Should I lower my sensitivity for sniper?

[Silence]

I'm currently a 100 hour edgy scout main and I've been wanting to main sniper for some time now. I've been using the same sensitivity since I've started tf2 and it's great and all but It makes it really hard to make "minor" adjustments to my aim whenever I'm tracking/about to flick on to someone. I also see alot of other sniper mains tend to use extremely low sensitvity.

[how it chews to feel 5 gum]

Yes

Yea, lower sens is good for sniper.

It's mainly due to that you could have a jittery aim when scoping in if you have a high sens. Lower sens prevents this as your can smooth your turning when scoped in.

If you want to be able to turn quickly though, I'd suggest getting a wider and higher mouse pad for more space.

No, please don't become a Sniper main, you would be harder to kill.

I have a gaming mouse, with a nifty little feature I thought was rather silly when I got it... boy was I wrong:

It has two buttons under the scroll wheel, that allow me to adjust mouse sensitivity on the fly.
I've been meaning to adjust level 2/3 (it has four) for main play, leaving max for quick looking and such.
Having the ability to drop my look speed to "Sniper zoom levels" and back to normal view is a little jaring... until you get used to it. Now I can make accurate shots and still be able to melee fight and hit shots unscoped even against wide-strafing targets.

That sounds amazing. Thanks for the tip, might consider buying one if I have the money. What is the mouse called? Cost, etc

Yes, but be a Scout main.

Sniper is for edgy kids, and you aren't one.

(Sniper v Sniper. Ugh...)

no need to buy one specifically for dpi switching, only to replace a crummy normal mouse with a crappy sensor
keybinds ingame are enough to change sensitivity as needed, but you shouldn't be doing that anyways

if your sensitivity is low enough that you're running out of mouse space, get a bigger mousepad
zoom_sensitivity_ratio if you need lower sens while scoped

Why would you choose to play such idiotic meta-game? Stick to having actual fun playing the game.
