Gaming Mouse Tip: How to choose the right sensitivity

Mouse sensitivity is very important in First Person Shooters, a lot of players aren't really sure what sensitivity they should be using. Here are some trips and tricks I've used over the years to feel more comfortable.
My usual settings at the moment are 1600 DPI at sensitivity .85 to .94 (I change depending on the day), so roughly around 30cm/360. That's for all FPS games.
Some people prefer lower sensitivity in games like CS:GO. It's really up to you to find what's right for you.

Very true. Patience is key. I just started playing overwatch on 5 in-game sensitivity (had it on 30,21). I'll just keep using this and see if I get better.

And then slide it in...

[@ConcasicoWoodworks]

I always get nervous when playing multiplayer games, no matter if it is just a casual match. My body will instantly start to freak out, sweating hands, increased heart beat, hands shaking, you name it. It really messes with my mouse aim and my overall gaming experience. I actually get angry at myself the more I fail to aim properly because of my hands shaking and it is just a vicious cycle of me getting more and more nervous. But as you mentioned, maybe I should not care about those meaningless stats or about the other players judging me. Maybe I should just play to improve at my own pace and challenge myself just for fun, like playing with no crosshair which I actually found really fun to try. Of all the "improve your mouse aim" or "find the right sensitivity" videos out there you actually helped me remember to just have a good time.

[@hanspeterpitsch]

I mostly play ut2k4 instagib, and I can confirm this theory, although I didn't go for the high sens extreme. Started off with about 30cm/360, went to 40, then 50, and finally to something like 70, which is really hard to play with when it comes to movement. Today I forced myself back down to 40cm. What once felt slow is now ultra fast but I'm still stable enough to be consistant. Playing on very low sens tought me how to use my arm or just more of the wrist if ever needed, which made 40cm much easier of course. In just one evening I have improved a ton on 40, going from frustratingly bad aim to consistant and very good aim.

[@joedartonthefenderbass]

I would say 40cm per 360 is probably the most balanced sensitivity for all games. you can move and aim accurately. It's great

I hope you read this, Mr. Ninja. I just wanted to show you my sincere gratitude for this one video in specific. You pushed me to not be afraid of trying high DPI after playing with low DPI all my lif3. I am 32 now and have been playing with low DPI for 20 years! I switched to 1600 DPI and low sens. and the differece was INSTANTLY night and day! I could never ever thank you enough! You truly deserve all the success you are attaining! God bless you!

[@JustNems]

I absolutely loved this video. Great views and excellent knowledge. Thanks a lot for this! :D

[@red_seraphim]

This is fantastic for finding one's comfortable sensitivity range. I used to think i should stick to one sens for every game, last year i started experimenting and found that i could get the same level of overall aiming performance with any sens, each sens offers advantages and disadvantages, being able to comfortably swap is the actual super power

[@CanIGetSumMilk]

i've been playing cs since 1.6 and my sensitivity has changed drastically. I went from 5.2 800dpi to 2.35 1200 dpi and 2000dpi at highest. i'm currently playing csgo with 1.5 400dpi and 1600 switching back and forth from time to time i found i can basically play well on 2 different sens settings. love your videos btw, keep it up :D

I really liked this video a lot. I actually used to be a very low sens player but make the switch to high after playing Quake (going from 51cm per 360 to 28 and now I play better. I have tried higher but then I get all kinds of messed up so I think my 28cm is great. Thank you again.

[@Curocko]

Hey man thanks so much for this video. Thanks to this video I gave a retardedly low sensitivity a shot just to see how it went. It worked out great man! I now use it primarily instead of my old 24cm. It is kind awkward sometimes but I like the upsides (great tracking aim) so much. Once again, thanks for these epic vids. I also found out that I played better when I got out of my comfort zone.

[@anirex911]

Nice video. I used to play UT99 back in 99. i remember playing very high sensi back then. I play play only Paladins these days. But had to reduce sensi by a lot. Guess age makes a difference. Was a big one for me.

[@fyte4luv23]

i was an average railer back in quake2 then a really good player who's always on top of the list after every match told me to keep the sensitivity the i'm used to & simply change the FOV or field of vision in the command console. higher FOV means ur movement will "feel" faster & enhance ur reaction time by a lot. I tried it & a few days later when we played again, he wasn't on the top list anymore.

[@DSSmemberBGhitman]

This is exactly what I have been doing the last 2 months, experimenting with stuff between 11 and 32cm and yes it is quite fun to fuck around like this, also I know about some top players in some fps games playing with extremely slow and fast sens or others constantly change it (most of them from tf2) whenever they feel it odd. BTW have u even considered the possibility of making a video of giving ur toughts and experience with quake games and why u ended up playing QL so much over the other quakes it would be interesting to hear your toughts on CPMA especially

[@cvb8778]

I sort of did this in the past by trying out several Quake pros mouse settings and I ended up playing the best with Toxjq's mouse settings (25cm, .15 yaw/.18 pitch).

[@sarrafkuwait]

best opinion on youtube regarding aim

[@TheJasonmoretti]

i stumbled on this video but i have done exactly what you said on my own and found after trying to get used to a low sens for about the last year and just fucking around with a much higher that i found myself enjoying myself and even playing more accurately on a higher sens..about 8-3/4"..(which i guess isnt really that high) but after seeing video after video ensuring me that using anything lower than 20" or 50cm is bad i went on a very long journey just to find myself kinda back to a higher sens..I think I using about 7-1/2.. either way its good to try really low as well as high.. and find yourself in the middle..

[@robertjoergensen]

I started pc gaming with a SUPER high sens. Most have been like 5-10cm/360. Now years later I think I've finally found the right one for bf4 at least: 40cm/360 (I've tried 20cm, 25cm,30cm,45cm,50cm and 55cm). Seems like a good middle ground to me. With this I have about 24-25% accuracy with assault rifles and on CQB maps I often go to 27-30% accuracy. Although you really don't need to be that accurate in bf :P It's so casual

great share for humanity. Thanks bro!

[@cadcc]

I overthink everything and struggle extremely hard with picking a sensitivity, always changing it and have set myself back so many times for years. I'm trying to commit to this, I've always used quite low sensitivity and I'm going to give a 12cm 360 a shot. I was trying 20cm before and i was terrible with it, but I realize since I'm gonna suck anyways i may aswell go all the way :) Gonna come back to this video every time I'm feeling demoralised for being terrible, I'm used to being decent at most games I play and it sucks to suck. Thank you Zy. I'll update this comment when I complete it. Edit: Still suck, making progress though. Edit2: Really struggling today, i never realized how much being good at games is tied to my state of mind, its really wearing me down but I'll keep going.

Instasub. Of all the videos about sensivity I watched this one seems to be the best. Ill give it a try, since I have lots of troubles finding the right senvitiy with mouse accel off (I used to play with it on for many years and I didn't feel I had trouble landing shots at all!).

[@tonny1351]

Should I leave my DPI the way it is and just adjust in game sensitivity? Thanks for the tips either way!

[@JunypurKeys]

Low sensitivity improved my gaming.

[@djdoubx96000]

Yep, it does to me too :D

[@Anubisrunner08]

+Roy Andersson i use 200dpi

[@djdoubx96000]

Anubisrunner08 Wow, it doesn't feel right to me. A bit jittery. Because it draw less dots. I'd recommend 400DPI to 1600DPI based on your liking. If 200DPI works perfectly fine for you, then okay xD

[@Anubisrunner08]

+Roy Andersson its helped improve my aiming alot... I tried 400 and still wasnt getting anywhere. Creating ample space for my mouse to move around has been a game changer for me :) as where before i was limited to a small mouse pad and thus had to have my original dpi quite high

[@ZdrytchX]

I was considering to reduce my sensitivity as I lack precision but I've go the accuracy. Means I can get the crosshair near the target, just can't hit it. The thing is with my current sens ratio is that a flick will do me a 170 degree turn, and a swipe will do me around 500 to 600 degree turn. Perhaps its more about the way I hold my mouse as I use the bottom of my wrist as a reference point rather than my elbow.

[@ashscott6068]

I started at 9cm/360 in Quake cus I had a small pad. When I got a big one, I started changing it all the time. Now I don't play Quake at all, and only play a little CS now and then, I use 50cm/360. But I change it every week like I did in Quake. Maybe some people benefit from keeping it the same, but I've noticed that if my aim ever goes off, all I have to do is change sensitivity to get it back. I think I just aim better with my eyes. Putting a crosshair where you want it is easy; trying to flick your hand to a position you think will put the crosshair where you want it, based on nothing more than muscle memory, seems like a worse way to do it. When the little cross is on the other guy, press left-click.

[@ricardopaixao6367]

You are not the only one that thinks like that, there is a placebo effect of lowering your sensitivity (more than raising) where you feel like you can hit more shots and play better using it but you will never go past that if you don't stick to the same sensitivity and try and learn it the hard way

[@razattack1337]

A very good video, more people should view this. However I hope you can expand on this with more detail, perhaps I can help, I play games like battlefield mostly.

[@MrZodiac011]

My aim was okay playing with a high sensitivity, but at one point I dropped my sensitivity in-game quite a bit from like I think 30% on Battlefield to 8% I think and dropped my DPI from about 2400 to 800, always using the middle setting for windows sensitivity, I was aiming much better because I could make slight adjustments easily at mid to long range, up close my aim still improved, I learnt to use a wider area of my mousepad, I have a decent sized one and was only using a tiny portion of it

Hey ninja, could you do a video that goes more in-depth on the grips and the variations on each? As in, rather than just showing the standard grips, show a multitude of variations of each and maybe even some more extreme ones? As someone who has overly large hands, I find it interesting seeing what types of grips are possible in trying to adapt to a new mouse. Maybe even use an array of the mice you have to showcase these? And highlight the pros and cons of each grip. Just an idea...

Ppl keeped telling me to change to lower so i did. from whatever i had i went to 16cm 360 which felt super duper slow, and now i changed to around 40cm 360 and DAMN even on first game im SO much more accurate! from degenerate 15/30 got 22/24 first time i tried lowering my "already low" sensitivity! Thank you so much :))) one problem is i got huge hands so i still have to claw grip reddragon mammoth, which is pretty large :((((

[@trapromo]

Cool, you made a video about my concerns ;) hehe . Cool stuff. Only thing i felt like was missing in video was examples of which sensitivitys the pro`s use. Since alot of people try and be as awesome as the pro`s are, by copying them, and this is actually a good starting point. I liked it , good job =D

[@ricardopaixao6367]

Don't try and copy someone else, no matter how much you try its very rare that the sensitivity of the person you look up to is also the best for you. Choose something that you feel like you can play with and then learn from how they play the game and make sure they hit their shots. The secret is not in the sensitivity, its in your ability to use it

[@trapromo]

You copy and then you try up/down like he described in video. When you have absolutely no clue what you are doing, then you need a starting point, a pro setup starting point can then be a good beginning .

[@ricardopaixao6367]

+Thomas R. Aasen / TRAPROD just choose an average sensitivity e.g 20cm/360

[@trapromo]

Many have no clue what the average is. And it will also depend on the game . Reflex a fast game would be about 25, quake/overwatch about 30, and cs is even lower . 35-40? But yes do not directly copy anyone , this is definetly true. Gotta start somewhere, this was my point :p

I'd like to think I've already been through this. When I played Minecraft, I thought higher was better, and ended up pulling 360s with a turn of the wrist. Moved on to CSGO, heard that low was good, stuck with a sensitivity that had me swiping half way across my entire desk for a 360. For the past few months, I've been using a medium sensitivity. Occasionally turn it up a little. Never got good at CSGO.

I think I might buy the logitech g303 but I am worried about the sensor rattle. any suggestions?

[@FlashTheEagle]

funny thing is i always thought i was a high sens player. after 6,omths of playing csgo i found out pros use really low sens. so i slowly but surely i started to reduce my edpi from ~10000 to 1500edpi. worked great my aim is better than before.

[@Phexlar]

I know that feeling. I was always a high dpi/sense player then on csgo I realised I had to lower it.

[@QuanSaiyan]

thats low? (400dpi and 1.6) i played for about a year with 400 dpi and 0.6 -0.7 sens (which is a little over a 180 for me) and now i'm trying high sens (400dpi and 1.25 which is a 360 for me) thats what i feel is low and high XD

[@jackal8858]

800 dpi and 1.6 is perfect for me

[@retardno002]

400 DPI with 2.2 in game (or 2.25 in Quake Champions) is what works best for me, both in CS and Quake. I've heard people recommend a slightly higher sensitivity in QC because it's so different gameplay wise from CS, but I feel this works just fine for me.

[@TTony5891]

I enjoy videos like these because even though they are targeted toward quake players, I can apply these tips to CSGO

[@yeetspageet5679]

I think it may be useful to point out that sensitivity has a lot to do with grip style. Palm and claw is fine for low. However you pretty much need claw or fingertip at higher sensitivities to make those smaller adjustments. Unless you have ridiculous wrist dexterity. Aiming style and grip has a lot to do with sensitivity

[@NullifidianYT]

Thank you.

[@VarvasNukka]

One thing i've found testing various dpis is that at really low sens you use your whole arm to turn and wrist to aim, whereas at really high sens you use your wrist to turn and fingertips to aim. In my opinion, if you're going high sens i recommend going high enough that you dont really need to use your whole arm to turn anymore, works best for me atleast.

[@Nenko_Music]

interesting. i d secondd that

[@ve_rb]

Honestly the best thing to do is to pick a sensitivity and stick to it. Build the muscle memory and you'll be able to do what high sens players can with low sensitivity or what low sensitivity players can with high sensitivity.

[@KARTIKEYA007]

EXACTLY! my sens is 7.5 cm / 360 (at lower resolution screen though) and some may think it's too fast, but I LG 45% easy and railgun is my bread and butter weapon. I have been playing for 4 years so it just "feels" like my muscles know when I have to hold the mouse more tightly(in an LG fight) and when I have to let lose and flick. As is a famous saying at my place.. "Skilled people don't do a lot of different things, they just do what others do but much better"

[@KARTIKEYA007]

Also I don't use accel at all, so maybe my sens is a bit lower than what it feels for other people(almost everyone uses a little accel)

Zy, I am trying a high sensitivity, but it is SO AGGRAVATING that I can't control it!!! Like my mind wants me to aim somewhere but my arm just can't do it! I like this high sensitivity though because it feels really nice for looking around. I feel like I am more aware since I can easily turn anywhere.

Imo you can get used to any sensitivity. One part of me says high sens is better because you can literally move your crosshair faster, the other part of me says use your whole arm with a low sens for the best accuracy.

[@Frankntooth]

My sens is a 220 degree turn with a full swipe on my mousepad.

[@PanzerIV88]

Being a Quake player too since 2000, I always prefered higher-sens which seems to be more rare surprisingly. For example I've checked yesterday and in Unreal Tournament it takes me 4cm for a 360 degree with my (Mionix Castor) at 5000DPI which is the highest native res of the 3310 sensor, so my mousepad have always been overkill but they're all made too big these days. Currently use the rought surface which is better for high-sens, of my (Corsair MM600). I'd say that there's just with the Railgun/Sniper that I've never been that good but I own with all other weapons and have super quick reflex with such sens.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

You should upload a video of you playing with that sens, preferably in Quake so I can really see how well you're aiming.

[@jonnyX06]

4cm/360??? I wouldn't mind seeing a video of that too, I used to play BF4 at 75cm/360 so to me that sounds really extreme.

I've been playing for a couple of years and don't seem to improve on accuracy with LG and rail. I've prioritized movement and rockets.

I've been playing CA all the time, but I would want to get into duel a little. From what I've seen some duelers seems to have fov 100 or even 90?!

(i know this comment is slightly late but...) i once was finding it hard to hit shots, and on closer inspection i found i almost always overshot. i had recently changed my sense slightly because turning didnt feel right, but now my aim was off. i decided that i would play on a much higher sens to sort of reset my muscle memory and teach me to be more precise, then later i would switch back and re-develop my muscle memory on this sense (btw the sense im on about was really comfortable, but my mm was messing me up sometimes). i found it worked really well! just thought i needed to get that out there.

I know I've asked these 2 before probably, but I know others will ask as well: 1: *On what CM/360 did you end up?* I'm personally still switching between around 43cm/360 (about 800dpi, 1.2 sensitivity in CSGO or 800 & 4 in Overwatch for those who play) and 33cm/360 (only the first in CSGO though because the latter would be 800 dpi 1.5 sensitivity in csgo and 800 & 5 in Overwatch, the other also for Unreal/OW) 2: *Do you try and adjust your other shooters (DOOM for instance or OW) to come close to the same FoV & Sensitivity you use in QL?* I find that this gives a nice level of consistency despite having different ''feels'' to each title of course.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

1. I change between 28 and 30 cm / 360 depending on how I'm feeling on the day and the mode I'm playing. 2. I'm not as reliant on aim in other games so I couldn't tell you what I use in them without loading them up and checking. Just "yeah about that" is fine for me, I'll adjust.

[@KindOldRaven]

Rocket Jump Ninja Good stuff! Would've guessed something around 30cm/360 watching your mousecam combined with the Quake footage ;D Thanks Zy!

[@viego29]

The thing is, with sniper especially with csgo I’m better with low sens but I’d like a bit of a faster sens

[@firatkara2300]

im still using a laptop mouse so i always keep it low cuz its so light on hand

[@EnragedMollusk]

Out of curiosity, what sensitivity/dpi do you use in Overwatch?

[@marcelbromm2625]

took me a loooong time to find my perfect sens. now I'm stuck at 960dpi (800dpi*1.2)on a QcK+ and I dont wanna change anymore :D finally I got my muscle memory on a sensitivity back lol

[@trapromo]

but .. artisan sidenkai mousepad is amaziiing .... i think u should try this ...and .. mwahaha bring you back in to sensitivity hell ;) hehe . Glad you found your sens , it can actually take ages to do it ! =p

[@kame942]

I've heard that the perfect sensitivity is when you drag your mouse on your mouse pad from one side to another and that equals 360 degree turn in-game.

[@DavidDrury90]

But what happens when you have a 42" mouse pad? :) heheh.

[@Marleyismydog420]

its a good starting point but thats it. the perfect sens depends on your arm and hands and what game you are playing and maybe even the way you hold the mouse. best way to find it is to experiment like he says in the video

[@trapromo]

With the many different mousemat sizes out there, that would not make much sense. Measure out how many cm it takes for 1 rotation in game to know your own sensitivity (how you set to same sensitivity to many different fps games) . Find what you yourself are comfortable with and buy a mousemat that is either large enough for you and your mouse movement, or just get a huge one, because extra space always feels good =p

[@Lu-ql]

To me 35cm/360 is just perfect and for any game on that matter. It's not too high for CS, but not too low for Quake and other shooters, even single player ones. With that said, I can only play well with small mice.

[@dRn206]

What about DPI? How do you pick one. Any tips?

[@GreatMCGamer]

I use 40cm for normal and 80 for zoom in xD Before that I had 60cm and 120. But I kept having problems of not being able to flick up or down anymore. Tho I've been thinking of moving to 30cm and 60cm... as it takes me 230ms to do a flick 360 so i see it as "objectively speed limited by mouse speed". But I guess I should try 20cm.... I really don't wanna go to 12cm... thats so ridiculously fast... I was hoping to get a objective way of finding the right mouse speed from here, like there was a objective way of finding the right mouse size/shape.

[@GreatMCGamer]

I have used fast speeds before... Like 12cm ish. Can't realy remember where I started... Every time I acquired more mouse space, I slowed my mouse speed, as I saw slow speed as objectively more accurate.

[@gamesftw1551]

I want a Zowie mouse, but they are very expensive here, i would it is being sold for $145 o.O" For a finger tip player what other options do i have? I'm looking for a mouse as good as Zowie FK2... and no spin-out :) please. Continue the great work!

[@kaizerevo]

Just curious but did you train with mouse accel as well?

[@krille1e]

Woud love to see u review the Ducky secret mouse the reviews that is out there are less then informing to say the least.

[@RocketJumpNinja]

Waiting on the Ducky Secret M and hoping they've reduced the weight with the size.

[@krille1e]

yeah at 120grams+ it´s way to heavy, had no ide they already where working on a revision that´s great news to me! kinda wish myself for a + model sence i have yeti hands Za11/ec1 is still kinda small to me :D Keep upp the good work , u do really good work and u are very detailed in ur reviews!

[@JapesZX]

Holy crap, I didn't even know there were plans on releasing an M version. Here's to hoping it'll be light. >.

[@adammyapple2870]

Zy you should try the ducky secret mouse. It has the 3310 sensor and omron switches

[@ronaldhong15]

what kind of crosshair do you like the most
