Should You Change Sensitivity After Progress

Changing sensitivity after 100+ hours requires careful consideration. The benefits of a new sensitivity must outweigh the muscle memory reset cost. If your current sensitivity genuinely doesn't suit your playstyle or physical limitations (desk space, arm reach), change might be justified. If you're changing because you're frustrated or think grass is greener, don't change.

If you decide to change sensitivity, make one small adjustment, not a complete overhaul. For example, if playing 1.0 at 400 DPI (400 eDPI), move to 0.9 at 400 DPI (360 eDPI)—only 40 eDPI difference. Incremental changes require less readjustment time than drastic changes. Expect 10-20 hours of readjustment before returning to previous performance levels.

During sensitivity transitions, don't compare yourself to past performance. New sensitivity feels unfamiliar for several hours. After 20-30 hours, you'll develop new muscle memory and performance will stabilize. Some players find slight changes improve aim despite readjustment time—confirm this is true before reverting.

The professional consensus: pick sensitivity carefully, then commit long-term. Constant sensitivity changes are counterproductive. Make sensitivity decisions thoughtfully, understanding they require significant commitment before evaluating results. Only experienced players understand their preferences well enough to change confidently.
