Mouse Sensitivity

**5FingerDiscount** · 10-19-09, 04:27 AM

Now I am far from pro, but I'm trying to get there. Lately, I've been trying to change my mouse sensitivity so that it fits me. I went from 1.4 to 1.6 to 2.0 to 2.5, which is where I'm at. What are the TTP pros' mice sensitivity?

There are no "pros'" at TTP :P

I use 300dpi-1 ingame-default windows-with mousefix

Barely get a 90 degree turn with a full swipe. And that's only because my mousepad is huge

Just go into your own server with a bunch of bots that won't shoot you or each other and start messing around with it until you're comfortable, best way to find out.

It also depends on what you have your PC mouse sensitivity set to but mine I change between 8-10.

Thanks for the input Nipples, I was going to say the same thing... My in game mouse sensitivity is 9.6

There are too many variables for a definitive answer. Mine is set to 4.5, but it all depends on what you have it set to on your pc, in game, and what type of mouse you have (dpi).

But overall, I think I prefer a much more sensitive setting than most players. I do not want to have to move the mouse very far. Maybe its all in my head but having to move the mouse 6 inches seems like it would take a split second longer than having to move it 2 inches.

1. I know this has been brought up before.

2. I use 200x200 dpi with in game set to 1.5. Yes that is really slow, but hey ive had better accuracy and shot percentage since I lowered it that low. It also really helps for sniping pretty much in every game.

That is a cop-out, and it's not true.

1) Windows mouse setting (slider bar with 11 settings, any setting other than the middle is a very bad idea to use)
2) DPI
3) In-game sensitivity

With all 3 of these settings you can fully describe your sensitivity, with any mouse. You could also measure how many physical inches you must move your mouse to do a prescribed turn (180 or 360) in the game. That number will be a direct result of the above 3 settings.

+1, that is by far the easiest way to give information about mouse sensitivity, and then you can use that measurement to set your mouse for any game. A low tech solution for high tech games.
