How To Adjust Controller Sensitivity

Most of the players complain about the controller’s sensitivity and that it is too low even when set to 100. We have covered you if you are also facing a similar issue.

First of all, you need to unplug your mouse when you have decided to play using the controller. Always remember that increasing sensitivity to 100 will not work unless you also take care of the other settings. 

Response Curves

You need to add linear response curves in case you are playing using a programmable controller. This will be a simple setting that you need to adjust to having great precision in your setting. In short, setting your response curves linear is the way to go. 

Acceleration

Players want precise and slower movements, which is done by adding acceleration and a slider to show how much precision you want and when you want it. This will help you aim and pick up stuff with precise and slow movements and a quick boost in case of turning quickly.
