Is transfering sens from windows to game really helpful?

[cchhqq]

I used to use 800 dpi and 1.4 in csgo. And i have tried to sync my windows sens and in-game for over 3 months through using monitor distance 75%. Now i am using 400dpi and 2.85 in game. But i feel like that my warm up time does not really change much. It takes me about same time to practice to achieve best performance for my aim. Should I change back to 800dpi? since higher dpi is smoother.

It's a little bit helpful, but keep in mind the cursor works a bit differently from a crosshair. The crosshair is always at the center - it's the reference point that you use to move to other points on the screen - but the cursor can be anywhere on the screen. If you know anything about perceived sensitivity, the closer you are to the monitor, the faster the sensitivity feels and the further you are from the monitor the slower your sensitivity feels. With a crosshair, you don't have to worry because it stays at the center, but with a cursor, the perceived sensitivity will change depending on where it is on the monitor. This is because different points on the monitor have different distances from your eye.

The other thing you have to consider is the conversion method you are using. At 0% monitor match, you will be matching your sensitivity at the center of the screen, so you will feel more in control of the cursor, but if you use something higher than 0%, like 75%, you are not going to have the best control of the cursor - but you will have better muscle memory. You have to ask yourself whether you prefer the feeling of control at the crosshair/cursor or if you want to maintain as much muscle memory as possible. But keep in mind that nothing will ever be perfect.

In terms of what DPI to use, you should always use higher DPI. Usually 800 DPI is good enough. 1600DPI is probably a little better, and you can go even higher if your mouse can handle it. You can use a lower Windows Pointer Speed to help you more accurately match your DPI to your in-game sensitivity. 3/11 WPS is a good setting to use. Just make sure you are aware that you are using this when doing conversions in the Calculator.

But i am kind of worry for higher dpi, 1 sensitivity change in game will change overall sensitivity a lot. In this kind of situation, it may be harder to get precise match between games. For example, in ow, if I use 1600 dpi and 2 in game. When I transfer the sens to battlefield. Calculator tells me that it is 1%. But 1% in bf actually much faster than 2 in OW.

I want to know whether using higher dpi is really a lot better  than using lower one. or the influence is actually relatively small and will not affect aim precise.

Do you mind explaining how this works? Without any acceleration wouldn't the cursor correspond to the mouse movement speed?

Well with some games they have sensitivity limits, so for those particular games you will have to change the DPI. 1600 DPI should still be low enough to rarely be an issue, but yeah, don't go too high. With Battlefield, you will have to edit the config file rather than the in-game sensitivity. I checked the calculator and your sensitivity works fine for Battlefield if you use the config file instead.

Well, the simple way to put it is that things look bigger the closer they are to you and things look smaller the further they are from you. So if you are moving the mouse, the cursor will look like it is moving much faster on the monitor when up close and much slower when further away.
