perfect sens for me but now that i didnt play in so long i dont feel it anymore
can u make a video about does putting your keyboard on a angle actually improve you?
It simply gives your more space for your mouse, if you have a low edpi
idk about you guys, but I feel like cm/360 is an easier metric to understand for sens than edpi. I don't know my edpi but I know I play 35cm/360, I don't know what 1300 edpi feels like, and I know that some newer gamers think a "high" sens is like 5cm/360, so when you say that, they might get the wrong idea.
10:15 Where is he getting these super high edpi numbers? Because according to prosetting, Asuna has:
DPI
1400
Sensitivity
0.295
eDPI
413
How is the average 1k edpi?
Exactly I would also like to know
The did not get it right average edpi is more like 270.
They multiplied for Valorant to Source Engine for comparison probably, they should have said that
@@MysticRixel They did. They mention that they change the edpi to cs:go equivalent (when they explain what edpi is), which is the best 1:1 edpi comparison out there.
@@Kyunin9 You are right, I should have paid more attention. Thanks!
I just love their banter snd casual roasting
Great work, this show is better than expected
Answer: there is no "godsense" thats also why its pointless to ask some pros for there sens its pwersonal preference LOL
In all reality starting with high sens or low sens is just giving you an initial boost to either speed or precision.
Look at S1mple, Hiko, they are fast and have LEARNED to be precise more than even a lot of low sens pros, look at Niko, he as well is fast when he needs to be too. A lot of pros say to pick a sens that's as fast you can manage, but if you practice your aim and mouse control at higher sens, eventually you could even go higher and start working on that, if you wanted.
Kovaak's is a great tool to help cement these sensitivities into your subconscious and "muscle memory," but picking one sens and expecting it to actually help you play better so significantly that you go from mediocre aim to great aim is unrealistic.
Whatever sens you choose, practice it with aim trainers, takes time but worth the effort if you enjoy improving yourself.
U dont need aim trainers
Bro, all this time i though that my sens was really low, but i just did the math and it turns out i'm playing with a sens that's only 30 edpi lower than Asuna's sens, i feel like my entire life is a lie
i thought mine was pretty midranged but theni found out i had a 1600 eDPI lmaoo
@@3finn I play on 2400 edpi lmao
@@bl.edxardo how?
@@diegoteixeira2003 with my hands
After this video and after Tenz words about experimenting with sensitivity, I've changed my sens from 800edpi up to 1200edpi and i feel AMAZING. I finally found sens that i like and and enjoy playing with. So don't be scared to just some things up.

Somehow this new show cracked is one of the best stuff I have ever seen. I totally love this series and I wanna learn more about this
superior mouse accel gang where u at
Ye boiiii povohat's represent
b-but muh MUSCLE MEMORY!!!!
Lets goo. Raw accel. I love it
@@obsu OH NOOO😿😿😿😿😿😿😪😪😿
I feel as though you missed some pretty crucial explanations, like how higher sense can cause less fatigue or strain, while lower sense can cause higher fatigue or strain.
Or also taking into account the shakiness of people's hands, because personally I play slow sense cause my hands shake a little.
The video was overall great, but I feel like these other aspects in why people pick the sense they do were missed.
I swear I'm not trying to be negative, it was in general a good video 👍😁
Is that even a question... It's always the highest sens.
No it depends on setup I aim coached someone who played an insanely high sense on rainbow 6 siege, he was shit at micro adjustments. I told him to get a heavy mouse without ptf feet and he was able to micro adjust so it depends on setup I think the upper end of mid sense is better but preference truly is key
I used to play on such a high sens that you could see my crosshair shake when I was cold or clutching
Highest you can go without losing control. I feel like that's the answer but it will still differ for some people.
Im a CSGO Player
I tested all sensitivities between 700eDPI to 2000eDPI ... I've played with 2000eDPI for years and now I'm sitting on 800eDPI... For me, when you use a low sensitivity you feel you have a lot more control of what you are doing, but at the same time, your aim doesn’t improve, you just feel more control over your sens, it’s hard to explain, but i think sens doesnt really matter as long as you don't use a sens that is super high. BTW, I reached global playing with 1700-2000eDPI
Btw muscle memory is a myth in aiming, so technically you should be okay even changing your sens everyday, so don't be afraid of changing it until you find what you feel comfortable with
No it isnt just try swaping crouch and jump buttons and play a match you will know. It will take you days to adjust and get used to it. Muscle memory isn't about sensitivity its about game mechanics. Muscle memory tells you how much you should flick or move to aim and shoot irrespective of sensitivity.
@@hailyeah8657 basically hand eye coordination?
@@ion9753 ??. Its muscle memory when u are in a game u will 100% hit crouch instead of jump because your brain adapted to it and it will take time to make ur brain adapt to the new snap controls.
@@hailyeah8657 but you said muscle memory isn’t about sensitivity, and I’m guessing in your argument that changing sensitivity equates to changing controls. So?
@@ion9753 umm yeah but it takes less time to adjust to a new sensitivity. When your brain knows the game mechanics and how guns fire and work then it can adjust to variety of sensitivity. Changing sensitivity won't affect much u will get used to it quickly
Y'all still haven't talked about (Linear) mouse acceleration. It's the holy grail of Quake pro level aiming versatility. There is no compromise - get 180's and also have your absurd precision. Plus the amount of customization you can do on your accel curve good lord.
Bro I went to pro settings and I'm so confused that all their edpi is like between 200 - 400 but none of them are above 1000 edpi like what you said in the video, then when i look on the internet they are all mixed up saying 300 edpi is high while 900 edpi is not that high??? which one is true here? I'm complete newbie at this dpi thingy so confused man
yeah I think they mixed up edpis between different games which obviously don't translate since it relies on in-game sensitivities. basically don't trust the edpis shown in this video and continue to do what you did by looking up each pro's settings.
1.0 sensitivity in csgo is equal to 0.314 in valorant and the value they have shown are in csgo values. Sad they did not mention this in their video.
I have a potentially stupid question. Why do most players use a DPI that is a multiple of 400? Like he said 400 800 1600 are the most common. I for instance play at 500, is there something inherently wrong with me doing so?
Meanwhile halo pros used 1 sensitivity to never miss a shot
I run entry fragger in cs. 2.8 sens 400 dpi. If u have good mouse control use high sens. If you have bad mouse control use low sens. Slowly learn your abilities in aiming and fps adjust your sens to ur game. You’ll at a bare minimum get to above avg if your aim good.
Sensitivity can also vary on game genres, on arena shooters you might have a higher sens to be able to track while bhopping, and lower for other games.
Players like JJonak play on crazy low sensitivities (above 80 cm360) while others like Haksal or Pine play closer to 5 cm360.
If yall want a real answer, the perfect sens is one that allows you to use your fingertips, wrist, forearm, and upper arm altogether in unison, in a way you feel the most comfortable with.
So, in other words, a sens that is so high that you can only use your fingertips and wrist, or a sens that is only your forearm and upper arm, is trash. You need to use something that takes advantage of all the tools you have at you disposal.
A lot of the real aimers go by cm/360 so for example i like playing somewhere in the range of 27-35cm/360 for most fps games
Dimitri: 1312 eDPI is insanely high
Me: using 2300 eDPI and feeling its still not enough
wait so i shouldn’t be using 270 eDPI??? 😭💀
nope, the video has fake stats, your 270 edpi is the average
Well, Michu has 376 edpi and hes playing on professional level :v
@@howiios4131 I think they are used CSGO edpi, not valorant one, that is the difference, because it's not the same on between games. Same eDPI is different at CSGO and Valorant
@@howiios4131 You need Divide your CS sens by 3.16-3.3 and you get your Valorant sens
@@gomfer0817 Nobody said we are talking about valorant so I gave an example from csgo
