Best sensitivity
Is a personnal best sensitivity a fact or a fairytale?
If yes: how do you know when you have found your perfect sens? I've heard some stuff about strafing while keeping your crosshair at the same spot altho that seems kinda bs to me since enemies move. There must be another way to tell if your sens is to slow or to fast to maximize the amount of headshots
If no: Just keep playing with the same spec and play so much with it, that it becomes your perfect spec ?

imagion it's 5, then do use 1 & 3.. imagion it's three.. then use 3 & 2.. & so on & so on.. :)

Some things I'd say are usable in finding your best sensitivity:
Lowsens:
+ quicker to get used to
+ longrange shooting is abit smoother
- the first period your arm might feel very tired as you to big movements
- you need more space on mousepad/desk
- closerange the enemy moves very fast so tracking is abit harder
(-)when i used lowsens i strafed(my own movement) was alot less fast as lowsens is slower then your body speed
Highsens:
+ shortrange/medium tracking is smooth
+ quick turns are easier(for example a backraper when you have obj, might save you)
+ less space needed to turn
(+) I use highsens and it makes me strafe better as i can keep up with my mouse
- longrange aiming is abit harder as you need to make very small movement
- people say this is harder to get used, mather of 'talent'
Best example why highsens > lowsens:
You see alot then when you strafe alot to the right or left(like run a little circle around a lowsenser) he will stop aiming at 90 degrees because he ran out of mousepad, has to pick up his mouse, and start aiming all over.
I can do 460 degrees on my mousepad. left to right(28 cm mousepad)
Lowsens+mouseaccel is good but the closerange issue stays a problem as a enemy only walks to right for a shortperiod, mouseaccel kicks in for a longer turn. and the player moves at same speed. mouseaccel keeps going faster so ull go to the enemy then over him as ur still getting more accel ;).
but i can make a quick 180 turn aswell?
so why is turning hard with a low sens if you get use to it?
dunno if thats not low but i think so
That's quite slow sens imo :)
ps. 2.5 sens atm since it owns :)
sensitivity 5 since the first day.
And to the haters: Stop crying, many people actually are in the same situation as me. I'm not planning on mindless taking over a cfg from someone, im just asking HOW you can see once u have found your perfect sens.
im lowskilled you dont have to listen to what i say but youre question doesnt make SENS actually :p since no answer here on crossfire is realy going to help you either
get used to it

Ive worked for years to pick the sens that suits me but very often when I play it feels too slow or too fast. I'd prefer using bit faster sens but ET recoil prevents me from using it because Im not able to track as well.
In my oppinion optimal sens would be 30-40cm / 360 but it depends if you aim with your wrist or whole arm. Im trying to aim with both which makes me an unstable aimer because for example if Im rly calm (drunk or just got laid or smt:D) my sens feels rly slow. However if I got stress or I have needs (want to smoke or such) my sens is fast and I overtrack especially in duels.
Well now im calm (drunk) and trying to advice you, but im failing because of substances that fuck up your thoughts. Anyways my point is pick a sens and stick with it!
Im going to mcdonalds now since im hungry...
if you really want a statistic, anywhere between 180degrees to 720degrees over45cm can be used well, and some (e.g. xylos i think?) use even higher and aim like beasts, so ye, practice
Bozar!
Also cl_mousaccel 0.016 can help with lowsens
1. what kind of mousemovement u have ( move only ur hand or play tennis with whole arm )
2. mouse that u use
3. expierience in tracking (means not aim) more the way if u move ur mouse how exact u move it
and at least try to start with sens 2 for example if its to slow / fast change it in steps from 3 days couse u need a while to say its ok or not , if u think ur good in tracking and have a stable acc like the most players ur on the right way to find UR perfect sens
