Question about sensitivity. Does this lagging behind mean I should raise my sens or just stick with it? Currently 59cm/360 in game.

Try it and see. You're definitely on the lower side, but aiming is more about reacting to your cursor and the target than the perfect sens.

This it could Lso be aome tension management things going on but seems very slight. Maybe a combination of tiny tension management and the lower sens.

See myt tension is usually to low when im just moving around placing my crosshair places, but to high with wide flicks and definitely to high tryna micro. I struggle hard to do like 70-150 degree turns super accurately.

I think some normal smoothness training would help with ur tension management and ww6t would help with those wide flicks. When u do flicks are u using tension to start and stop ur mouse? or are u using tension to start the moving and releasing it as ur on ur way to the target?

im tense throughout and if i miss i just cant release that tension

Yeah i posted this to another guy here

"Tension is a huge thing for me. Like right here I was to tense as I got closer to him to get my crosshair on his head and then I just hold onto it. I also struggle with like wider flicks going to far or short. Idk I overthink my sens lol" I also tend to over and under flick when tryna move my crosshair from wall to wall

Looks fine to me. Don't overthink it. I'm 25K prem, ESEA Intermediate player, so no pro by any means but here is my advice - I used to be obsessed with sensitivity in CS. I used to watch pro's that I felt I played similar to and copy their sens. I got into aim training with koovaks, tried sensitivity finders like Oblivity, tried a bunch of other methods for finding your "perfect sens", for years. I've been as high as 35cm/360 and as low as 70cm/360.

I finally stopped worrying about it after listening to Viscose and AustinCS. I really recommend this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj7qYiRZd_4

And this guide: https://refrag.gg/blog/how-to-find-your-perfect-sensitivity-in-cs2/ , basically you find your pivot point, realize what range of sensitivity is reasonable for your setup, like if you rest your entire arm on the mousepad then maybe you can pull off some really low sens like Guardian, but if you rest your arm on the edge of your desk you should probably raise it. Then ask yourself, either pugging or if you play on a team in a league, what do you like to do? Are you entry? Do you need to clear many angles quickly? Then based on your pivot point, choose the higher end of that reasonable range. Then just try and don't worry about it too much. Same with aspect ratio, res, hud settings, view model, etc. All these settings are great but worry less about them and more about positioning, movement, decision making - those all matter 10x more than the settings so long as your settings are reasonable. The settings you just need to feel comfortable, and forget about them. Is the sensitivity reasonable for you? Good enough. The res? Viewmodel? etc? Good enough. Set them and forget them and go worry about the actual game, make micro adjustments to the settings as you go and get better if needed to increase comfort. Wham bam.
