does low sensitivity make you play better?

smogity

ive seen that alot of pros use really low sensitivity like 4, in the long run does it help you?

Alphasniper0

well lets put it lthis way its great for snipig but you want an high sens for rifle using

smogity

ok thanks

Using a lower sens give you more control, its as simple as that.

i use 1 and for scope 15-20.

4 is pretty bad.. No way to turn around I don't know.. It just may be me..

I play 85-100

I mainly snipe, but it works for mid-long rifling too.

Yep, but i have a large mousemat so doing a 180 is about 8 inches either way. it may sound excessive but its really not.

Saying that it also depends on your mouse settings. iv got mine at 1600 dpi lolz

You cant really con pair peoples sensitivity. Even though Yes low sensitivity gives you more control everyone has a different mouse so my 4 sensitivity could be your 85 get what I'm saying?

well i play with 5///5 so i have learned just to be good with that

There is way more than just in game sensitivity.


Go look at my thread on mouse setups.

ComeClarityy

50///50 for me

CoruptionlSl

scope sens-8

normal sens-10

when pistol 7

Depends on your mouses DPI. Most regular mice have 800 DPI and 50 in game sens is fine with the default windows mice settings.

Its about control...

While I have no clue who you are talking about when you say "pros" I am going to take a guess here and say those "pros" don't play with regular mice. They most likely will be using a gaming grade mouse, in other words a mouse that runs at least 500 hz with 1000-2000 dpi (however some may prefer lower dpi but meh).

Now, how does this relate to your question? If you played with 2000 dpi on 20 sensitivity it would be very difficult to control. Having a higher dpi while a lower sensitivity means your movement will be closer to pixel perfect. For this reason, many players prefer to play with all forms of mouse accel turned off.

More or less, if you don't have a high dpi mouse don't bother using a low sensitivity. In general as a rule of thumb you should be able to turn 180 degrees, after that its about personal preference. Playing with a higher dpi will allow you to flick to targets faster, however a lower dpi tends to make it easier to aim accurately (increase stability).

I used to be a very high sens player until one day a guy that was just wrecking face in CS told me, "Yo your sensitivity is way too high."

So I turned it down and I played awful, it was tough to adjust. I went from just playing with my wrist to actually swiping my arm at times to make fast turns.

However, after I adjusted, my gameplay improved a lot. I was making shots I never could before, and I sprayed a lot less.

i think of it like this....

low senceitivity = better aim + harder 180 reaction time

high senceitivity = better reaction + harder to make a smooth aim

thats jsut my oppinion tho, i prefer high senceitivity cause i think its best for quick sniping.

LadyShy

This is all new to me =/ Lol

smogity

lol thanks for the help guys

Japansoldme

I keep mine on about 50 for everything

MahowzeH

My mouse got 800 dpi // windows sense: max // ingame: 95 sens

-> i use it for both snipin and long/mid/short range fighting with any gun.

I do use a laptop so... my mouse is a wireless laptop mouse

when i used my scar light i used 19 sensitivity with no problems

I would say that it does and I would highly suggest trying it out for a couple weeks. It really adds to how well you can control your aim, and also helps with making precise movements. For long range shots using only your wrist, you will notice that finer adjustments to your aim can be made. You just have to learn to also use your arm more and swipe across a larger area quickly to make bigger turns (it really helps to have like a foot of space on your desk for this). Just experiment with lower sensitivities and find something that allows you to make precise shots, but something that you still can control. Take a look at Bruce's thread for ideas.

i have tryed different mouses and logitech and dell seem to be faster than microsoft and others so my dell mouse works just fine at lower sensitivities

Honeslty. Imo. Most players use lower sensitivity b/c it is easier to headshot? thats what i hear from most players. i do that too. and it also depends on what mouse you have. dont flame on me.. lol just my opinion. :P

RadiantFire

you really can't compare the in-game sensitivity since every mouse has different dpi in their actual mouse

my mouse(Razer Mamba) can go up to 5600 dpi. which is the dpi I use with my in-game sensitivity of 0

it's still pretty good for me for my rifles

Simply put, this is VERY much a "Depends on your gamestyle" kind of thing. You won't know if it helps you until you try it yourself.
