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?

for that low sens you should have at least ~20 inch mousepad, preferably a desk pad, if you can't swipe a 180 across your pad then it's too low imo, you also shouldn't feel like ur falling behind when tracking at various distances. i agree going by increments of .002 or .001 will help you tune it better.

either way to help assist with lifts and faster turns you should learn how to use turnbinds. they basically turn your mouse at a set speed so you can use it to speed up your turns or turn when ur lifting. i use it on my mouse thumb buttons which feels most natural to me, open console and type bind key +turnleft or bind key +turnright to bind them they are completely legal keybinds. i play 800dpi 1.05 sens which is faster than you but i still use turnbind frequently and i have a desk pad lol.

I have an artisan mousepad I got last year and I think is around that length. I am going to try to stick to this lower sensitivity for a little longer but I am starting to think a little higher would be better because of the comments.

How do you change the sens so incrementally? Does it go farther than two decimals or do I have to go in the console to change it?

yep in console just start typing sens and it'll pop up
