I use 2.5 in game @ 400 dpi. Im often told the sens is "way too slow" but it's the sens Ive used since I started playing cs around 2 years ago. It feels comfortable to me and it's what I steadily improved my aim with. Because others suggested I change it, I decided to try 3.125 @ 400, which is still considered relatively slow. Problem is I'm so accustomed to the other sens that I don't want to completely ruin the muscle memory Ive been developing so far. I can see the benefits in a higher sens, but I've improved and learned the fastest at 2.5 @ 400, so I'm hesitant to switch.
Should I keep my old "slow" sens, or switch to the newer one?

use what you're used to
if yr old sens works for you then use it

dont switch senses bc other people think they are good. If you are used to the sens and do good with it, you should stick with it. Sensitivities are based on personal preference :D.

use whatever you're comfortable with, last season i played soldier with 1.3 @ 800, this season i'm playing scout with 1 @ 800

as everyone else said, use what you are comfortable with. obviously there will be the extremes - for example my old sens was 1300dpi with 6 in game sens as that was the default dpi and default sens so i stuck with it for years. After lowering it I did rapidly improve but imo thats only because the sens prior was too high (mind you, some people probably can pound on that sens). Your sens seems completely sensible imo, however one thing I would suggest is adjusting your setup to suit your sensitivity. A lot of my CS friends who play TF2 with me use the same sensitivity that they use in CS and tend to find they run out of mousepad space when they try to rocket jump.

n3stop listening to what worked for other people and do whats comfortable for you
do this
people always tell me im using way too low of a sensitivity since i use 1.47 400 dpi but it doesnt rly matter because it works pretty well for me

while all of these comments are true that you should use what's comfortable for you, it's also true that a slower sens just limits how much you can airstrafe and do other things. i've never seen somebody use a really slow sens and have legitimately good airstrafe movement, because it's honestly not possible, even if you do have a very spacious setup. this doesn't necessarily matter for every player though. as far as aim goes, that's 100% preference and probably can't be too slow for that if you're used to it.

2.5@400 is really fine if you play hitscan classes

fuck wat everyone is saying in the thread
if u go to twitch.tv/yight2 and type !sens in the chatbox U WILL SEE that yight is using a 1.8 in game and 800 dpi setup atm. now THAT IS the sens u are lookin for

I would say projectiles can be pretty difficult with a slow sens but anything hitscan should be absolutely no problem. Just go with what sens makes playing more comfortible for you, its generaly the sens you will be the most consistant at.

Yeah, movement and an easier time w/ projectile classes were the main reason cited as to why i should up my sens. I do main hitscan classes tho so that's a large factor as to why I'm hesitant to switch things up. If I wanted to progress deeper into comp/esea my main concern would be whether or not I'd be hindering myself from improving (at least movement wise) if I were to keep my sens. After seeing what the thread says I'm inclined to stay w/ 2.5 @ 400, but since you have invite exp I wanna know your thoughts on it.

i use 2.67 @ 400 and like corsa said its considerably harder to have great movement but its definitely do-able and if you're comfortable with it it shouldn't restrict you too badly

don't need to change it unless there is a problem, you don't need to change it if you believe there MIGHT be a problem

sens is just a number so i'm sure you can get used to a faster sens. it could take as long as like a month to get used to though since you don't change your sens often. if you want to be a more versatile player in those regards in the long run, i mean honestly, you should probably just make it fast enough to where things like jump maps are relatively bearable. everybody is different though and some people are capable of being comfortable rj'ing/airstrafing with very slow senses

It could be that you would be more comfortable at a faster sensitivity, even though you are used to a slow one currently, in my case I improved a lot straight after eventually lowering my sens by around 5", but I think mainly due to switching aiming with my wrist to arm. You shouldn't switch because people say so, it's only too slow if it's literally too slow in terms of your own preference, if you do you simply have to get used to the new sens which takes a while depending how much you play/practice, I don't believe in the idea of being good with certain sens and switching to a different one and never getting good with it.

Can you do a 180 in 1 swipe? If so then you are fine.

tf2 relies on movement much more than cs.
make your sens slow enough that you can aim consistently and precisely.
make your sens fast enough that you can move, airstrafe, and dodge without it being a workout by the end of your session.
i used to use 1.1@400, then 1.1@800, and now i use 2.2@800. it was definitely harder to move with a slow sens, but i would hit every shot. but sometimes hitting every shot isn't enough, so i had to up my sens to avoid getting shot at.
it's just a precise ratio. you will get comfortable with your (new) sensitivity over time.
