Was recently told people play this game on like 800 dps
I play at 5500 dps and full sensitivity only lowering it for down scope sniping. How do yall play with that low

But yeah, most pros actually play on 400 dpi. But this thing "low is better" or "high is better" doesn;t exist. You decide what's better for yourself. I do like moving my whole arm across the desk so i like low sens. I must say, I never ever played a game at 5500 dpi and max ingame sens tho. That sht sounds alien to me. But you do you, man. Enjoy the game your way.

On a completely unrelated note, is anyone like super stoked for Dune?

lower DPI = Easier to fine tune in game sens. on a super high DPI even a .1 change in game sens feels like a bigger jump than on a lower DPI.

I play at 600 dpi and 1.4 sense. I tried 800 but felt it was too high. Tried 400, but this was way too low for me. 600 was the sweet spot. I can fast 180 well like this, yet keep my aim steady when tracking.

Okay, so I just checked my in game sens and Im resting at 8.4 with 5500 dpi. The full arm movement for my mouse just seems to be a disadvantage for me, or maybe just awkward.

800 dpi with 2.2 sen

You can try use trainer such as aim lab to adjust it.

Hit the firing range in Apex and play with both settings to see what feels better for you.
There is no "end all" perfect setting. Totally based on how you move physically. Then once you get a good vibe with both DPI and sense, never change it again.
Let the muscle memory build up on your established settings. In time, if you put in the effort, you will be razor sharp.

But if you keep changing the dpi and sense over time, it will feel like you're never getting better with your movements or aim. So keep it steady once you've found something that feels good. :]

i swap between 400 - 800 dpi just depends if my arm gets tired or not. I start off at 400 and increase the longer I game

I play at 400 DPI with 1.7 sensitivity which is probably a lot lower than others. I have a pretty decent sized mousepad and a full swipe from left to right is a little over a 180 degree turn.

I do move my arms a lot when I play video games but I usually do pretty well and have not used a higher sensitivity in FPS games in a long, long time.

I see, thank you for your input!

play with whatever sensitivity you're comfortable with. i used to play at 16 sensitivity 800 dpi on counterstrike years ago (v1.6), which is hella high. wrist users can still pull off the same aim, if not better, than arm because you don't need as much space to do a 360 degree turn, plus you don't have to pick up your mouse as often to keep it centered on the pad.
