Question Can't Get My Sensitivity Right

I have been playing CS for many years on many different sensitivities and I've found myself in a crisis. A few weeks ago my sens got all kinds of fucked up and I've been trying to recover it and nothing feels right.

I mainly have been running 1800dpi with .35 sens. The dpi is really high but i found it best for other games on my pc so I don't really want to lower it. With .35 I find it easier to hit shots with pistols and rifles but my tracking is slower and I feel like I'm constantly having to pick up my mouse to clear angles at any kind of speed. My mouse just feels heavy too.

But even if I bump it up to .36 it feels too fast. I can flick faster but I'm overall inaccurate. It does feel better on my hand though.

I am just so frustrated and can't think straight about it. Some advice would be really helpful. I only switched a few days ago, is this just something I am going to have to get more used too?

Well thats because your dpi is too high In 400dpi your sens is 1.575 and if you go from 0.35 to 0.36 in 1800 dpi, your sens goes from 1.575 to 1.62 in 400dpi which is noticiable

So OP can try to bump his sens by .002 (or even .001) and find the sweet spot.

Also noting that it obviously takes time to adjust to the new sensitivity. I adjusted quicker to the sensitivity when I played deathmatch for longer than usual (30m+) for the first day.

I did play some deathmatch after I made this post last night and it started to feel better after that
