Start by setting your DPI (dots per inch) on your mouse to between 400-800, which is what most pros use. Then, adjust your in-game sensitivity to somewhere between 2.0 and 3.0 for starters. From there, it's all about tweaking little by little. A good method is the 'aiming at a point and strafing' exercise. Keep your crosshair on a fixed point while moving left and right. Adjust your sensitivity until you can keep your aim steady on that point without much effort.

Honestly, there's no 'one size fits all' when it comes to sensitivity. It's super personal. Some folks play low, like 400 DPI with a 1.5 in-game, while others rocket up at 1600 DPI and above. Start middle-range, then adjust up or down based on what feels right. And remember, your mousepad size matters too!

Low and slow wins the race. High sensitivity might seem flashy, but precision aiming at lower sensitivities is where it's at. Try not to change it too often though; muscle memory is key.
