I noticed you did NOT ADS for this test. Would it be the same when ADSing?

[@MrStahldaniel]

Also, how does this work for a 3rd person shooter like Fortnite???

Arm aimer NiKo type: low sens. Wrist aimer woxic type: High sens. Both arm and wrist aimer: Medium sens.

[@BoySnOiZe96]

Just wanted to let you know how important your channel is to us aim and mouse nerds. Love all your videos and the way you share different perspectives and approaches to aiming, without overglorifying one specific way. You never miss tbh. :)

[@ronrambokim]

Thank you! :)

[@veirnon3822]

Rambo, I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and it’s good to see some new vids from you. The way you explained this helped me so much! You sir are one of the greats in the aim community.

[@ronrambokim]

Thank you for your kind words :)

[@Chriszyxl]

@@ronrambokim hey i have a question, is there a method of finding the right sensitivity in parkour games?

[@dark_familiarity]

i use high sens in windows like 1200-2000 so my hand can rest while I'm not playing. Sensitivity is important, but you should also consider your hand health, many pro players need wrist and shoulder surgery because they don't really think and just want results, very low sens can provide better control but can be bad for you long term, I mean if your goal is to be one the best you need to be able to play without pain. For all these reasons I always gravitated towards higher sensitivity. It's not really a thing you notice when you're 16, but when you are 25 you start to notice the strain low sens can cause over time. Some exercises and generally not playing for 5-8 hours straight can prevent that completely though.

[@jermu8706]

you are aware that most people with issues like RSI and capral tunnel are high sens wrist aimers, right? seriously, if you want to avoid that then low sens is better. might be straining on forearm's muscles but your wrist is what will cause serious problems

[@eeli8327]

very nice video, improved my aim! Thanks so much!!:3

[@judd5662]

the PSA method has been the perfect way for me to find a sens in any game, i highly recommend it

[@aurisz_cs]

what if you can do the first part (the bot tracking) with whatever sens smoothly?

[@RetrainUrBrain]

Great video, thank you for your help :)

[@stephanspiller9877]

The legend whit another banger

[@Destractoid]

Regarding what you said about mouse grip at the beginning, another option is to use raw accel. NOT for acceleration, but to change the rotation axis of your mouse to better accommodate a natural mouse grip.

[@ragimur9417]

MAN U SO GOOD THANK U,before million videos i find my sense watching yours,good luck bruh

[@ronrambokim]

Nice!

[@DifficultFryingPan]

Would you argue that it's possible to have too low a sensitivity? Currently I play at 103CM/360 and I seem to perform best around this area in Aim trainers as well. Recently began attempting the Voltaic benchmarks and almost immediately hit Masters and am attempting to move to GM. I ask as I don't really see anyone else playing at these sensitivities.

[@xannypaints]

If you're comfortable and are not at risk of injury any sensitivity is fine imo. Of course there's a recommended range that works best for most people, depending on the game, but if you're already comfortable with 103 cm / 360 then why change? Do you think it's holding you back? Have you tried other sensitivities? Do you want to change? The only tip I can really give is that you should try to be a well-rounded player. In other words, try to have every category in the VT benchmarks be roughly on the same level. If you think your sensitivity is holding you back from being more well-rounded, then it might be worth looking into changing it up.

[@ronrambokim]

Yes, definitely possible to have too low a sensitivity, but can make up for it with proper arm movement. Your choice of sensitivity depends on your game of choice, playstyle, and body limitations. For example, aggressive entry players need higher sensitivity, while far range lurkers generally prefer lower sensitivity.

[@LucasJodokast]

I was using 80cm/360 for awhile which gave me godlike long range aim but would struggle with close encounters, I ended up down to 20cm/360 but have since worked back up to 40cm/360 after increasing my mousepad size & learning to aim with my full arm, currently thinking I could go back to 80cm eventually, I love this stuff 😅 But I don't think there is such a thing as too slow, as everyone has different natural movement limitations

[@kennaee]

For aim, yeah the lower the better (to an extent) but at least in CS movement is very important and with such low sens I find it very hard to keep moving smoothly since it's quite a bit of extra work. I went up to 0.85 / 800dpi and it feels nice to me. At first it felt very high but the added speed you gain from going bit higher feels very good.

[@Alex-------]

If you tracked your stats you'll see you get no benefit for that low. No one has poor enough motor skills. They'll be bad now so you'll need to train mouse control

[@Yoshi92]

[@MichalKruszyniak]

how MOUSE dpi is corelating with sensitivity

[@DeusKite]

great video and interesting to see your improvements in cutting. i'd like to add: - the senses seen here like for s1mple and others are all in combination with 400dpi - there is a way to fix the angle from diagonal mouseholding with softwares, but this is not recommended, since you rely on it i personally cramped seeing those really hard wrist bends tho, cause i got RSI multiple times :D

[@ronrambokim]

there is software available, but im not sure anything of recent. i actually used this feature back in early 2000's with an old microsoft mouse, so i know its out there

[@WisdomPowerCourage]

You can use raw accel to do this (change the virtual angle of your sensor). Very helpful to keep your best grip and still have a straight pivot@@ronrambokim

[@dark_sunset]

@@ronrambokimalso the sensor angle of the Deathadder V3 is angled way differently than the G502 / GPX / G303SE so aiming is very difficult for me with the Deathadder v3. I saw a Valorant pro on reddit with the same issue.

[@csilestinehunt1229]

i dont think what we should take mouse with different angle if it not tracking horizontaly. We should change mouse. I have zowie ec1,ec2,ec3. all tracking with same angle when i hold it comfortable. loghitech g305 is tracking with perfect horizont. Razer orochi v2 almost perfect.

[@BongsAway90]

Something overlooked about sensitivity is recoil control. The higher the sensitivity the easier to control recoil . I play EFT and the recoil is kind of wild. I change my dpi to lower when sniping

[@EZEQUIEL2007.]

And why low sens is not better for recoil control?

[@BongsAway90]

@ when the sensitivity is lower you have to move your mouse more to get the same control. High sensitivity = move mouse less to control recoil

[@EZEQUIEL2007.]

@@BongsAway90 It makes sense, I play burst and taps so I didn't realize, for my way of shooting I always find it better to use low sens and 400dpi, it's like aimlock.

[@404ErrorFatal]

1600dpi 0.17 1080p is good edpi ? In valorant

[@ronrambokim]

I'd have to see your screen to know if you are controlling your settings properly. Any setting, and dpi can work if you have good wrist and arm movement

[@sybreedsTV]

I play yoru on 1600dpi .15 // played between .11 and .15 to find a sweet spot on a Logitech G640 cloth pad, I am a forearm aimer, use wrist a little to micro adjust, palm grip. Using obsidian skates on a gpro wireless. .17 can work, depends on how much space you have and wrist vs forearm. for me .17 is “too jittery” // a 180 degree turn/flick I will struggle to micro adjust on heads and also track range bots with “A” or “D” key - GLHF

[@Jikuro_]

Great video, the only problem is that when you find your sensitivity for aiming on people infront of you like you showed, which for most people should be quite low, it tends to be way too slow to turn around if you get shot from behind or your side. My sens turned out being 1.79 and its great for stable aim but, when i have to check angles for example, i have to move my whole arm back and forth over my entire mousepad like a maniac which in turn ruins the stable aim. I assume there must be a way to find a middle ground, i just dont se how, its insanely hard to find a sweet spot way above your low sens sweet spot when it comes to stable aim.

[@helperlee5861]

Use an Extra Button on youre Mouse that Changes dpi when Holding to Higher and learn to use it in those situations to flick

[@zaneatat]

I just tund t until i could do 180 consistently, then i can predict the movement exactly For some games its 360

[@wh1tey]

Hey Rambo, i like your recommendations on how to pick a sensitivity that "feels" right. Iam wristaimer with clawgrip because i have very long fingers. I play cs2 at 1600 dpi and ingame sens of 0.925 at the moment, i really struggle at horizontal tracking while i use strafing. it feels like its always to slow. but for microcorrections its way to fast. what should i do in your opinion?

[@Zystics]

1600x0.925 sounds pretty high, you’re sure that you’re fine with it? What is exactly you’re issue with tracking? It should be smooth, did you try another sens that are smoother? If you’re new it’s normal that both things doesn’t feel perfect. Just pick something smooth and practice your (micro)flicks

[@ronrambokim]

I'll make a video about this

[@Soabac]

its so hard to find the PERFECT sensitivity, like mine feels pretty alright to me and i feel like with 1.19 i have the most control of my aim, but when just playing and not actively aiming it feels really slow, like what if someone unexpectedly comes from my sides or behind ? in those cases it feels like i wouldn't be able to flick in time and then adjust

[@tehjamerz]

I found my ideal sens though desire, discipline, and dedication

[@hc8655]

in overwatch there are not pratice range like cs so how do i apply this method to find sensitivity ?

[@ronrambokim]

there is a practice range, use the bots

[@peterryan826]

you didnt talk about dpi of mouse and raw input and acceleration function. thanks for this helpful video but can you also tell about these parameters?

[@user-ty6we2sp2m]

They're don't do anything dpi is not applicable here you will use cm/360 it applies to all games

[@WisdomPowerCourage]

Wont this be misleading in terms of what sens is best for you against moving targets? A sens might be good in wrist range on stationary targets, but in many cases you will end up moving your whole arm against moving targets, because of longer distance to cover. Especially in games like Overwatch, Fortnite, Quake etc.

[@MrZazi8]

Are you a wrist or arm aimer , because here im a bit confused . when do you put your whole arm into the aiming .

[@vanfl9911]

180° turns or bigger flicks. Arm aiming is big motions with arm micro/small flicks with wrist. Just watch any siege pro that plays low sens they demonstrate it well

[@Space4Cats]

The way you sit matters only using your wrist will definitely limit u dont rest your arm anywhere and dont fully palm your mouse to be comfortable

[@tanjirokamado1489]

Question, what if the sensitivity feels good when shooting, but to quickly 180/360 it's too low? What should i do?

[@ronrambokim]

Learn to use your forearm to make the 180, then re-enter, or use 2 fast wrist flicks

[@Denkru-lz5im]

[@Jhowx11]

hey bro, I play R6s, I'm having trouble finding a good sensitivity. What would be the best way for this specific game? R6 Siege has free movement sensitivity (V/H) and ADS sensitivity (aim 1x, 2.5x, 3x...).

[@tyrantpotato5831]

there is no "right" sens for anyone, high sens (20-30cm 360) trains completely different muscles to low sens, and whichever you played more will define which is more comfortable. if you want to really get good, you need to train both your aim and wrist anf that requires understanding how to view sens as a tool, tac fps like val? low sens 50-70cm is best. for a movement shooter like apex with heavy tracking you need a fast sens between 20-40cm. to get actually good my dude you need to train all the different muscles that get used in high sens and extremely low sens. once you can adapt to any sens you will start to find a middle ground that works for each game you play. it takes time, dont be affraid to change your sens, muscle memory is a myth, mouse control (teaching different muscle groups) is king.

[@vanfl9911]

Keep your vert and horizontal sens the same but make sure you can comfortably do a 180° turn (hip sens wise) and for ads make sure you can track targets and also do flicks at a comfortable speed so if you need to do big flicks you'll most likely be using a lot of your arm or wrist (depending on your aim style that being a wrist or arm aimer) but you'll need to "reset" your mouse just after so you can go back to the comfy part of your pad afterwards

[@matemich01]

not showing your dpi is a bit odd

[@turbobore9849]

Thanks for the great video, Ron - would it be possible to hear your thoughts, and methods, on matching general sens with ADS sens for games like Valorant & Pubg where ARs are used in ADS more frequently?

[@AdammVAL]

Valorant DO NOT use ADS frequently.

[@ronrambokim]

I'd recommend the same process. Its very common for players to use a lower ADS sensitivity since most the action happens in a micro-area.

[@turbobore9849]

Hi, I agree it's not used frequently in Valorant. My wording "more frequently" probably would've been clearer if I'd use CS as an example (of a game with comparatively less ADS'ing) @@AdammVAL

I feel like I can do these tests with wildly different sensitivities, so it seems a bit pointless. The only reason I prefer running a lower sens is so that under pressure where I might be more jittery, it's less pronounced on lower sens.

what should i do when i arm aim and not using my wrist

[@vanfl9911]

Start implementing your wrist a little bit. Or use kovakks/aimlabs and practice micro shots. I can't remember the exact name of the scenario but it's a bunch of very small dots together and use your arm sens for the scenario but practice using that wrist and then implement it in game. It's about building your motor skills into your gameplay. Trust me it took me like 3 months of video searching to find out how to get better micro adjusting when in reality you gotta use that wrist a little bit in games

[@doydiyditx1445]

it won't matter what you start with , for all you care you can start with the default that game has or the one you are using now because if you follow the steps you will change it anyways . Starting sensitivity is the least important thing here so don't worry . Focus on the ways he says you can tell if it's fast or slow like jitter

[@ronrambokim]

Start with too low of sensitivity and slow raise by .1 until it feels a little too fast, then you know you're around your best sensitivity

increase the sensitivity, then do a full wrist movement without lifting the mouse and wrist, then keep lowering the sensitivity until you barely manage the 180 degrees without lifting the mouse/wrist, then just practice hours.... and thats how you find your mouse sensitivity in 60 seconds, as an extra tip if you want better aim make sure your mouse skates and mouse pad allow for a buttery smooth mouse movement lowering the friccion as low as you can... with these simple tips your aim will increase a lot..
