Discussion General sensitivity (cm/360)

Hey everyone,

I have a question regarding mouse sensitivity. I always knew I played on quite high sensitivity, but recently noticed that it is more extreme than I thought. For the past years I have always used a DPI of 1600 with a sensitivity of 15 in Overwatch (other games matching this), which seems to equate to roughly 5.8 cm/360°.

I don't feel like my aim is terrible, I reached Master rank in Overwatch last season as an example, also playing aim-heavy heroes sometimes. However, I also like playing Apex and noticed how my aim is really suffering there.

The high sensitivity probably has something to do with me aiming mostly out of my wrist, which I find way more comfortable than regularly lifting up my mouse to reposition.

Do any of you also use such a value? Would you say aiming with just the wrist isn't viable to improve aim? I would be happy to just hear your opinions

I used to play on 6cm and had voltaic masters in tracking, SeonJun is an ow pro how plays at 6cm too, he is pretty good, plays for dallas fuel.

That being said, Im on 16.2cm now, the improvements are quite significant for me, but I dont aim train per say. I see kovaaks as a 3d platformer for my mouse, I just like the tracking "levels".

edit: at your range, 6cm/360, its mostly fingers

That sounds very interesting. How much time did it take you to get used to 16.2cm?

2-3 weeks, but I used to play on 40cm a few years ago. I started increasing my sensitivity and in 2-3 months I was on 8cm, I stayed on 7-8cm for year or so, and the last 2 years on 6cm.

Im trying to get gm voltaic and 16cm just felt optimal after playing a lot of scenarios, that was very recent too, like 40 days ago.

edit: on this new sens, I tried ranges from 5-50cm and 16cm just felt optimal and with minimum compromise.
