For those of you with a gaming mouse – what is your in game sensitivity and mouse dpi setting? My mouse is at 2500 dpi in game sens. is at 19% (default is 25% I think) Raw mouse input, no pointer enhancement/precision. I wanted to ask this question because when I got a new mousepad it was huge, and I was wondering why. I looked at competitive CS:GO matches and saw everyone is swiping their mouse pretty far. I cover less than half of my mousepad Then I read online that competitive players have their mice at 400-800 dpi for precise aim. Also, even though my dpi is comfortable for me, I do overshoot my opponent sometimes and I do wish to have a more precise aim. Should I stick to what’s more comfortable or should I train myself to a lower dpi for best competitive play for Battlefield? ---

I’m not very good but I use 11% in game sens and 800 DPI on foot. I use 1450 DPI or more in vehicles…whatever spins the turret as fast as the game allows. I use a mouse with shift on the fly DPI…G700s PS…There is a 450 DPI gear on the mouse too…it’s handy sometimes. ---

3200 dpi 0 sensitivity in-game. Gives me about 9.8 inches of movement for a 360 degree rotation. In other words 2.45 inches of mouse movement from the center of my screen to the left or right to the edge of my screen on my 24 inch screen. Horizontal inches is 21. So 10.5 inches either way. Most engagements happen from a quarter of the screen from center. So total mouse movement for me to engage left or right of center is 1.22 inches. Using a G-502 logitech mouse. DPI isn’t releveant. You want how far is comfortable for you to move your mouse in inches. You can achieve this in combination with any DPI and in-game sensitivity. As for my settings above for distance at 800 DPI you would have to adjust the sensitivity in PROFSAVE\_profile located in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Battlefield 4\settings with this GstInput.MouseSensitivity 0.015015 Again the amount of inches for a 360 degree of movement is what matters and what is comfortable for you. ---

> [@Mikex2112](#): > > 1000 DPI > 1% in-game sensitivity What is the number in your PROFSAVE\_profile? The in-game sensitivity doesn’t corralte to a percentange number in the file. Example 1% .01 is not the same decimal number in said file above. ---

> [@Rekkrkvyek](#): > > woah, everyone has low dpi > > do you guys think that low dpi is better? Should I try adjusting myself to it? Read what i posted. Find out how many inches is good for you and feel comfortable with. Go to [http://www.mouse-sensitivity.com](http://www.mouse-sensitivity.com) Go to distance enter it in the calculator. Your dpi and it will spit out a setting to use in what i posted earlier. ---

The way I look at it,If someone is behind you,you’re dead.No need for being able to do a 360 in 2 inches. So what I do,to compensate for low sens, is I pay close attention to my minimap…So far it works pretty good for me. ---

Gotcha its whats your comfortable with. Bit extreme but it works for you. I wouldnt recommend anything larger that 11 inches for a 360. ---

2500 DPI, GstInput.MouseSensitivity 0.028500 How many inches is a 360 turn? I know that I don’t have to lift my mouse to do a 360 turn, and when I need to precisely aim, I press my mouse down onto the pad in order to slow down the mouse from moving ---

I know that I don’t have to lift my mouse to do a 360 turn, and when I need to precisely aim, I press my mouse down onto the pad in order to slow down the mouse from moving From the info you have me it is 1.88 inches. That is way sensitive. Try this number in gstinput. 0.001400
