CS sensitivity finder

This is a tool to help finding the best individual mouse sensitivity setting for CS players. It simplifies and improves the steps used in this method (video). The point of the method is to try to be more objective in comparing different sensitivities.

The tool gives you a command to paste in the game console (~) that allows switching between a pair of mouse sensitivity settings by pressing a key (). You test and compare both settings in-game and then return to the tool and select which setting worked better. The tool then gives you a new command to enter into the console and you repeat the process until you've found the sensitivity that is the most accurate.

Steps

1. Press Start in the tool

   If Flash is supported and the Auto copy option is checked, it will automatically copy the console commands for changing the sensitivity in-game to the clipboard, otherwise you will need to Ctrl+C the commands manually.

   Mouse over the tool options to see a detailed description of each option. The default settings should work in most cases.

2. Go to the game and paste the commands in console

   The console can be enabled in Options → Game Settings → Enable Developer Console and accessed with the Tilde key (~).

   Setting the game to Windowed Fullscreen might be a good idea because it makes using Alt+Tab easier.

3. Test the first sensitivity setting and remember the results

4. Press the switch key () and test the other sensitivity setting

   The switch key can be customized in tool options. You can unbind the key after the test by entering unbind "" in the console.

5. Go to the tool and select the sensitivity that had better results

   The tool will calculate two new sensitivity settings and give you the console command to set them in game.

6. Return to Step 1

   Do this until you've found the sensitivity setting that you think works the best.

Testing

I recommend using the training_aim_csgo_fixed map for testing because it gives you results as numbers, so they're easy to compare, and the tests are closer to actual gameplay. The difficulty and length of testing depends on what you want, but it's important to test both sensitivity settings in the same way. For example, you could use the Fast Aiming test and repeat it at close and far distances for both settings.

To use the training_aim_csgo_fixed map, Subscribe to it from its Workshop page, and then go to Play → Offline With Bots → Workshop and select the map.
