How do I get used to using a mouse and keyboard instead of a controller? (lemmy.world)

Is there some sort of secret? No matter what sensitivity my mouse is set to I seem to get stuck when turning. On a controller I can turn completely in a circle, but not with a mouse unless i'm missing something. I'm willing to accept that I might be an idiot. But seriously how to people do it? It just feels so unatural. Sorry if this is a dumb question, because I think it's a dumb question too.

  1. Disable mouse acceleration in the OS and in the game
  2. Enable raw input
  3. Decide on a grip for your mouse, your options are claw, palm, or tip. Which type of mouse you have will kind of dictate that choice for you at some level
  4. Download CS GO and an aim practice map
  5. Adjust the sensitivity until you start hitting shots semi-regularly. You should be able to do at least a 360 on a single mouse pad, some people prefer a higher sensitivity. You'll have to decide between using more wrist or more elbow.
  6. Memorize the DPI and in-game sensitivity you used, use it for mouse-sensitivity.com and try playing a very different game from CSGO with those settings.

Odds are the best settings for CSGO will be less sensitive than the best settings for open world RPGs, ultimately it's your call and depends on the games you play, but once you have a setting, stick to it for a few different games, then adjust as needed.
