Sens feels too fast every day

[teal sigil]

For the past few months now I’ve had to gradually lowered and lowered my sens to a ridiculous number as it feels much faster when I get on and play the next day, even after I’ve warmed up.

I had originally hit Radiant on Voltaic on 0.1 800 dpi which is an already ridiculously low sens but the muscles in my arm gradually found it harder to control each sens I was playing with and to keep up with my micro adjustments and my scores on Voltaic I’ve had to lower it drastically all the way to 0.048 800 DPI, which is where i’m at currently. The main problem I encounter is doing harsh flicks and turning around in Valorant but I’m not sure why my mouse control is constantly changing. Any advice would be great

The "fast" feeling you experience is just general inconsistency. The way your feel for things can change on a day-to-day basis. One day you feel more "locked in" on than others. Your mouse control doesn't just "change like that", and especially not to the extreme degree that you are experiencing. You are more than likely blaming issues within your mouse control on your sens, overthink every little nuance a lot, and keep changing to try to compensate for that, which is not how you should tackle the issue. Issues or inconsistencies within your mouse control aren't solved by simply using slower sens.

Your former sens is around 160cm/360 and your current one is around 340cm/360. This one is IMPOSSIBLE to play on and I highly recommend you to go back to 0.1 ASAP and eventually go faster.

To combat your issue - start playing on faster sensitivities and definitely start aimtraining. You have some fundamental weaknesses in your aim if you consider 160cm "too fast" and really need to start to iron out some issues.

I don't want to sound like an expert but this sounds like a mental case of placebo and overthinking every minor detail.

How would I go about getting back to a sens like that when it feels completely uncontrollable than beforehand. Would I higher it in small incraments over the course of a few weeks or just go straight to it and brute force the issue

You want to jump immediately to it and stick to it. Doing it in increments will just waste a lot of time.

You have moved a long long way from your original sens so just accept that things will feel mega awkward, but you currents sens is super impractical and not something you should stick to for any longer than necessary

Appreciate it thanks for the advice
