    "Muscle menory" is not a myth, it's a misnomer.
    It should be called "synaptic reinforcement". If you play with the exact same sensitivity for years, it becomes extremely intuitive to aim and very hard to switch to anything else and regain consistency.
    Your brain makes more synapses to strengthen connections and pathways that you favor by training.

      I think both sides have valid arguments. With precision aim you fine-tune what you see on screen which doesn't require you to instinctively know your mouse sens as much as flicking or navigating when blinded for example. I'd go so far as to bet there's a clear difference in how well "muscle memory" translates across different sensitivities between those scenarios.

      Yes, I agree with most of the video, but muscle memory is a factor but you can adapt.
      If you change 0.5 to 0.75 your movement will not be the same.
      In fact we did some similar tests during my study by changing the amplitude of pilot inputs on an aircraft. The pilots needed some time to adapt but unless you went extreme, they adapted quickly.

    playing with sensitivity of 1 and DPI of 500, my 360 in CM is 83.13. I also have a giant mousepad and it feels natural to me to play with such a low sensitivity. the part at 1:33 and foward about "window to hit target" is something i've been talking to friends about where the lower your sensitivity is the bigger the target window on your mouse movement. Nice to see it in a video.

    • @Bassalicious
      @Bassalicious Рік тому +10

      I'd say it totally depends on your play style and personal preference. Entry fraggers need to clear lots of angles very quickly whereas support players hold a single angle more often.
      Then again there's pro players as living evidence out there that doesn't always have to be the case either.
      But there definitely are thresholds where the pros outweigh the cons in both directions. Infinite precision is just as unnecessary as infinite mobility.
      I've played from 0.85/800dpi (61cm/360°) up to 2/1200dpi (17/360°) (might've been higher still don't remember exactly) and found a happy medium at 1.15/800dpi (45cm/360°) which I'm playing for years now.

    Long story short, low sens is good for precision, and it is as simple as that, for pro plays you don't need to do 360 flick shots often since everyone is responsible for 1 small area to hold, and if someone is in your side or behind you, he will headshot you before you turn no matter what sens you use since that he is a pro player too.

    Basically lower sens is always better because it gives you much more room for error, but for some games having the sens too low is not viable due to how much you need to look around.
    Arena shooters like overwatch require being able to flick across larger angles so the sens needs to be higher to do this quickly. CS is all about holding angles or peeking around corners checking one spot at a time, so most of the time you only need about ~60 degrees of movement at most (usually much less 15-30).

This is also why its so fun to watch someone like M0nesy and so boring to watch someone like Tenz aim.

    That close to/far from the crosshair is something I also noticed. In a different, unrelated game I noticed that changing FOV would also mean the edge of the screen is further out. So a flick on someone who is just in view is different depending on the FOV. On high FOV the flick would need a greater movement.
    And in general I wouldn't say there is any "perfect sens", just a range that is advantageous for a game. In CS that range just happen to be much lower. If there was just one true sens, everyone would use that. But even the pros are spread across that "pro range"

    @VIRAJDX Рік тому +25

    High sensitivity leads to high speed accuracy while low sensitivity leads to comparitively lower speed but higher accuracy with precision. Thus low sensitivity leads to more consistency.
    I had a question btw. I used to palm grip at 400dpi 1.6 in game sens. Now, I am switching to claw to include fingers in my aiming coz I reached a plateau in palm grip. Should I keep my sensitivity to 1.6 or switch to around 2.2 which feels more comfortable to control now that I changed my grip?

    • @n8mo
      @n8mo Рік тому +3

      I’ve had a nearly identical set of sensitivities over the years.
      Played 1.6 sens with palm, and I play 2.1 sens now with a hybrid grip.
      Personally, I found it took about a week or so to get used to the new sensitivity. If you’re willing to have slightly worse aim for a week or so while you acclimatize I think it’s worth it in the long run.

Low sensitivity is for usually riflers that want consistency, it is as simple as that. Everybody gets better on a certain sensitivity the more they use it, pushing for higher sensitivities will always lose out on consistency compared to low but with more potential in certain scenarios.

    The thing you said about muscle memory only makes sense because you are playing cs and not a real fps like quake.

    As a long time CS2 player and unbeaten world champ since 1956, I can say that this is a good video to bring the topic closer to casuals.
    But the easiest explanation is that the mouse sensitivity is just the scale at which the image which you see on the monitor is projected onto the mouse pad.
    You indicated this with the distance between two green parallel lines, which determine the room of error.

"Many" is quite an overstatement imo. 90cm/360 is about as rare as that, but many hover around the 80-85cm/360. The issue with extremely low sens is that often in LAN settings you don't have the same, consistent, large, mousepad. I see quite a few pros go up in sens as they move from t2 to t1 to compensate for the inconsistent conditions. Also not to mention low sens has its downsides.

    Using a low sensitivity, you have to move your entire arm across the mouse pad several time when you do a 180-degree turn in game. I would have a sore arm even before a match ends. How do you cope with this?

      Either your mousepad is too small or the sens it too low. This is why cm/360 is a useful measurement.

      Not trying to be an ass, but if moving a mouse around your desk causes arm soreness you should probably consider doing some physical activity to strengthen your body. That's not a good sign.

      @@sallad2645 I'm not a gym bro by any means, and most of my day is at a desk, but even I don't have a problem playing with arm movement.
      But for CS in particular, you don't constantly turn around like a human spinbot. The small movement prosicion is where it's at.

      Some people are just arm player and some are just wrist players. Arm Players dont get sore arms after playing. Its just that people are different and we are already used to on how we do things.

    I am currently struggling hard with this. I used to be on 1700DPI and 3 ingame sens. I know, incredibly high. I improved a lot when i went down to 1500 DPI and 1.5 ingame send, but that is still pretty high and i really cant go lower, it just FEELS wrong...

      keep at it. give your brain a proper month or 2 to adapt to it. i'm at 1800 DPI and 0.6 sens and at long range it's still difficult for me to consistently get on a head and tap it. my hand cramps up fast from doing it as well. so i'll have to go lower, i fear i'll run out of mousepad space lol

      You dont have a problem. I used to play at 1200DPI and 3 in game sens. I was pressured by anyone else because i feel like im the only one that is abnormal/crazy. I put it down to 1000 and 1.7. Gotten used to it and now im rocking a 1500dpi and 1.5sens. This is the lowest i can go.
      This is the answer. Youre a Wrist Player. Just like me, i only use my palm and wrist to move around. Im not everyone else who's an Arm player who flicks their whole arm across their mousepad.

      @@daghetto101 that’s such nonsense. Give it enough time and even you can change your playstyle. I used to play games with insanely high sensitivity and as time has gone on i set it lower and lower to be more accurate.

      You probably have a lot of time playing on simple office mouse ;) if you want smooth aim keep your mouse sens low, and play with in game sens, but still it depends, some players have reverse config, very low in game sens, and high dpi. Never tried it my self so dunno how ot feels in game, i always played on 800/1200 dpi, now switched to 400, i had weird feeling first 1/2 days, and was a bottom frag s coulple of times, but now it feels really good on 400 dpi, and my KDA is alright.
