It's generally considered that lower is better. (I usually start off quite high and gradually decrease the settings over a few weeks/months untill i'm happy with the result - at 3.5 right now)
Mouse acceleration also makes as much a difference (if not more) than sensitivity. Try messing around with both unitll you find something that works for you (as long as you're comfotable with the settings, and having fun, it's all good
)
What mouse you use, and your windows settings, also make quite a differnece. A sensitivity of 3 on one persons machine could be the same as a sensitivity of 6 on someone elses - and can't really be compared (unless they have exactly the same mouse, mouse mat, game and OS settings etc).

1.8 sensitivity running with cl_updaterate 101 - intellimouse 4.0
Yeah, when it set it i wanted to be able to play basically without moving my wrist across the mouse mat at all (same in windows actually, my mouse speed is 8). Its quite hard to aim sometimes which can be annoying, especially over distances but when the sensitivity is low, when me and some guy are shooting at each other and i have to keep lifting the mouse or moving it in uncomfortable positions its even more annoying.frusion said:
I didnt really think about changing the accelleration settings. Ill try it, but i wish you could do it inside cs and not have to change in windows every time you play and again when you stop.
Hmmm i just checked and i dont even have an option to set acceleration. I used to though (probably when i had w98). Will probably have to install different mouse software or something then. Typical microsoft.. has a setting for scroll wheel acceleration but not for the pointer

6 in windows, 16 in game.
MX510 and Icemat 2

I beg to differ.
Some people play with high/low sensitivity because they have different styles. Playing with a low sensitivity may make you more accurate, but if someone gets the jump on you from behind, you're toast.

I use 2.2
I used to use around 8, until i saw this video of this AMAZING CS player who plays with 1.8, he was the best i had ever seen, he made it look so easy, and he was playing in the top CPL matches and stuff. So after that i tried lower and lower, and now i use 2.2 and i saw a MAJOR boost in my gameplay, i thought it would mean spinning my nouse past the pad like 7 times to look right, but its really not that at all. Try lower, it owns

That's what the Steelpad is for, can do a 180 turn with a flick even on low sensitivity.

who gives a shit about being pro? i play cs for fun. i dont have the same delusions as you that im some day gonna be a star lol.
as for your second comment people play with whatever sensitivity they like theres no special sensitivity that makes you good. i use 1.37 not because i want to be l33t but because its comfortable to me.
and before you all go out and buy a steelpad cuz it has magical powers i dont use any pad at all just the surface of my desk and i can spin 180 just fine. someone pulls a knife right behind me i turn around and shoot em in the head before they even have a chance to swing the blade.
