Finding your perfect sensitivity in CS:GO is all about experimenting. Start with a medium sensitivity setting (like 2.5 at 400 DPI) and adjust up or down based on how comfortable you feel moving and aiming. Remember, lower sensitivity can improve aiming precision, but too low might make quick movements hard. Also, pros often play at lower sensitivities, so don't be afraid to go lower than you initially think is comfortable!

Use the PSA Method (Perfect Sensitivity Approximation). Shoot a target, strafe left to right keeping your crosshair on that target. Adjust your sens until you can do this comfortably without your crosshair leaving the target. It's a bit of work but seriously helps.

Just copy what the pros use! JK, don't do that. Your best sensitivity is unique to you. It's about finding a balance where you can aim precisely but still turn around fast enough if someone's sneaking up behind you. And don't forget to adjust your DPI (dots per inch) on your mouse software too if it feels too fast or slow.

Sensitivity is overrated, just get good with whatever you set it to.

Honestly, just play a lot. You'll naturally find a sensitivity that works for you through trial and error. And once you find it, stick with it to build muscle memory.
