Problems with different Pc's and unstable aim (Monitor size)

[Pyna]

Hello everyone!

 

I really enjoy playing FPS games, I mainly play Doom but also Overwatch, etc.

 

But unfortunately I have to switch between my dad's and mom's house regularly due to them being divorced, and the problem is that in one house I have a 15.6' screen Laptop and in my other I have a 24' screen Desktop, and this as lead me to having a lot of problems when trying to maintain a stable aim in common shooter games.

 

I have tried to solve this in various ways.

My both computers mouse settings are all default except for the Mouse Acceleration that is turned off, I have the same exact mouse and mouse pad in both computers (Yes, two mice and two pads exactly the same), both computers have 1080p resolution that I use in all my games, the same FOV ingame and a stable similar performance in both computers normally locked at 60fps.

 

I've also measured my mechanical sensitivity (cm/360º) which is around 13cm (~5.1'), that I use in most games. With the same in-game sensitivity in both computers (Doom:3.5, Ow:12) I get practically the same mechanical sensitivity in games on both computers, and my mouse has 800dpi (although when I try to read it with Word and a ruler it's normally around 900-950dpi).

Now the problem is that when I switch between computers after playing in one of them for a while I struggle with aiming a lot. Even though the cm/360º is the same it really does not feel like it is. And it is really frustrating having get used to how a game feels in a different computer now imagine this occurring every week.

 

 

From what I've noticed I'd say that the problem as to do with the different monitor size, and I'd be more than thankful if someone could help me out with this screen size difference and/or what could I do to stabilize my aim with different monitor sizes.

i've played on different screen sizes (e.g. 27" vs 90") and never felt the need to change my sensitivity.

 

since you're struggling on both setups i suggest experimenting with lower sensitivities.

The actual size of the screen shouldnt matter if your using the same resolution / aspect ratio. The only time this gets messy is when going from say 1080p to 1440p, often on the same size screen, 27" for example. The pixel density is much different and obviously things will be out of sync.

 

The calculator does have a conversion for this however.

Well i understand how it doesn't make sense how monitor size would matter but even after matching my cm/360 various times in both setups it still feels uncomfortable. I think it could have to do with how our brain gets used to a certain "spacial orientation" in a certain screen and then when it changes to a size that it's not used to it just messes up our orientation. I've also though about messing with the Fov ingame or put the bigger screen farther away so it matches the size of the smaller one.
