I can't decide between "muscle memory is a meme" and "the perfect sensitivity for me exists and i should train on it" good to see everyone else is equally confused about it too

One thing that I think is seriously overlooked when it comes to aiming sensitivity in games is the movement speed of you character. When i'm rounding a corner in CS:GO and Apex Legends and pre aim because i know what will be there, it will feel vastly different because the characters in the games move different.

it all depends on the range and situation, this is why many overthink this if a target is closer your sens will feel slower, if a target is farther your sens will feel faster it's all about setting something that works for your playstyle, if you like pushing and getting in the face of your enemy use something faster and set this sens in that range, if you're not comfortable pushing just set your sens to something slower and set it for that range, now you can find the middle ground/hybrid or you can be powerful in one range and a bit worse in the other it's all about leaving it and playing a lot, this will give you good mouse control, once you get used to it

there are many factors too such as mouse grip, hand and finger size/length, and mouse shape/size. I use a small mouse with a fingertip grip and have done numerous tests and only gotten comfortable with a higher sens than average. I did have a lower sens era, but I never got to utilize the strength of the fingertip grip as I always had to microadjust with my arm rather than fingers/wrist. I would argue that the more contact points you have to the mouse, the more beneficial lower sensitivity would be. Preference wins overall though, everyone's different.

I can't stop watching these 2 seconds over and over again 0:05 help

So glad to see u talking about the "Perfect Aim" topic, it's by far the most misleading topic at YT and it's been that way for as long as I can remember. And, like always mate, you nailed it. It's so clear that the methods you mentioned are the best & the fastest route to reach the end sens. You just made me really wish to have seen this video around 8 years ago, it would have saved me so much time. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't test the methods you've mentioned, I'm honestly curious to do so right now. Keep it up mate, I & so many others will always be looking forward to learn more from you. Best wishes mate.

The goaaaaaat

I'll over aim and under aim on the same sensitivity and then idk wether to turn it up or down. I think over the years my aim has gotten much better as I've never been an aim player in games but it's still miles away from what I'd like it to be.

I watched 10 seconds, realised this was for people that only play esports games, I turned my sens to 400 dpi and I suddenly destroyed a casual tf2 lobby, thank you tryhard gaming.

Does the length of my forearm also affect what my potential sense would be? For example, if you are flicking in one direction, and pivot at the elbow say 20 degrees, someone with a longer fore-arm would have the mouse move a greater total distance than someone with a smaller forearm. Have you ever thought about this?

So, one thing I know is lower sensitivity usually affords you the ability to be more accurate long-range, but at close range it's just so tiring to move my mouse so much, which is what caused me to move to a higher sensitivity. Just tired of moving my hand and arm and stuff so much

I just love how the editing gets better with each video! Seeing the information with such easy visuals helps so much(like 5:45 for example)

havent watched video yet but ur a beutiful man

How I determine my mouse sens is to move my hand from straight forward using only my wrist to turn for a full 180 so I can flick left or right fully with one wrist movement as I don't move my arm much when aiming. Use 2k dpi currently with a 14.7 cm/360

First of all, great explanation as always! Im wondering, what sensitivity I should use in aim trainers, if I adjust it for each game anyways?

This never works for me , I cant find a sensitivity because either too low or too high feels good , the problem after becomes the zoom sens for games. IDK if I use 0%,75,100% mdh , 100%mdv or what , I cant play if a lot of them and never got to a conclusion on what is best.

Killing people is extremely difficult for someone who gets 12 fps in all games.

I wish I found this video before putting alot of hours on trying to find a sens using aimlabs and oblivity

It's about the grip of holding the mouse to be fair... As a claw grip player it's not as easy as with a palm grip...

im actually so surprised this worked i went from 3.30 sens in apex to 2.9 and my aim was insane. i was hitting flicks which i wasn't really able to do before and my recoil improved sooooo much my only guess is i was trying to correct for the recoil and somehow ended up making it worse lol. thank you so much for the vid cant believe I've played apex for 250 hours and my sens was holding me back so much lol :3

something that still surprises me here and there is the fact that there’s a decent amount of people out there that don’t know what dpi is

I appreciate the commitment of running kovaks in the background for 1,000 hours for this video. You earned this like.

This really helped me alot i always thought i was a high sens player but when he told to reduce it by 2 times that workedfor me i now play on 800dpi and 0.18 in valo which is very low

I wonder if there is a cap of how low your sensitivity should be in order for max efficiency. What is the lowest sensitivity rank 1 players play COD, League, CSGO, etc on?

It's weird because sometimes my aim feels on point then next it feels like my mouse is super heavy and the aim is a struggle to move but my mouse is really light?

gonna be honest tf2 is my most played game and for that, it has my most accurate and useful sens at 3.94 @ 1600 DPI. Halo MCC wasn't far off but my keybinds between all the games were everywhere, so creating some sort of continuity helped a lot.

im using 85cm/360

Should ads and free look match 1:1? Or should ads be a bit lower?

My biggest problem is that I run 4k, with windows scaling, and it throws everything off when I'm used to XXX sensitivity on the desktop. I'm also generally a higher sensitivity user since I grew up in the early days of gaming when mice were big and heavy, so now I have carpal tunnel. I find strict aim training to be quite a chore (it annoys me... like nails on a chalk board annoying). I think a lot of these guides out there don't focus enough on getting your ideal DESKTOP sensitivity on top of in-game settings, and a lot of the aim guides focus too much on games that aim with crosshair only (no ADS/Iron Sights). For example, my preferred FPS game right now is Hunt Showdown, and going between a gun lowered state, to hipfire, to ADS/Irons is 3 different settings. playing with something like 40cm/360 at a lowered state is fucking awful, as when you go to hipfire, its now like 60cm/360, and when you ADS it is then 80cm/360. So where are you setting your cm/360? ADS? Hipfire? Where are you setting your DPI? What about windows scaling (it does effect mouse speed, especially in game menu's and on desktop)? how do you then compensate for larger monitors and higher resolutions like 1440p and 4k?

lol, i did the aimlab sens finder yesterday and it came up with 27cm/360 instead of my usual 45cm/360. it feels great but my scores lose about 20k per scenario 😅 maybe I'll keep it 😂

due i love arsenal

SIMPLE, GET IN REAL GAME TO FIND YOUR SENSITIVITY. You need the HEAT OF THE BATTLE to find it.

I have a question whats the best sens for a 7200 dpi mouse?

Hey dude watched this before and think you might have the same postural issue i have. Im basing this off of the over head view and how you set up to your desk. Its not a "we position the same so are the same" little thought assumption. In fact my position has my left arm angled kind of inward at the elbow joint and the same for my right. However logical thinking dictates the way you position yourself to be better in terms of accomadating the postural issue. Anyway the reason i think you share the same postural issue is you appear to angle your torso slightly to the left, yet your upper body appears to be twisted slightly to the right. This essentially pulls the right shoulder in an arc backwards leaving it further away from the desk. You have then chosen to angle the arm further out so arm movements are less restricted by your own ribcage and it probably helps flatten out the forearm into full pronation, since with the shoulder relatively twisted to round too the right and therefore slightly backward its harder to maintain forearm pronation. (try it out pull your shoulder back and round and keep your arm angled straight forward. And try to maintain a flat palm down hand. Its possible is straining and unnatural feeling). The solutions are to either extend the arm forward away from the body or rotate the arm outward away from your body. You seem to have chosen the latter for your own comfort and it seems to work for you (wish it worked for me too 😢) Anyway the issue im talking about is a twisted pelvis. Specifically a left twisted pelvis in which your right side of the pelvis is rotated both in towards the body midline and down and the left can either be neutral or like mine is rotated left further away from the midline and up. This is theoretical obviously with evidence based ln awkward camera angle imagery so it may be entirely incorrect so if you think it might be correct look through the following statements and see if they apply to you. If you have a left twisted pelvis: You may have some stability issues when walking which may be accompanied by achiness anywhere from the glutes down to the feet. You may notice that when standing still your right foot ends up positioned slightly further forward than the left and will likely be more externally rotated (foot twisted outwards) whilst the left leg may ne more twisted inward. In my case i feel like my left leg as a whole is further in ao it is closer to the midline of the body and my right leg feels further away. This is because the pelvic twist causes a functional leg length discrepancy. Your left side specifically the outside muscles like the left oblique muscle may feel tight or a bit sore due to overworking to stop you from to far forward and to your left. Your ight side might feel loose/ underworked or simply normal. The upper back then has to compensate so that your not turned to the left and are facing forward. It does this by twisting to the right in opposition to the pelvis. This can make left chest and shoulder muscles tight and right upper back and trap muscles tight. You may feel like the pressure on your butt is uneven when sitting down and that your left butt bone feels lower down than your right. You may get aches and pain in your lower back but you will almost certainly feel like your lower back is tight and stiff. Like me you may look into the issue and the first things that seem relevant are some form of pelvic tilt but the recommendations or exercises for the corrisponding conditions seem to only help a little or not help at all. You may feel like your left arm is easier to position deeper onto your desk and is more comfortable than the right arm when angled inwards towards you. Right arm feels less comfortable further onto the desk possibly making the arm to desk contact feel unstable and leaving you feeling like you should be able to have your arm deeper on the desk but its not comfortable or maintainable. Here are a few tests that might help if you think you do have a pelvic torsion after reading this. Can you twist your entire torso at the waist further and comparably more easily to the left than to the right. Is it easier to shift your weight onto the outside of your left hip than it is to the right. (Leg goes in hip goes out whilst standing relatively straight up) Do you feel like you put more weight onto your left leg. This may be acompanied by either wrapping the right calf over the left shin like i do or some other right leg alignment that effectively lowers the weight put on the right leg further down by effectively shortening the legs length. Love your videos btw.

Hello, I love your videos, what do you have to say about "polling rate"? the more the merrier or does it make no difference? thanks

bro flick with an arm wtf

i usually adjust my sensitivity depending on the day, some days 25-28cm feels perfect for me and other days 45-50 or even 60cm feels perfect, also depends on game ofc

I agree on choosing different sens for different game.

i need some dev to make a sensitivity tool for a game so that fps games follow suite

Clark Richard Williams Kimberly Martin Laura

Whenever I started to care about being "good" at aiming I started changing sens to one that the best aimed in my opinion, the one I liked the most (XANTARES) uses, I was using .45 sens at 800 dpi and I switched to 2.5... 3 years of adjustment but now I can aim any sens I could want bc to offset the difficulty of switching to a "high" sens from low I kinda mastered 800 1200 1600 and 1800 dpi 2.5 sens, the only one giving me trouble was 400 and so I just grinded, but now I enjoy the way I aim and the amount of options I have now, I'm kinda climbing face it levels, got to lv 9 from 6 in 1 week and already have 2100 elo. What I wanted to state is that playing every sens gives more benefits then finding" your own" sens. My own sens was .45 at 400.

Mtfking ball got in the jar then popped out u where like, rly???

What if im underaiming sometimes and sometimes overaiming on the same sensi ?

I can always get used to any sense that's low. My main issue (especially in cs2) is that 180 is quite difficult. If I have to turn around, I have to pick my mouse up to move again. And it's something I could never get used to. I still play on low sense tho, playing with high sense causes me to miss way to many good kill opportunities

When i change my sens i do this glide ur mouse left to right side if your crosshair moves 180° its the best

Martinez Shirley Garcia Dorothy Lee Elizabeth

love that you added arsenal, bets game out there!

I took a look at your videos and saw that it was plagiarising your content and i am deeply sorry i have people edit and do parts of the scripting for me So i deeply apologise for this thanks for bring it to my attention

This guy is Human AimBot 🗿

Martinez Jose Lee Jennifer Rodriguez Ronald

the beginning had me lol cause i def flew off the desk once

high sens is nice and all, but its bad for long range you will over aim and most likely miss most of your shots, so build your sens by your gamestyle and guns you use

how do i find my mouse DPI if its variable?

Would using RawAccel make this test / practice in any way less effective? If you're wondering, I am using a linear graph.

I get the part for a sens for different game or usage in the same game depending on yor style, but do you do the same for aim training? what sens should we use ?

Thanks for the video! I’m almost addicted to changing my sense and have success and failures at all ranges. After this method it felt like a great sense. If the feeling doesn’t stay I could just do it again depending on what changed. I’ve gone through so many mice and mousepads, FOV and sensitivities. I just need to pick something an stay in that general area

Robinson Michael Johnson Sarah Martin William

I run 4000dpi mouse at 1000dpi and in games value of 3 in most games.

Thanks just by applying what you did in 2 minutes into the video i adjusted my sense, i am playing much better now.

Bro I can't seem to get off of 4500 dpi 😭 low feels too slow

Jones Deborah Jackson Nancy Davis Gary

I unfortunately, I was usually only know where is my best mouse sensitivity on zoom in sniper rifles, and ironsight always had some shortcomings... Also in ironsight I'm still trying to find the one perfect, although I miss the option 1.00001 etc. in the game because it seems to me that my ideal sensitivity is some micro decimal number xD On my test I saw that 19 is too little for me, 20 is too much... I have no idea for this...

I am a top500 aimer on kovaaks and without a doubt I can say that mouse sensitivity does not have that much of a impact. 20-80 cm/360 seems to be most optimal and if there is a weakness on the higher aim or lower its due to a aiming weekness not because the sens is bad

Great guide thanks bro 👍

There's no "Perfect" sens for anyone. It's all up to what sens you start training your aim with.

I'm not trying to be stupid here, but I'm trying to understand it all better. I've done an analysis for my sensitivity, and it came out to 10.07414. So the sens feels great for me and my setup, however, what do I do when the number comes out to being this long, and Overwatch only accepts 10.07 as the sensitivity? Do the remaining digits really even matter and am I just overthinking it?

I really struggle with fast pace games like CoD where I have to move quickly inside buildings etc. I use 30cm/360 and often find myself either no mousepad room and forget to recentre and get lazy. I use a artisan zero or SkyPad so not exactly small pads either. I need help for sure just don’t know what to do. Someone help me please !

I play with a small.mouse. A laptop mouse. With a 1000dpi . But i use claw grip sort like. Its more a spider grip. I use thump and my ringfinger to move the mouse around. So reason i use a real small mouse for it. I do not see people use it really.

So confusing how you are adjusting your mouse sensitivity (hip aim) but you’re doing aim demonstrations while ADS. ADS and the Hipfire aim are two different settings, no?

I feel like finding sensitivity is like tuning guitar

dont overthink it. just pick a random one. i play on 8.3cm/360 and everyone tells me it's too fast but i still have better aim than them. pick pretty much anything

Worked like a charm ty :D

Struth vs optimum tech 1v1 apex legends, wingman and r99

im using 9000dpi so i dont need to move my hand that mutch.and default game sensitives. and back in the days cs 1.6 i used 6.1 sensitive since back then there wasn't such thing as dpi

for overwatch 3200 dpi try sens 1.13 - 1.16 for optimal and smooth aim

ty so much my aim is so much better its so easy to aim

How I did it: Jump. Do a 180 with one flick. If this doesn't work change sens until it works. Now it's about 61 on OW2 (1k dpi)

When I was between 12 and 15 years old and was able to play 5-7 hours a day CS, I never changed my mouse or the sensitivity and that’s what all this bs here is all about. Never change a running system!!!

My biggest problem is the confirmation "if i shoot now would hit it" and because of that i click to late. Overall i have problems with clicking fast enough even if i flick react with no confirmation. I feel like im very often on the head but my click comes to late and now its a miss. Any ideas how to train that, or do i just need to learn somehow to trust my aim more ? if so any idea on how to do that ^^?

I use 800dpi 1.3 in game for Apex, thats my sweet spot, i have days when i both over aim and under aim, but there's a human factor to this, its not all about sens, some of us will never be perfect.

sadly my instinctive sens is 1.5@1600 in overwatch, And I main tank 😂

I can play Farlight 84 with a mouse and keyboard, but Apex Legends is too fast pace

Be careful this video convinced me for a year that i was shit because i set my sens too low Not bad advice just remember to check all the boxes

how you can demonstrate sens settings when you are showing hip fire and NOT ADS sens!

aiming will be forgotten once new valve shooter game releases.. the game is 90% decision making 10% aim mechanic it will make other games laughable

so here i am thinking... playing tarkov with a sens of .3 and ads .32 (roughly 30cm/360). now the sens sure is good and all but never really tried to find the perfect sens. in tarkov there are things that affects your sensitivity alot so it kinda forces you to play with higher sens to combat and move in battle.. sure i could put my hipfire sens to somewhere like 25cm/360 and have my ads sens on 30-40cm/360 but is it really good for your aim?

when I aim to the left: I overaim when I aim to the right: I underaim when I change my sens: perfect aim once I get used to it: constatly overaim

51 is considered very low? its crazy, after using 80cm for some time(in cs), it doesnt feel low at all. At the same time tho, when i play hunt im at about 32 cm and it doesnt feel fast :D

To sum up this 9 minute video all you need to do to find your perfect sensitivity is to do flicks with different sensitivities until you have a subconscious notion with a sensitivity of how far your hand wants to move to get your crosshair to it.

none of these games would be a somewhat difficult game if you could cheese the very mechanic that would make any of them. obviously just the recoil, what no one wants to mention for some reason is that games in the pc space are very biased , your whole rig and specs go into being a better player simply because you have an advantage. Now add the fact not everyone looks at the main aspect of all of these games, the recoil. You could have the best aim in the world, but if you can't keep the cursor still while shooting it doesn't matter does it. This is why low dpi is essentially ,based off how the game is coded, quite broken as it allows for microadjustments without a high margin for error where as if you use a high dpi recoil will basically make any small adjustment absolutely destroy your tracking. This person in the video has a lower sense, his adjustments didnt mess with his tracking at all during the full auto firing of the gun which makes it look like it has aim assist(ill get to that later) , but at a higher dpi this becomes impossible to do. So if you want any chance at actually being good in terms of fps games, low dpi is most definitely at the advantage. Now when I said aim assist, I meant how controllers slow your aim down near a target. Controllers by default will be a lower sense than something you could use your hand to move instead of an analog that naturally depends on your thumbs. Controllers make up all the 40 plus kill games you see in warzone. Why? because low sense is undeniably the only way you would ever be able to replicate a controller which IS UNBEATABLE! its like watching pc players play against controller in games like apex. It's obvious low sensitivity is how these games were designed to use. Higher sensitivity will always lose unless you are computer that could make the adjustments without physically moving a mouse at high dpi, but through numerical inputs.
