The TRUTH about your Sensitivity (NO BS) 

New video out now explaining my thoughts for each clip in Ranked! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wSQLjaekOm4.html

as someone who has gone through 3 mice and 4 mouse pads in the past couple years it is way more impactful than people make it out to be

This video is pure gold. You explained lots of the things we need to consider for fps gaming in under 5 mins. Good job!

this man don't even got 1k help him out guys tbh

Good video. I've been playing FPS for a long time and definitely understood this, but I will say I've never seen a video explaining it as clearly as this and I hope a lot of people see it and take it on board!

best sens is the one you are comfy with, best mouse is the one you have - you can try all the combinations but its all down to preference and what feels good (ofc with getting results for you personally)

Finally someone talks sense about aiming, people need to know how many factors come into play when it comes to aim. Sensitivity, mouse; mouse sensor, mouse grips (claw, palm fingertip, hybrids), mouse size, mouse weight, material used to make mouse(for a tighter grip), wrist/finger tip/ arm aimer, table height, chair height, fatigue, humidity, whether your wrist/arm is sweating or not, anxiety levels or calmness and what not. Great video man, well done. 👍 BTW I play a low edpi and realized I would aim better whenever the AC would be turned on (lol), turns out its because my arms dnt get sweaty and i can move smoothly.

I used to play with a Red Dragon Cobra 2 FPS and then changed to a HyperX Pulsefire Haste, which is waaay more light, the difference was tremendous, It felt like I never played FPS all my life and took a long time to accept that I’d need to fit my sense all over again

Actually a useful video and not just a click bait. Hats off to you FPS Fox. I myself has been what they call a "wrist aimer" since I played MOBA all my life and I've been used to using 2800 dpi x 1sensi light mouse on a cloth pad. Everyone just kept saying I should switch and get use to 800 dpi x 0.4 or whatever they recommended because their fav. pro player used it. It'll worn my hand/arm out if I were to do that. Although I did took the advice and switched to 2800 dpi x 0.69 sensi (noice) and my aim has been a little more consistent or it could be the warm up before matches. Thanks to the video I realized I do aim with my fingers too, left/right via wrist and up/down via fingers. And that I also realized that I've been fingertip gripping all my life because I have large hands/long fingers (I'd be pressing the buttons with my phalanges if I wanna palm grip). One of the most useful videos for valorant or gaming in general under 5 minutes. Respect.

This video is so useful. A few years ago in CS, i was playing 800 dpi on a g502. Eventually i got a 60g mm711 and was completely off on how i was playing. Eventually dropped gradually down to 400 dpi on light mice and 500 dpi on 85g or above mice to stay consistent.

I’m so glad I found another channel I can start following religiously for Valorant advice. I’ve been constantly trying to improve and since I can’t play as much as I used to because of office work, I’m so glad you are creating videos that go straight to the point, concise and just the right amount of pace in your speech to keep me interested in what you’re saying. Thank you for making these videos and it seems your channel is relatively new so I am really looking to forward to the other content you’re planning to put out!

I've been playing FPS for 2 years+, nearly 3 years and until recently only I find the most suitable setup for me. Been using 4 mice, until 2 months ago I get my Lamzu Atlantis Mini, finally I feel that:" Damn is this mouse customized for me?" For the pad, been switching from GSR to Artisan Hayate Otsu, and recently get a GSR-SE Rouge, and from that time my aim improved drastically. For those sweaty hands as me, I will recommend to wear sleeves to glide better and also avoid to drench your mousepads. Now I switch my mousepads between different games, and yeah, it takes time to find your optimal setup. but it deserve the time.

another thing, you dont have to specifically do arm aiming or wrist or fingertip, you can switch it up on the fly for whatever situation, also a biggggg factor to how your aim feels is your desktops sens cuz thats what you will be using 9999% of ur time on the pc. your "natural sensitivity" comes from that atleast imo. i can go anywhere from 65cm/360 to 25cm/360 comfortably, as long as i change my desktop sens to get close to how it feels ingame, also different fovs and sensitivity scales between games are gonna be different, i play csgo around 65ish mostly and i play apex at 25-30, thats just what feels comfortable, and probably the most important thing for hitting your shots is comfort. if you feel comfy in whatever sens your playing youre not really thinking about your mouse and crosshair and where you need to aim and bla bla bla, you just move your hand naturally and there isnt a lot of processing your doing, ive been trying this stuff out the past year or so and ive noticed my aim is more precise, faster, and consistent when i stop thinking about it all and just aim. you just gotta find whats natural for you, also constantly changing your sens around will help alot in rounding out your aim skill

Straight to point and well explained, Great video my friend

this actually helped dude , matter of fact i never looked in these stuff and like i didnt even think that those things wud matter , i appreciate it , I am def subscribing and recommending your channel to my friends , keep up the good work!

I learned this by going from a Death Adder to a Viper v2 Pro. It was about 23 grams lighter and I had to nearly half my sensitivity to make it feel comfortable.

Very good video, I’d like to also point out about training your aim. I have done both styles of training my aim. I first tried having my same in-game sensitivity and my Kovaaks (or whatever aim trainer you use) the exact same. I have discovered that all it takes to be a good aimer is to have good mouse control, your sensitivity doesn’t necessarily matter if you have good mouse control, you can have sensitivity ranges that you prefer and feel more consistent results on. But just about any good aimer can adapt to any sensitivity fairly quickly. This notion about needing to use the same sensitivity for years to get the muscle memory down is not worth it. I recommend that you find a sensitivity that you like the feeling of looking around on the most and training on that sensitivity to get better aim. Back on topic of what I was getting at. When you aim train (not when you are playing comp games or whatnot, but solely aim training) you should double your sensitivity and aim train on that. It will point out all the flaws in your raw aim immediately that you yourself can bare witness to. When you train on very high sens (9-20 cm 360) once you go to play your matches your aim will feel way more controlled and less shaky and you will be more consistent. Your brain adapts very quickly to sensitivity changes. Once I started training my aim on a 17 cm 360 when I play valorant on a 37 cm 360. I noticed the benefits immediately and you can see your own progress day by day, week by week. Of your aim becoming a lot more solid and consistent.

Few factors to consider as well is how close you are to the desk when playing (arm position), if you’re wearing long sleeves. They could both affect the mouse movement

Your video completely changes my perspective on Sensitivity and shows some perspective i and many people like me never thought of Awesome video keep it up 🙏

These videos are such high quality and have so much detail. You will blow up soon. You definetly earned a sub from me.

other essentials people could use to improve their aim is by using mouse grip tape in which helps have a better grip with your fingers and using better mouse skates since some default skates don't travel as much depending on the mouse pad surface one is using.

there is also another factor DPI deviation. where a dpi setting on your mouse slightly deviates from its reported setting and this deviation varies between mice. so your friends or pros sense wont actually feel the same on your mouse

I have a small desk tho for my keyboard and mouse so I'm kinda forced to use wrist for my mouse and I don't have the money to upgrade or the desk nor the extra room to do so since I have a lot of things I need to do before I can even think of upgrading the desk. Is there like any advice for me? I use 0.327 and 1600 dpi but I just can't hit shots I've tried 0.2 with 1600 dpi-1800 dpi I've tried 0.3-0.6 sensitivities with different kind of dpis I've even tried a lower dpi like 800 with my mouse space and that didn't work at all since I couldn't turn in time for enemies behind me and even with all of that I've tried I just can't hit shots and I know I'm pretty bad at the game but I mean I even use death match, unrateds, the range,aimlabs time to time, etc to warmup my aim but idk what else to try at this point

This was actually much more helpful than i expected! thank you!

Also how low your chair is (arm to table force), how high or low your monitor is (angle of which you view the game), how close your monitor is (what i have noticed is that if i have my monitor closer to my eyes my sens will feel way faster). Long story short is honestly find a seating position which you feel comfortable on, a height and distance for your monitor so you can sit and play for a long period of time without your neck feeling sore, because all of this play a huge part in consistency especially for tactical fps games.

also I remember a guy used a machine to precisely move a mouse so that he can test if 400 dpi (more or less) on one mouse is the same as 400 dpi on another and it was not, he tried on a few others and found that the range can vary up to around 30%

Also you have to factor dpi deviation from mouse to mouse. That’s something people don’t think about or even know it exists

For me, it's actually hard to find your sens in valorant. I am iron 3 and I just started playing the game with 0.9 sens and 1200 mouse dpi, but a lot of pro videos I watched always recommend to have low sens if you're below immortal which seems very hard for me cuz I only have small mousepad. I'm comfortable with 0.9 sens tho cuz I'm a Raze main and I always have to "Flick + satchel" in some instances to reposition myself. However, due to a high sens, I am struggling to aim especially when I strafe and shoot, cuz it's hard for me to micro-flick that makes me lose most of my gunfight. This video kinda helped me decide on what to stick with, maybe I need to practice more in order to play well with my high sens.

a quote from my late father, tigs "this changes everything" amen

Only other thing I would say is that a lot of gamers won't be able to buy new equipment so find what works well for what you have. Changing mouse sense everyday isn't good for building muscle memory so it shouldn't be done constantly. Find a mouse sense you can work with and just practice, overtime you'll get used to whatever you set it to and you'll do better than if you changed your sense over and over. Equipment will play into what you can do so like one of my friends played with a tiny mouse pad so his sense was cranked almost to max because he literally had to and another plays with an office mouse but they're much higher rank than I am. Equipment will matter to figure out how you want to tune your settings but it won't limit you as a player.

Dude, this video really hit the mark. I use 800 DPI with a .2 sens. I just rencently switched from a g502 to a superlight. I had to pause for a second when you said that lol.

I use a Viper V2 with a Razer Strider pad and sadly, I don't see it on the doc.

so underrated, keep up the great work and youll get far

Some mice also have higher or lower senser placement. If the sensor is lower the mouse will feel slower compared to a mouse with a higher up senser on the same sensitivity.

Arm length is very important for arm aimers and where you pivot. I tend to play lower sense (even low for arm aiming) but I’m a taller person and I pivot at my elbow so my sense still feels very usable, especially after I bought a lower friction mouse pad (which tend to be better as you go lower in sense because it reduces flick time. At higher sensitivities, having the ability to stop the mouse accurately at short strokes tends to be better).

great video. i wanna add that the mouse skates used can also affect things

me as sea player who plays in internet cafe with different gear everytime : I NEED MY OWN PC I GUESS

best video i've seen on this topic yet :) great vid u earned yourself a subscriber

i played on an OW team with Hoya and the way he spoke about mousepads was insanely confusing to me, I had no idea so many factors went into a mousepad.

yo. i literally had the same idea and also a different one for equipment. . but good explaination. all the other guides just focus on pros but not the individual gamers.

Keep up the good content man, subbed 💪

What you say in this video is very true and I typically prefer a heavier mouse with a semi medium resistence mouse surface/pad. I have a G502X and chose this over the Superlight when the proces were similar on Black friday because I play on a high sens (0.45 on 1600dpi) in a game especially like valorant where precision matters I need some resistance to get a good stop without straining my hands way to much to hit the necessary headshots. I am sticking to this high sens because I switch between BR games as well as shooter games like Valorant and so I would need to turn quick 360s way more often in BR games which is easier with a high sens. I am slowly trying to reduce the sens now ever so slightly weekly while aim training becuase I don't htink a high sens is in any way healthy for the joints

this is completely true Ive been playing logitech 203 and pretty much gathered all the muscle memory in the world reach immo 2 and then it broke and I tried viper mini and god it was too high due to weight alone. Brought my sensitivity 30% and still does not feel the same. would buy another 203 soon

you talked abt mousepads i have none, i play on my table. MY POWER IS BEYOND YOUR UNDERSTANDING

I've gone through quite a few pads and mice. Currently getting used to G-Wolves HSK Pro on my SkyPAD 3.0. love it so far. This pad gonna last me forever

2:12 i also had the same feeling with my QCK mouse pad. I washed it poorly (because i didn't know how to wash it good) and i still felt worn. I bought another one, but after some time the same problem occurred. The mose pad is just dirty as fuck, not worn. After a good wash it feels brand new, even after few years.

Good video bro. To the point with very good info

After being on the Qck Heavy L with the steelseries rival 310, it's a little harder to aim. I use lightweight mice (Xtrfy M4 now Pulsar X2 Wireless) on the Qck Heavy xxl and it is perfect.

Dear FPS Fox, I would HIGHLY recommend you to watch a video about DPI Deviation (hopefully spelled right) and update this video since this factor is in my Opinion a larger Influence to sens than everything else you mentioned in this video. Great Video tho, really enjoied it! If you cant find it I can look for it and edit the Link into the comment.

i got the G502X after owninng the GPX Superlight for a year, and GODDAMN the difference is HUGE, for FPS its almost impossible to go back to a heavier mouse, i still use the G502X Plus for overall gaming and use but i can't play Valorant in it, i just can't , the worst part of having a heavy mouse is lifting it to do wide movements, even more so with low sens like i play with, it IS a really huge difference Also, please make yourself a favor and get an Artisan Mousepad, they are godlike

The editing and content is amazing i was shocked when i saw your sub count keep it up!

Can you give us a short comment about posture ? My posture is laid back and not a strait back so I got used to wrist aiming, so sitting up the proper way and having my whole arm on the mousepad is just alien to me. Probably limits my potential but was just curious what you think. A bit of an older video but still really good. Thanks for making it

Equipment matters and alot of people overlook it. Probably because it's been normalized that most players have mid to high end mice. Pad and grip style is something that also takes time to figure out

you choose my exact sens as the example, also just flipped my mousepad around and feels much smoother now, might be time for me to buy a new one soon

I tried a simpler editing style for this video, please let me know if you like it, the other ones take much longer. Thank you for your support, it means so much to me ❤😊!

A lot of you don’t have to worry about any this. Your brain isn’t stupid and will adapt really quickly. If you constantly change sens, yes you will perform worse because you’re not used to that sens. You don’t have to change the sens to something you are more confortable with, you can just leave the sens as is, and it will become confortable. Your mouse pad being dirty doesn’t matter because your brain will adapt to it. Having a mousepad is more of an aesthetic choice for your setup especially if you have a mouse with skates. A lot of you guys just need to play the game and stop worrying about other factors that your brain will just get used to. If you have the money to get new stuff for your setup, then go for it or don’t worry about it.

this simple one is cool , nice vid BTW !

I call the BS about the mouse weight thing, imho the problem for most people is having a to sensitive mouse where every micro movement effects it. Turn down DPI or reduce the hz on yout mouse so it stands more still, or reduce your sens ingame and try acceleration because you can then have very low sens and 360 turns with ease. If your not a grinder this should be tested

I'll never understand how it works, like your example of 0.2 with 800 DPI is ULTRA SUPRA MEGA slow, I can't even make a 360 with my all mouse pad ? How do people play with it

a coach of a pro said a glass mouse pad would in theory be the best because of the consistency of the glide making you know exactly what the mouse will do with your sensitivity but the learning curve is too big thats why people hesitate

Keep making videos of this quality even if it means lowering your output. One of these is bound to catch the algorithm and you’ll blow up to a few thousand overnight. Coming from experience (not a big channel), it isn’t easy, but you got this.

This video changed everything and opened my eyes lol

i bought like 7 mouse to find whats the best fit on my hand. the most important thing about mouse is the shape for me, second the weight, its so much difference between a 60gr, 55gr, and 50gr u kinda need some times to adapt. and also depends on the game, such as league is sucks using lightweight and wireless cause how hard it is to control the cursor even after weeks to adapt i still cant. i have 2 main mice right now, 1 for FPS and 1 for other things

In my experience in aiming I don't think there is muscle memory but more muscle mind connection. For me i can easily change up my sensitivity from time to time and still aim as well if not sometimes better.

good video and good info (muscle memory is still kinda disputed/disliked in the aiming community but it's easier for others to understand) only thing that i wanna say on this is that while things can effect ur sens, u can always adapt to it and train ur mouse control to do better regardless of the way u aim/grip ur mouse

I use a higher DPI on larger mice to allow for more inner hand motions than on mice that don't sit as far back in the palm. That is something about dpi a lot of people don't consider.

Nice vid, i prefer slightly heavier mice but not too heavy. Used alot of Deathadder V3 recently but going back to G303 atm

Great video, would you recommend high or low sens for fingertip?

I play on 0.18 sens and have the Logitech g pro super light and a glorious mousepad and I can assure you that it makes a big difference. Even if you play on low sens, you can do flicks and stuff easily

I have a SS Qck that I have been using for 6 years+, there is a big spot on the pad thats grey instead of black, its like a deadzone

Thank you! I hope you get more subscribers!

How come you have less than 1k subs? Damn, you’re underrated

this is why I always go back into the settings to mess with my sensitivity when I get a new mouse. just got a lighter mouse so had to lower it a bit

I have 0.5 sensitivity, 1600 dpi and wrist gamer very detailed analysis man :)

After years of playin FPS games you eventually realise these things, thatswhy I wash my mousepads regularly, clean my keyboard and mouse... trust me all this matters and muscle memory is also very crucial.

How exactly does amount of energy it takes to move mouse (mouse weight) changes your accuracy? Sure, for mousepad wear it would, because it would add inconsistencies in pad resistance. I don't see what difference it makes for weight.

It's so sad that he doesn't do videos anymore😢😢

You're very underrated. great vid

if you keep this up you have big things coming

Also talk about the difference between the size of the mice I have a viper mini and tried gpx superlight and the viper mini is still better for me

You also forgot that there is a DPI deviation, so you can´t trust the settings someone has unless you have the same mouse and mousepad, cause it varies through mouse and mousepad. For example overhyper finalmouse has insanely high DPI deviation over any other mouse, so if you would like to say, copy Tenz settings, not only he plays on one of the lightest mices, it also has higher dpi deviation.

not to mention different lasers inside the mouse give you differnt distances per inch even with the same dpi as another mouse.

wow I use a g502 and thank you so so much for this video man you deserve more subs!

how on earth did i get this recommended right after going from a Logitech g502 to a G pro x superlight and consistently overflicking ever since

I have a 0.6 @ 400dpi, hyperX XL mousepad and a g502 wired and i can relate to everything said in this video!

I knew the mousepad could be affected by humidity. There are just some days where my mouse feels so slippery without changing any settings at all.

yep i switched last month from cloth to hard pad and holy shit bro i was terrible for a week or so but now i’m back and better imo

used to play on rival 3 which is 77 grams and got a g pro x superlight which is 63. played on .55 800 so i counted that i should use around -15% from my basic sens. so now i use 0.467 800 dpi.

"Hard pad, cloth pad, hybrid etc" Me who uses desk or just a book:💀

Thanks for the video! what's your rank? May be we can play together

I unfortunately love light both mice and giant mice so finding mice that work has been a struggle.

also i experimented and im much better with high sens only fingertip. Im so much more consistent with it long ranges (micro adjusments) and close ranges. Also can get much more awarness cause of high sens. So experiment and test around which muscle group ur best with, maybe wrist or wrist and arm or any other and test senses! tip 3 was so good for me. i went from d3 to immo 1 :) i was a decent/semi pro fortnite player and only used high sens so thats prbly why. i have way more experience with wrist.

G502 to Glorious Model D. The amount of times I had to re-aim after flicking the first few times😅.

hi i am ur 250 subscriber i hope u grow big and i wish u good luck

We use so much of the similar skins I use Ion Phantom, RGX Vandal and Ruination Ghost

Hard pads only have less friction if you're using a sleeve or are in a humidity free environment. Otherwise your mouse will fly, but your wrist/arm will stick within a single competitive session. So ti's even more complicated than that :p However, in the end... unless your mouse *absolutely* doesn't fit your hand, is broken, or your mousepad is made of cardboard... it won't make much of a difference if you're bad at whatever game you play. It won't make a silver into gold. Just won't. Been there. You can give a pro a 30 bucks 3310 sensor, wired, heavy ass mouse, a 60hz monitor and lock the game at 60fps and he'll still crush every single one of the people watching this comment section. It's about what you're comfortable with, comfort will make you better in the end because you'll stop thinking about your gear. *That* is the secret. Reddit, on the other hand, is an echo chamber.

as a person who played fps games for about 20 years now: just use a somewhat low sensitivity that allows you at least do a 180 degrees turn with a comfortable setup AND STICK TO IT.

Если говорить о фликах, то во главе будет мышечная память и да, смена мышки или коврика может негативно сказаться на вашем скиле, но это если мышь или ковер координально отличаются. Если говорить о трекинге, то здесь тоже всё немного проще, при микроконтроле мышь сложно вожить по коврику, приходится её срывать получая рывки, следовательно чем ниже трение тем плавней движения, а снижение веса снижает трение. Конечно если у вас очень низкая сенса и надо работать всей рукой, то о прилипании речи идти не может, вы их скорей всего не заметите.

shape over weight is what im going for in a mouse and if the mouse is heavier im switching to a faster pad

this is sooo true, im currently living in a diff city n couldnt bring my setup w me so im playing at a pc cafe, the mouse is smaller n lighter and the pad is a hardpad when mine is a clothpad, had to lower my sens by quite a bit
