Changing your CS2 sensitivity settings can have a massive impact on your form on the server. It can even make the difference between entire ranks for many players! The same can be said of other CS2 settings, but arguably none are as important as sensitivity.

We’ve got you covered. To help you climb up the CS2 ranks, we’re showing you all the best sensitivity settings that you can use to climb the Premier leaderboards!

How To Change CS2 Sensitivity Settings

Changing your CS2 sensitivity settings is easy. Head to your Settings by pressing the cog at the top-left corner of your client (where you also change your CS2 crosshair settings), then head to the Keyboard / Mouse tab. Here, you should be under Keyboard & Mouse Settings by default. Then it’s just a case of entering the right value under the Mouse Sensitivity setting.

You should also be aware of your mouse DPI settings. This affects how fast your mouse moves, so will have an effect on your CS2 settings, too. In our opinion, the best mouse DPI for CS2 is 400, widely adopted by pros like s1mple. By multiplying your DPI by your CS2 sensitivity, you get your eDPI. This is a number that removes hardware from the situation, giving you an objective idea of your true sensitivity.

It’s a very common misconception that when it comes to CS2 sensitivity settings, higher is better. In fact, the opposite is true. With good in-game crosshair placement, you shouldn’t need to make fast flicks to kill your opponents. The real truth is that with low CS2 sensitivity, you can be far more precise with your shots. In an ideal world, perfect crosshair placement would mean you wouldn’t need to move at all!

We’re going to show you some CS2 settings directly from the pro scene. That way, you can figure out what the best CS2 players are using to keep their form on the server!

AWPer CS2 Sensitivity

These are the sensitivity settings of some of CS2’s top AWPers:

ZywOo: DPI: 400 Sensitivity: 2 eDPI: 800
broky: DPI: 400 Sensitivity: 1.9 eDPI: 760
s1mple: DPI: 400 Sensitivity: 3.09 eDPI: 1236
m0NESY: DPI: 400 Sensitivity: 2 eDPI: 800

Rifler CS2 Sensitivity

For comparison, here are the CS2 sensitivity settings for some of the world’s best riflers:

NiKo: DPI: 400 Sensitivity: 1.35 eDPI: 540
ropz: DPI: 400 Sensitivity: 1.77 eDPI: 708
Twistzz: DPI: 400 Sensitivity: 1.59 eDPI: 636
frozen: DPI: 400 Sensitivity: 1.6 eDPI: 640

It’s interesting to see that on average, the eDPI of AWPers is higher than riflers. If you’re a fan of the Big Green, this is definitely worth considering for your own CS2 settings.

One key thing to remember with your CS2 sensitivity settings is that they’re totally personal. We can show you what CS2 settings pros use, but above all, you have to feel comfortable. If you’re sat at 3.5 sensitivity, jumping straight down to 1.2 is never going to feel good. Incremental change is the way forward here. Change in increments of around 0.5, until you’re exactly where you want to be with your CS2 sens settings.
