Disabling mouse acceleration is a life changing option that I never even knew was affecting my gameplay. Thanks a ton.

[@ecl1pse_440]

I knew how bad it was but never realized I had it on lol

@@ecl1pse_440 i had it off but i factory reset my pc a while back and i had on the whole time

[@MrNoBody198]

I never knew what it did precisely, I just saw the word “enhanced” and enabled it. I’m a bit of a PC dummy.

[@sergiotapia626]

That’s like the first thing I check to see if it’s enabled or not when I get a new game I honest spend about 10 mins in the menus when I get a new game before I even play it

[@danielscountry9884]

I have watched tons of videos on this subject. No exaggeration, this is the first and best i have watched that actually helped me understand in all the details what I needed to do. Thanks alot

[@johnyrambo3]

This is the best sensitivity guide I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot. You sir are doing an excellent job here.

[@dewaldharrington6695]

This video is so in-depth and truly helpful, no other video on KZbin even comes close to explaining it like this, well done sir ! Salut!

[@TheEpicPancake]

Do note that while windows mouse accel is really bad for reasons I won't elaborate on, custom drivers can offer customizable mouse accel curves that offer a perfectly workable foundation for your muscle memory to build on. I've used one for years since I have relatively limited mouse space but prefer lower sensitivities, so that way I can manage the high and the low without just getting a new desk, pad, and muscle memory for the new boundaries. It genuinely improved my quality of life tons.

[@spaljenimaslacak7663]

I used 0.44/0.44 (400dpi) a long time, recently changed to 0.64/0.61 and feels a lot better. Before I found myself on the edge of mousepad a lot of times and slaming mouse into keyboard when swiping (mousepad is 48cm x 41cm), so whenever I was engaging multiple players liftoffs were unavoidable so I died a lot that way. I don't have that good sense in Tarkov to always know where people could be, which is another problem, but this way I react a lot better personally. 0.64/0.61 I picked up from Bakeezy I think, don't know his dpi but I tried it and it worked.

[@garrettbyrd29]

Been PC gaming for 10 years. This is a very informative guide. Good work.

[@JustNL_]

I want to thank you mister! I had so much trouble with pin point aiming, even scavs one tap me to the head. I needed to adjust the settings on my mouse and in game and now it’s more accurate. Big thanks!!😁

[@SubwayJack919]

GREAT ADVICE. I literally adjusted my settings to take me down from my eDPI of 800 to 320 and my scores are instantly improving in AIM labs. I tried the streamer eDPI's but they felt way too low but as you saw with mine I was used to being way to high.

[@p.wittig8432]

What an incredible guide man, thanks for making this, you truly know what you're talking about

[@IIchicgo]

Judging by this video and what my mouse was set to, I basically imported my super high sens settings from photoshopping and games such as Warzone. I went into a factory raid with the new settings, I'm still rusty but man, I can flick to head,eyes almost instantly. The only downside is that my desk is rather small and so is my mousepad, which made a 180 flick very very hard. I'd hardly ever be able to do it unless my mouse was all the way at the left and I moved it all the way to the right. So I'm now basically using Pest's settings but even a little more sensitive. I've gotten used to the high sens I had and playing with only 200 eDPI is too big of a difference. My mouse used to be set to 900DPI and tarkov to 0.7. Basically running at 630 eDPI. I was great with sniping but CQB was just flicking to the center mass and spray and pray. The difference is amazing. It turned into a whole different game. Curious to see how long it takes my autistic ass to adjust.

[@alphabread1935]

Does pointer speed also get involved, i am at 10 on the microsoft mouse pointer speed

[@Rjoots]

HAHAHA for 4 years i was playing with the mouse acceleration on! so much better now!! tnx allot dude, very very helpfull!

[@BeanMann]

i have a half size mousepad, so one wrist movement is 180 at edpi 440 (850 * 0.52) and that seems to work fine, ill be sure to update it when i get a better setup but its interesting to note. I learned to play apex at and EDPI of 2550.0 (850 x 3).

[@DyM_TV]

what about aiming sensitivity in tarkov? we can set it up as well. should we try to keep it same as main mouse sensitivity or go higher or lover? any suggestions ?

[@Maxtorym]

Edpi does this calculation allso work in like hunt showdown?

[@___m16]

Great tips will be putting this to work tonight I also will be trying the ak 101 budget build ! :)

[@mickjaegar2379]

one of the things you notice watching old videos of tarkov from alpha/early beta is "wow, everyone had their sens way too fucking high lol"

[@KoNine9]

Before I searched for those stuff, I played with 2000 dpi and 1.0 1.0 in tarkov. I went down to 800 dpi 0.5 0.5 for a year. Didn't made my aim any better, now I forgot how to play high sense.. And every setting I try... Sometimes I overshoot sometimes don't... I can't figure a good sens anymore 😢

[@TheSupertuffe]

Great advice! You rock! 🙂

[@dylepot4195]

Merci mec! Tu as expliquer correctement un problèmes qui pour moi été encore très flou... Je me disais que les pro joueais avec un dpi et une sens très haute alors que pas du tout.... Merci !!

[@DemVerse]

Should I be using 1 to 1 aiming sensitivity?

[@xKalxElx]

Idk how tf people play on 400 dpi, I’ve played on 2000 for years, and on tarkov I play with .4 .4 the mouse precision acceleration thing was really throwing me off but I also don’t move my arm at all when playing, just the wrist

[@DanL90]

my DPI has been at 1200 and my in game was set at 1.03 lol, i changed my dpi to 400 and clicking around the game menu feels very very weird, is a high dpi really that bad to use? i only looked into all of this because i felt like i wanted to match my ads sensitivity to my normal one as sometimes when im aiming i feel resistance... i feel like it throws me off on aiming quick and accurate because it moves too slow. idk why all of the pros or streamers use low dpi but maybe they played pc so long that its what they all started with.. the way i hold my mouse makes it awkward to make big adjustments using the whole mouse pad, maybe i need to either get used to that and a lower dpi to be better or high dpi just works for me.

[@wibble2482]

Yeah I got the same thing, my DPI is 2400 and setting it to something like 450 makes my mouse draaaaaaag across the screen extremely slow. I don't understand it.

[@DanL90]

@@wibble2482 I think its just being used to something, if you are used to higher then stay with it. I lowered my sensitivity in game a little bit for ADS but thats all.

[@thisisntmadeinchina]

Higher dpi is better in some areas, you can make smaller mouse angle adjustments, particularly useful at long range, the mouse movement doesn't feel robotic and choppy and the input lag is considerably lower compared to let's say 450dpi. 3200 dpi I would say is the highest dpi you can reasonably control in 2d environments (in game menus, such as the inventory) with the 2d cursor, whilst being able to have super fluid and responsive movement in game. In my testing, using 3200 dpi made my aim too fluid if that makes any sense, my mouse tracking the tiniest amount of movements, making my aim pretty shaky, this is my fault in part because I'm used to consuming a lot of caffeine and thus have shakier hands. Personally I recommend picking a dpi you feel really comfortable using in Windows, and finding a sensitivity in game that lets you turn 180 degrees with a quick comfortable swipe of the mouse, and 360 degrees by picking the mouse up and landing it a comfortable and memorable distance to the left and then swiping to the right from there until you spin 360 degrees.

[@D0G5Coolpat11]

high dpi low sens is best.

[@amiinside91]

Technically, the higher the dpi the lower the latency. It’s pretty widely agreed upon that 1600dpi is the sweet spot bc it’s still fairly easy to control the cursor. I use 800 just because i prefer the cursor speed and some games won’t let the sensitivity slider go down far enough for a comfortable sens. High>Low dpi.

[@Grizzl.y]

my sensitivity is fine for iron sights and CQB optics, but anything else is insanesly slow, it is impossible to snipe or use even acogs

[@GSKYYT]

dows the windows mouse sensitivity setting affect this at all? this could throw off all the calculations.

[@jedsanford7879]

Another wildcard for DPI is actually resolution

[@Hosenbund1]

also fov

[@UncleOji]

Man this was a game changer for me. I had my mouse movement speed all the way down with like 700 dpi and I was wondering why my sens was still super high in game with it turned all the way down. Now I can navigate the inventory and aim way easier. Thank you!

[@crazygone5107]

What would you recommend for aiming sensitivity? Roughly the same as regular looking around (game sens) or slower. My problem is stairways and such but I've lowered my sensitivity some and it is more work but I'm much more accurate. Just started on mouse and keyboard a little over a year ago and EFT was my first game. I learned how to k&m on tarkov. Then I hated it and moved to controller on tarkov hahaha. Any tips would be appreciated .

[@arteyy3388]

some people prefer it slower than the look sens, though I like it to be at the same value, because it doesn't force you to get used to two different values of aim or look.

[@pietervanschalkwyk3700]

Amazing info! Thank you!

[@johnnywick1110]

i just tested out 400, 450 dpi with 0.55 sens and man, how the hell do you play with such low dpi? you have to use your mouse pad like its some nascar race track. i found 550 dpi and 0.55 sens to be a decent starting ground.

[@Levi-uw5lr]

I have big Problems with the movement of the gun. unlike in shootern like cs its always moving a little which throws me off..

[@hugosantana6139]

Omg, sooo good thanks !

[@gendoslice5971]

i also wonder if fov has any impact in the speed of movement as well

[@Nebujin383]

Nope, it has not... it is all your visual Perception. Higher FOV causes some sort of Effect, kinda similar to the Fish Eye Effect. It stretches what is close to you while center Objects seem to be further away, while also expanding the overall View, which only means that it appears as if you are walking faster but it is not the case. The best example is Racing Games with Bumper-Cam/Perspective vs Rear-Cam. The latter feels slower, but it is not. EDIT: "All a Matter of the Perspective".

[@thousandsunny999]

pest dpi is 800 and he plays 0.35 or 0.37

[@jay-d8g3v]

feels perfect with 800, thanks

[@RuskiVodkaaaa]

lol I was playing with 1600 dpi at 0.23 sensitivity for the longest time because 'reddit' said high dpi = good. So different playing on 500 dpi at 0.51 sensitivity now lol

[@johnyrambo3]

Hello. I'm new to shooter games. I started this game and I struggled to find the correct sensitivity. What I have a problem with is what I would call "fine-tuning". I mean I can accurately aim at the enemy body, but when I need to make small adjustments, like for example aim from the body to the head it feels very unresponsive, and I always aim too much to the side. Long story short I have problems with small aim adjustments. Any suggestions anyone?

[@mazaltovcocktail]

So I've been playing at... uh... 1800 eDPI?

[@johnnywick1110]

Ty

[@rekire___]

People are sometimes blown away when I told them I have 1500 dpi, this is because I hate moving my hand across the table when I have low dpi settings Edit : I have 0.25 sense so my eDPI will be 375

[@matt260]

I play 1600 DPI and just lower my in-game, it depends if you arm aim or wrist aim. I think its bad that people copy pros and streamers its really all personal preference and consistency.

[@Nick-gm3sk]

do you have enhance pointer precision enabled? because I always had it enabled and I just turned it off and it feels so fucking weird

[@Romey1son]

[@matmat3485]

[@ScoopzyDaizy]

Jesus, Landmark's sensitivity is impossible to comprehend. I can sort of get it from the aiming standpoint, but LOOTING and navigating through the stash. JESUS, that must be tiresome, dude's right arm is working full time. I play at 1600 DPI with 0.35 in Tarkov because I prefer using my wrist over my entire freaking arm.

[@lorenzop.8249]

the problem is that EFT changes your sensitivity with gear... thats just stupid

Hey man thanks for the video. Just a question that I see no one mention : I'm wondering if the mouse sensitivity setting in windows (where you've disabled mouse acceleration) does affect the sensitivity in games or not.

[@lunarhalo6977]

It does. I turn mine down.

[@LumeNoir.]

Yes it does affect the speed but i would recommendet just to let it on standart and just adjust in game sensitivity and your dpi
