How do I know whether a new sensitivity is actually better?

Direct answer

Record the current effective setting, change one input variable, and compare the same drills plus several normal matches. Keep the new value only when control and consistency improve without creating a new movement or tracking problem.

Decision signalWhat to verifyNext move
Baseline is recordedSave sensitivity, DPI, and relevant input settingsKeep a one-step rollback
Drill result improvesCheck flick, tracking, and micro-correction separatelyAvoid optimizing only one motion
Matches feel inconsistentCollect several comparable sessionsRevert if adaptation cost produces no stable gain

Decision checklist

  • Record current sensitivity, DPI, resolution, and input settings
  • Change only one setting
  • Repeat the same short aim and movement drills
  • Play several normal matches without further adjustment
  • Compare consistency and revert when evidence is mixed

Stop and recheck when

  • Stop changing values during the comparison window
  • Return to baseline when discomfort persists without measurable improvement

Common mistakes

  • Changing sensitivity after every missed shot
  • Comparing different drills and match conditions
  • Optimizing a dramatic flick while losing small corrections
