Counter-Strike 2 sensitivity settings directly impact your aim, tracking, and overall performance. Understanding how DPI and in-game sensitivity work together helps you optimize your gameplay for better results.

Understanding eDPI (Effective DPI)

eDPI combines your mouse DPI and in-game sensitivity:

  • eDPI = DPI × in-game sensitivity
  • Example: 800 DPI × 1.5 sensitivity = 1200 eDPI
  • Most pros use eDPI between 800-1600
  • Recommended DPI range: 400-800

Choosing Your Sensitivity

Consider these factors:

  • Mouse space available
  • Hand size and grip style
  • Personal comfort
  • Role (entry fragger vs. sniper)

Tips for Success:

  1. Stick to one sensitivity to build muscle memory
  2. Practice regularly with your chosen settings
  3. Adjust based on comfort, not just pro settings
  4. Consider your specific role and playstyle
  5. Use a large mousepad for consistent movements

Remember, the best sensitivity is personal and depends on your unique playstyle and preferences. Take time to experiment and find what works best for you.
