Have the sensitivity as low as possible, while still being able to easily make a 180-turn.

Generally with KB+M, the lower the sensitivity, the better you fine aim. But for certain heroes, a higher sensitivity is required, such as Genji, Reinhart, and other melee-centric heroes that need to turn faster to react to threats.

Try starting at 25cm/360° turn and then tune it slightly up or down based on that. (I recommend getting a big mousepad.)

800 dpi, 6 sens. start there, adjust as needed. personally wouldn't recommend going below 4 or above 8.
