My sensitivity across games

Before you blame your sensitivity

• Windows pointer speed at 6/11 — the only unscaled setting
• Mouse acceleration OFF in Windows AND in game
• 'Enhance pointer precision' unticked
• DPI set on the mouse, not left at a shipping default
• Polling rate set deliberately (1000 Hz is standard)
• Same DPI across every game, so only sens changes
• A 180 fits on the mousepad without lifting
• Mousepad big enough, and not curling at the edges
• Scoped/ADS sensitivity converted too, not left at default
• Settings written down somewhere before you experiment
• One change at a time, then played in for a week

eDPI lies across games

800 eDPI is 51.95 cm/360 in CS2 and 16.33 in Valorant — the same number describing settings three times apart. eDPI is a within-game shorthand only. Compare cm/360 or compare nothing.

The 180 is what your desk has to fit

You rarely do a full 360 in play; you do 180s to check behind you. That is half your cm/360. If it is wider than your pad you must lift and reposition mid-turn — which is exactly when you cannot afford to.

Consistency beats optimisation

Aim is a trained motor skill and changing sensitivity resets the training. Pick a figure that lets you complete a 180 on your pad, write it down, and leave it alone long enough to actually learn it.
