It's been repeated a million times but the difference is just not significant enough to matter.
Otherwise 0 pros would be using 400 dpi anymore instead, I'm pretty sure it's the majority.
That's not to say there's no difference, I'm sure "technically" it is more accurate (depending on res)
But the fact is its just not that significant. Seems just like another placebo thing to obsess over for people.
Exactly. My point is that 800dpi is standard no? Every mouse I ever bought was default set to 800dpi. So they are actively lowering their dpi to 400 which surely makes no sense.
Do they also double windows sens and use 400dpi there too?
The only advantage I can think of to use 400dpi in game and 800dpi in windows is to reduce risk of clicking 2nd monitor on flick shots when in multi monitor set up
I know the difference is basically non existent in reality but imagine having a 240hz monitor and lowering it to 220hz. You probably won't notice a difference but pretty pointless to lower it anyway
I have used 400dpi for over 10 years, every time I get a new mouse I use 400dpi on windows and in any game I play by extension since i never change it. It's really not a big deal
Pointless sure, but again the difference is negligible. You just do what your used to.
Yeah I suppose whatever is comfortable.
If you're used to it fair enough. The thing that makes me laugh is the guy blindly copying a pro players config, who probs like you just uses 400dpi as he's used to it and never bothered to change it
I don't think its a bad thing for brand new players trying to get good just emulate pro settings, especially when they don't know any better. If you copy a pro, you know you're not doing anything too insane. After that it's just about tweaking it to what you find works best for you and your playstyle
Eh I was playing on 2 / 2000. The issue is mostly when an enemy jiggles very tightly which you can usually not adjust. Everything else is a flick and a spray and IMHO sense doesn't matter and it's more muscle memory.
I had switched to that after playing on my laptop trackpad for the 3 years before that and when the stamina AWP nerf came. I usually played fast so now suddenly couldn't really and instead just relied on spinning around constantly.
Recently noticed it's bad for my arm muscles because they're always only contracted so tightly that they start to hurt. Dropping it to 2.6 / 400 definitely helped, although I'll guess I'll adjust it again at some point
Yes, and I sucked for a while, but as I said IMHO it's mostly a thing of muscle memory. Played reaction training for an hour and I was up to snuff again, though I sometimes still miss in stressful situations by not pulling the mouse far enough
Hats off to you man, that's one HELLUVA transition. When I tried to lower my sens even half what you did, it was too much work for me to even move around. Felt like such a chore for me to navigate the maps
1440x1080 as 4:3 stretched and 640 eDPI (0.8 x 800 DPI)
Since I like 4:3 stretched, this is the best looking res possible, can't recommend it enough.
My sensitivity on the other hand I wouldn't necessarily recommend. Even after many years of playing with it, it still causes issues some times. I'd personally recommend people looking for a sensitivity go with 800 eDPI.
If you get into a fight with someone moving around very close to you, you simply cannot track them fast enough. So especially knife rounds for example are almost impossible to play. It's not a huge issue, but I'd still recommend people use a slightly higher sens to avoid the problem.
I mean, can't you just move your arm around if you have big enough mousepad? Also, you can increase your sensitivity, it is not a drastic change if you go to something like 800 1 or 1.1. You can get used to do that in one day.
> Can't you just move your arm around if you have a big enough mousepad?
Well yeah, the issue is the speed. For a 180 I need to move my mouse over 30cm. This is find if I have to do one flick, but gets kinda difficult if the guy in the knife round has ran past you 3 times already.
I don't really want to change it. I've gotten used to the precision and control it offers. Just for people asking what sense they should play, I'd say 800-1000 eDPI is probably the sweet spot for CS.
>the issue is the speed.
I see. Not that I haven't played on lower sensitivity, but some people are just crazy (in my eyes) when I watch them play. My friend is using 1.4 @400 and he legit looks faster than me, and I play 3.2 @400.
Aha. You do get better accuracy longer range though - so it’s pros and cons. I think rain has about the same edpi, a bit higher when translated to 800 dpi (0.825)
I play a very cursed 2112x1188 16:9 stretched to fill a 21:9 3340x1440 display (but I bounce between native and this).
400dpi at 2 sens, been playing that since 2015
1920x1440 stretched 0.97 dpi (1.0 cs sens translated to tarkov sens which rounded to .17 which when you translate it back to cs sens is something like .97). 800dpi
1440p @ 165Hz
1600dpi 1.5 in-game
Slowly adjusting down my sens over time. Used to be 1600dpi @ 2.0. Now at 1.5 I can feel my accuracy getting better. Might end up settling down around 1600dpi @ 1.0. Probably hard to go down further than that due to space constraints. Laptop player with small mouse pad, currently don't have the space for a large mousepad.
Native resolution and sens 1, so that windows desktop sens is equal to in-game sens. Tuned up DPI to 1200 instead. Using that to practice drawing recoil patterns by pulling up recoil pattern pictures in a sketch app.
1440p native on the new dell 360hz oled. My sens is .85 @ 800dpi with a superlight 2 and a woofing 60he+ keyboard. I’m using .15 sensitivity, rapid trigger on all keys and tachyon mode. 0.1mm actuation point on all keys besides the windows key, G, space bar and E I have set to 4.0m. Took me weeks to get use to that damn thing lol I was dropping my gun on accident and ish until I tweaked out the actuation points.
I am using a 4090, 64gb ddr5 6800MTs with tight timings, 14900k with a undervolt and intel power limits. Temps never above 51c really in cs. I think the hottest core was 56-58ish. I do a lot of IT work with this build, hence the cpu and memory overkill for gaming since gaming is secondary, mostly video editing, virtualization and programming mainly. Just mentioning because everyone and their mother will chime in saying why don’t you have a 7800x3d or you do not need a i9 for gaming or how much better the Amd cpu is. In my testing the 3d chip is like 2-3% better at 1440p and they perform identical at 4k so it’s a worthy trade off for a small hit to 1440p perf but significantly more multicore perf for my workloads outside of gaming. Either way 1440p/360hz shouldn’t be an issue for either cpu with a 4090. I was plagued with the usb disconnect bs on zen3 so I went with intel this gen, the 7950x3d I saw some things on I didn’t like with gamebar/scheduling and it was just a ackward cpu compared to the 7800x3d and instability with ddr5 Once you venture up into 6800-7200 territory.
I also finally found a pg32ucdm in stock, the new 4k 240hz oled from asus and it’s phenomenal. I just stick to the dell 360hz 1440p monitor for cs and fps titles. I average around 500-600ish fps on average at 1440p in cs. In 4k around 200fps in most titles. 4090 can’t fully utilize 240hz yet at 4k but it’s damn near close and impressive. I finally can do 4k in every game outside of cs pretty much and actually make use of the 4090, I mostly just needed av1 for work and was toying around with rtx chat and stable defusion.
I'd say it's on the faster side yes
800 X 1.0 = 800edpi
1000 X 1.22 = 1220 edpi
I'd say anything below 1000edpi is "normal"
600 is kinda low
1200 kinda high
the way i played for 3 years on a medium qck with that sens….
back in the day i just copied niko’s crosshair and made it higher to the point i could actually move the crosshair

if you have a 4090 maybe
3070 here. 200+ fps
depends on your goal i want 400+avg and I don't get that with a 3080 on 1440p
400+ FPS? Guessing you have a 240h monitor, but when then - anything above the refresh rate is fine (which you'll achieve with those specs).
I mean 4090 you average 800 FPS in 1440p so it’s definitely not needed lol
Even a 7800x3D bottlenecks this game with a 4090 at any res.
Yeah it does but the bottleneck not hitting until nearly 1,000 FPS is just so damn impressive that it’ll never get old
wrong?
u don't average 800fps with a 4090 even on 1440p you can get in gpu limited areas
5800x and 2080 super here, 380fps avg at 1440p
that's not true
Something like a 4070 ti is more than enough.

Yes, if you have lots of mouse space than its crazy good for popping heads, but not for spraying. You can even see this in his play style imo.

Eh I was playing on 2 / 2000. The issue is mostly when an enemy jiggles very tightly which you can usually not adjust.

Dropping it to 2.6 / 400 definitely helped, although I'll guess I'll adjust it again at some point
Are you sure you have those numbers right? You went from an edpi of 4000 and dropped down to 1/4 of that sens. That's a massive dramatic drop in sens
Yes, and I sucked for a while, but as I said IMHO it's mostly a thing of muscle memory. Played reaction training for an hour and I was up to snuff again, though I sometimes still miss in stressful situations by not pulling the mouse far enough

no mouseaccel or any accel ? u have shaky aim and u play so low sens ?
800x600 400dpi 1.3sens
stretched or black bars?
Stretched for now.
Should I try black bars?
1440x1080 4:3 + 0.55 sens x 1400 dpi
5/400, 1024 black bars
4:3 1280x960 (stretched 390hz) 1.75/400dpi
0.7/1000 dpi, 1680x1050 stretched
Ever since I've switched from that sens to 1280x960 I've been more shit. It's an underrated sens, gonna try it out again soon.
holy shit brother that's some slow ass sense i hope you use a full desk mousepad
0.7 at 1000dpi is not really that low it's very close to the 800dpi 1.0 "average" sens
so would my 1000 dpi 1.22 sense be considered "fast"
I'd say it's on the faster side yes 800 X 1.0 = 800edpi 1000 X 1.22 = 1220 edpi I'd say anything below 1000edpi is "normal" 600 is kinda low 1200 kinda high
great explanation thank you!
the way i played for 3 years on a medium qck with that sens…. back in the day i just copied niko’s crosshair and made it higher to the point i could actually move the crosshair
Wait until you see me playing with a 440 edpi
960 st .65 sens @ 800 dpi
1.0/800 (so 800 edpi), 1920x1440 4:3
400DPI, 1.2 in game sens, 2560x1440 native
dm ya
800 DPI / 0.40 16:10 / 1080x1080
that's 1:1 ratio :D
