Is there some sort of secret? No matter what sensitivity my mouse is set to I seem to get stuck when turning. On a controller I can turn completely in a circle, but not with a mouse unless i’m missing something. I’m willing to accept that I might be an idiot. But seriously how to people do it? It just feels so unatural. Sorry if this is a dumb question, because I think it’s a dumb question too.
A lot of comments missing this part: you have to lift your mouse to relocate it back to center.
A low sensitivity mouse results in so called “rowing”.
There are a lot of different preferred styles, as an example: eSports tends to higher DPI (dots per ich) since every millisecond counts but the precision falls behind which can be trained.
After all I would recommend trying a mainstream shooter game like Counter-Strike and leave the settings vanilla.
Start a match or training or what else and pick yourself 3-4 points of the environment like a corner of a wall, a bench and so on.
Now aim at one point, close your eyes and try to move your cross hair onto another point, open your eyes and you will notice that you are either too far beyond the aimed point or didn’t reach it.
This offset can be adjusted inside the most in-game setting by decreasing or increasing the mouse sensitivity.
If you always have to crank up or down your sensitivity in every game to the same direction you probably should change your mouse DPI.
Most mice come with software where you can adjust this. Also when playing on windows disable mouse acceleration.

This is accurate, yeah. Sometimes pros use 400 DPI, some use 1000 DPI. There’s probably at least a few madlads using 2000+ dpi or some shit.
Personally, I use 1600. I don’t have a particular reason for that- I might actually try turning it down- it’s just what feels comfortable.

Woah, I just checked and I also use 1600 DPI. Let’s start a cult.
