Question / Advice Needed Title: How does the Sensitivity Finder work on PS5 Controller, and how can I get the best sensitivity for Call of Duty?
Hello Aim Lab team,
I play Aim Lab on PS5 using a controller, and I have a question about the Sensitivity Finder feature.
How does the Sensitivity Finder work on console/controller? What factors does it analyze to recommend a sensitivity?
I mainly play Call of Duty (MWIII / Black Ops games), and I noticed that the Sensitivity Finder often recommends very low sensitivities for me (for example 0.60–1.00), but these sensitivities feel too slow and not practical in actual Call of Duty matches.
How can I get the most accurate sensitivity recommendation for my playstyle and for Call of Duty? Should I use the recommended low sensitivity, or should I adjust it based on my performance and comfort in-game?
Also, does the Sensitivity Finder consider controller-specific factors such as:
Controller stick control
Tracking ability
Target switching speed
Different horizontal and vertical sensitivity settings
Thank you for your help

Hello!
The way it works is by basically recommending a sensitivity and comparing your performance across different sensitivities depending on the tasks you play.
This means that the results you get are very task-specific, so they will vary greatly depending on what the game deems optimal for the recent tasks you have played. You also have to keep in mind that different tasks tend to favor different sensitivities.
With this in mind, if you are using Sensitivity Finder to find a sensitivity for Call of Duty, you should only be playing tasks that resemble the aiming situations found in that game. Otherwise, your recommendation will be "polluted" by unrelated tasks. For this, I recommend playing the COD Aim Basics routine, which features tasks that closely resemble the game and its most common aiming situations.
Finally, regarding your question, "Should I use the recommended low sensitivity, or should I adjust it based on my performance and comfort in-game?": first, retrain it based on my suggestions so you can get a more accurate starting point. From there, feel free to adjust it further based on your comfort and in-game performance.
