What mouse sensitivity do you all use?

[Dr. Professor Commander]

Just curious, how fast are everyone's reflexes? I'm using a Logitech G703 with a custom DPI setting of 3150, and in-game both my horizontal and vertical sensitivity set to 64 with a scaling ratio of 4.0. One quick swoop from one side of the mouse pad to the other and I do a full 360 spin 7 or more times, and if I have too much caffeine you can see the mouse jittering with me lol...

I like having it super high because you can flame belch in an insanely wide arc and light everything around you up when you're surrounded.

Generally what's most comfortable for me. Not too low to the point of not having enough space for a 180 turn and now too high to the point where my aim is uncontrollable.
A good rule of thumb is that you can comfortably do a 180 turn with a single flick.

Mouse sensitivity that is too high is the biggest mistake FPS players can make, IMO. The rule of thumb in action FPS games is to set the mouse sensitivity as low as you can manage. It will depend on how much mousepad space you have, your monitor resolution, your mouse, etc. The lower your DPI, the less little wiggles in your arm/hand, or imperfections in the sensor, will throw off your aim. I use 800 DPI but you could even go as low as 400 DPI. As for the sensitivity in Doom Eternal (and any other action FPS) I set it so that I can complete just a bit over one 360 degree rotation by moving my mouse from one side of my usable mouse area to the other.

A lot of people set their sensitivity way too high and they end up losing all of their precision, thinking that it will help twitch aiming. I used to do it, too. But what you gain in "speed" you lose in accuracy, and if your shots don't hit their target, then having a lot of movement speed in your mousing is pointless.

It takes a bit of time to adjust but once you do your aim will get many times better. Set every game you play to the same settings by testing your left-to-right mouse movement (as games will have slight variations in how they calculate the sensitivity settings).

Other things to pay attention to:

- Use raw mouse input in game whenever you have the option. Turn off acceleration and mouse smoothing if available.
- Search "Mouse Properties" in the Windows search bar and select the control panel app of that name that appears. On the "Pointer options" tab make sure that "Enhance pointer precision" is turned off -- this is a mouse acceleration setting that causes your cursor to move at a greater speed the faster you move your mouse. Obviously this makes aiming in FPS games really unpredictable.
- If you have a gsync or gsync compatible/freesync monitor, make sure it's turned on in both the GPU driver app and in your monitor's hardware settings. Next, limit the frame rate of the game in the GPU driver panel to 3-4 FPS below your monitor's refresh rate (so, 140 fps on a 144hz monitor) and turn ON vsync in your game options. This will give you the lowest latency between your mouse inputs and what you see on the screen.

Yea I prefer my sens low for sure. Anything more than 180 degrees to the left is less than that to the right.

Like 1% of pro players in any shooter are playing on "high" sensitivity. And usually their high sens is like 1/5 of yours. So i don't know if you're trying to flex with this post but clearly your aim must be complete and utter ass.

My in game sens is 22 with 3 scaling and 400 DPI. In FPS world that is considered
low to medium. If you want to actually start hitting things i'd recommend to lower your sensitivity way down.

I moved the mouse to the left and right and tried to slide easily.After reaching the limit of easy sliding, it was exactly 180° on the screen.
The up and down angle is less likely to be used, so I will slightly make the mouse speed slower than the left and right movement by about 1/3.

Because the speed is very fast, the eyes will not be able to keep up, so I will try my best to open the FOV to the maximum 120°

I'm not using pro shooter settings though, I'm using pro-CTF settings because I played a game called Fortress Forever (Free remake of the original TFC, and the original original Quake TF here on Steam. Basically a non-cartoony TF2 with grenades and faster pace.) There's this thing called conc-jumping you should look up, or maybe go watch some scrim matches on youtube. People were speeding around like in DOOM Eternal 14 years before it even came out. My aim isn't trash either because I use my skill as a musician with nearly perfect timing (I shred on guitar, and I am flexing there). I have very fine-tuned motor skills. If only 1% use it, I guess I'm a part of that 1% then.

And on the days that I take my Adderall, I can't even use anything below 70 sensitivity because it's just TOO slow, and actually does mess my aim up. (This might be a better explanation for WHY I'm able to use such high sensitivity.)
