How sensitive do you like it?

    When playing video games, how high do you have the sensitivity of the controls?

    On PC, I usually have it moved right up to the max, especially for FPS, and around the top for console gaming.

    It just feels so much more natural!

    Kind of Varies from Game to Game. Like a Max-10-Sensitivity on Destiny would only be like a 6 or 7 on CoD.

    I like it snappy but not twitchy if that makes sense. Let's say about 7/10

    would also vary massively between KB&M and Controller

    That was my first instinct when I read the thread title :o

    For mouse, pretty much the same on every game. From one side of the mouse mat to the other should do a 360° turn on the camera although I'm really not sure if I'll stick with that sensitivity... I know it can take a long time before people find their sweet spot. On gamepad... I don't remember too much since any games that requires precise controls I'd use KB/M but I do remember having my sensitivity to max for Metal Gear Online 2 which I had to play with pad seeing as it was PS3 exclusive.

    Low and slow for precision.

    Between low and medium, on Black Ops 2 I used a 4 sensitivity for example.

    It's my version of clickbait.

    Any time I allow someone touch my computer, they always take ages to find the cursor because it's moving so fast, that's for the layman who doesn't game, I think it's probably about medium in real life

    I used to use a low one on consoles, but since moving to PC I use a medium on the mouse, but if I'm playing a console now I have it very high, like 7 or 8.

    Depends on the games too, I'd have Dark Souls and Bloodborne maxed and shooters a little lower on consoles, Deus Ex and Dishonored are fairly low

    I feel sick on anything past a 3 :o

    I've found I usually have to turn the default sensitivity on a mouse's settings up and then use my own mouse's onboard dpi changes to do what I need in game if the sensitivity needs adjusting on the fly (eg lower sens for zoomed in stuff, max sens for Battlefield vehicle controls etc).

    For controllers, I'm usually midway between medium and high.
