I want to find the perfect sensitivity for my playstyle in cs. Can you give me detailed tips and a practical method to test different sensitivities and determine which one is truly ideal for my aim, movement, consistency, and mouse control?

The average pro plays an eDPI of 800-1000. Start within that range and then I like to go into an aim training map and practice switching from bots heads. You want to do this in real speed, but notice if you are under or over flicking and adjust your sensitivity according. If you are going past the second bot, lower your sens, opposite if you aren't reaching the bot model. Once you find something you like, stick with it for a little bit before tweaking it. It takes time to form the muscle memory of "this guy is this far away on my screen, so I need to move my mouse this much"

Kinda wild how much of it comes down to just not changing it every week.

bro, get aimbotz on workshop map. hold crosshair on one bot and decide between some bots to flick on head, but dont shoot. you are too far away from head - you are too fast. you stop next to head - you are too slow.

\------O-------xO--- <-- too slow

\------O------Ox--- <-- too fast

i hope you understand

800dpi, 1.0 in-game sens. The perfect sensitivity for you is the one that you get used to, so you might as well get used to the gold standard for high level play for the past 2 decades. A relatively low sensitivity also means that you are forced to train your game sense, since flipping 180 isn't an easy option. In reality, if you're getting shot in the back: a.) Against anyone good, you'll be dead before you can respond, and b.) You've made a mistake to be in that situation. No crutches.

Get into the range of 700-1200 edpi and then fine tune from there if it feels too fast or too slow.

I will share a trick that works for every FPS - something I've done since the dawn of online FPS games and I've reached top level play in most FPS's I've played in using this simple trick the entire time. (First time I am publicly sharing this)

Set your hand on top of your mouse at your natural "resting" position, normally this is a straight arm, mouse straight forward in your palm. You want your wrist to be straight.

Now, lift the mouse off the pad and turn your wrist fully to the left as far as it will go, place the mouse down and without lifting move your wrist to the full right lock position. This full left to right locked position of your wrist should do a perfect 180 degree turn. (Aka, you look directly behind you, two motions with this should be a perfect 360 back to the start position).

This means at any point you need to quickly turn around it's a simple wrist full motion movement.

Then, if a game has high recoil or some other external factor that needs micro adjustments to sensitivity control lower the sensitivity offset by .25 at a time until it stops feeling off, micro-adjust up by .5 until it feels perfect.

In most cases you should need to do those micro-adjustments but in CS things like playing 4:3 stretched on a modern 16:9 monitor may cause unintended weirdness that you have to compensate for.

\\\\\* The exception to this rule is if you use some bizarre angled mouse grip... obviously that's not going to work as your wrist will move the mouse differently. This is more for standard grip users.

That's not how aiming works at all but Aim Botz is definitely a decent map to get a feel for it.

Horrible advice trying to get people to use only their wrist in a tac shooter of all things.

That's not how it works... the motion of wrist lock to wrist lock is going to be the same range as your standard swipe range. so even if you swipe your brain is going to associate the same distance it's how muscle memory forms / functions. If you watch pros handcams you will see the same range of their wrist is the same range of their swipe. This is why it's very easy to calibrate the way I described.

It's also super useful to quickly acclimate your mousepad, and natural muscle memory to any FPS within minutes of booting up the game.

Wow, horrible advice for cs. This is around the sens I use for titanfall, not a damn tac fps

Doesn't really matter if you change it or, it's kind of a myth it only takes like a week to adjust. There are been many pros that change there sens and nothing happens to their performance

Now if you change it daily that might be a different thing but you can definitely change it once in a while if you feel it is needed without worrying about losing all your muscle memory
