Mouse sensitivity is a crucial setting in CS2 that directly impacts your aiming ability and overall performance. Here's everything you need to know to optimize your settings.

Understanding eDPI (Effective DPI)

eDPI = DPI x in-game sensitivity

Example calculation:

• DPI: 800
• In-game sensitivity: 1.5
• eDPI: 800 x 1.5 = 1200

Most pro players use an eDPI between 800 and 1600, with a DPI range of 400-800 for precise aiming.

DPI and Sensitivity Impact

Higher DPI + Lower Sensitivity:

• Better for micro-adjustments
• Smoother mouse movement
• More precise control

Lower DPI + Higher Sensitivity:

• Better for quick flicks
• Faster reactions
• Suitable for aggressive play

Pro Player Settings Examples

s1mple:

• DPI: 400
• Sensitivity: 3.09
• eDPI: 1236

ZywOo:

• DPI: 400
• Sensitivity: 1.95
• eDPI: 780

donk:

• DPI: 800
• Sensitivity: 1.25
• eDPI: 1000

NiKo:

• DPI: 800
• Sensitivity: 0.75
• eDPI: 600

High vs. Low Sensitivity Comparison

High Sensitivity:

• Faster reactions
• Better for close combat
• May reduce accuracy
• Harder to control

Low Sensitivity:

• Better accuracy
• Easier tracking
• Requires more arm movement
• Slower turning speed

Choosing Your Sensitivity

Consider your playstyle:

• Snipers/passive players: Lower sensitivity for precision
• Entry fraggers: Higher sensitivity for quick reactions
• Experiment with different settings
• Allow time for muscle memory development
• Prioritize comfort over copying pro settings

Remember that the best sensitivity is personal and depends on your playstyle, hand size, and comfort level. Take time to experiment and adjust until you find your optimal settings.
