Mouse sensitivity WAY too high, fix?
Hello everyone,

My mouse sensitivity, even configured at 0 in game (both mouse and camera setting), is way too high for me.
I placed my mouse DPI as low as technically possible.
Everytime I look around, I make a 180° spin.

I looked seemingly everywhere for a fix (google, nexus, youtube, multiple forums), but couldn't find any.
Lowering Windows' mouse sensitivity has no effect in game.

Has someone any fix for this?

Thanks for your time and have a great day. :)


PS : I don't own a controller (nor any console) and don't enjoy playing with one, so it's not something I'd consider for a fix. ;)

I've had this problem since the game launched on day 1 til now. The devs dont give two ♥♥♥♥♥ about PC players, most japonase gaming companies do ♥♥♥♥ PC ports just to cash in. The most recent patch, just changed the name of pestilent mercury to pestilent mist LOLOL. Instead of addressing this mouse sens issue, they went ahead and released a patch that does nothing to improve the game just to pretend they did something.

git a controller scrub.
Just reduce your mouse' sensitivity with windows settings.

How low is that?
I keep my at 600 and it feels fine with default in-game settings.

As low as Windows + my mouse integrated configuration allowed me to.
It didn't affect the game, at all.
Still too high for me, by a long shot.

Donno then, I'm not sure if Windows configuration affects that at all, it is likely only for the system itself not for applications that have their own settings.

What you are looking for is hardware settings of the mouse itself, gaming mouses should come with soft that you can download to change those settings.

The mouse you are using may have a button on it that changes its own speed, mine is just in the middle behind the mouse wheel, however this could be located on the bottom or side of your mouse, try pressing it in game a few times and see if the sensitivity changes... you'll probably have to change your speed in windows settings to make it feel normal for everything other than DS3, but after this, you'll never have to change it again.

Thanks for your answer.
I indeed have speed buttons on my mouse, but they are already set to the minimum sensibility.
Changing Windows' sensibility doesn't seem to affect the game's sensibility (on Windows 10 at least).
Have a nice day. :)

That's a shame bro, it literally just worked for me. I hope you find a solution soon.

you could consider playing only with your keyboard... it's not bad at all
