I am in the supreme/global range and I play with a really high sensitivity (400 dpi/3.2 in game sens) and I know people say that sensitivity is all preference but I was wondering if I am hurting myself in the long run being less precise. I feel like my aim is okay. I tried playing on lower sens and it just feels way too sluggish and harder to play on. I use the QCK mousepad (not +)
I know that some pros like f0rest plays on 3.5 sens f0rest settings but I'm not sure mb I should try to play on the low sens and mb my aim should be batter? what do you think?

It's mostly a personal preference thing. There are definitely values that are too high/too low where it will start to hurt you in the long run, but 400 dpi with 3.2 in game is completely fine (it's not even that high...).

Some pros (Happy, Hiko, you mentioned f0rest) have a higher sensitivity than that, so the sky's the limit in your case. The main point as Emu said, is how well you feel with it.

Do you feel precise with that sens? Do you feel like you're constantly overadjusting or underadjusting when you try to flick/aim? If yes, then you might want to try out other sens. If not, I don't really see the need to change it.

Thats a high sense? 1600 DPI at Sense 6 is what I play with.

When I was younger my wrists started to hurt really bad and I had to change something, my change was the high sense in every game everywhere.
I dont know how well I can play with lower sense anymore, it is obvious, that I do not hit every shot well, but you get used to everything. Forever DMG here.

For me it's the complete opposite. I play with a really low sens (500dpi and 1.0125 ingame sens right now, I change my sens quite often since I have my new mouse, Rival 100) and while I feel my aim can be decent at nearly every range when I'm on point, my biggest problem is when it comes to check multiple corners quickly/try to do some entry fragging. At such a low sens, I have to do some pretty big swipes to even do a 90 degree turn on a puretrak talent which is very wide and I really feel like it's not optimal in many situations.

But as soon as I try to up my sens even the slightest (like 1.12 instead of 1.0125), I feel like I can't even track a head properly anymore, my long range tapping/bursting sucks most of the time and I don't even want to talk about my spray... I'm trying to force myself to get used to a slightly higher sens but even after some time playing DM and trying the new sens in MM a couple of times, I always end up switching back to my original sens since I feel I can't never get used to it. I guess it might take a some time to get used to but I don't know, it's so frustrating that I have a hard keeping forcing myself to use a higher sens. I played for nearly 1000h with my original sens/old mouse (razer deathadder) and I'm still at a shitty rank, I want to get better, I feel like my sens is holding me back a little bit but I don't know, it's really frustrating. Worst thing is, even after upping my sens a bit, my aiming gets worst but I also see little to no difference when it comes to how wide I have to swipe my mouse to do a 90 degree turn.

I don't know if it's just me who doesn't play enough, who doesn't practice my aim enough or it's my new mouse that just feel weird on certain sens but damn, I've never played so badly in cs for years. I've always been inconsistent but since the past couple of weeks, it's the worst I've ever been. I used to nearly always be 1st or 2nd fragger on my team and now I nearly bottom frag every game with a terrible negative K/D.

TeamLiquid has most of the big tournaments in the calendar. ECS is the next, for example. Make sure in your sidebar settings that CSGO is enabled.

If you're looking for more, head over to HLTV.org and check the matches currently live. You can also check the match ticker on Liquipedia CS main page.

That's super high, even for a wrist player.

Thanks, that works for me. Is this a teamliquid only feature? Liquiddota doesn't seem to have the sidebar settings button.

Yes, because LiquidDota is a site focused on Dota. Same as LiquidLegend, LiquidHearth. TeamLiquid.net is still the caryall for everything that's not SC(2) nor has a dedicated website.

The resolution on your screen matters TON when you write what sensitivity you use.
Just writing your sensitivity is to small info.

Resolution is irrelevant because the mouse movement (or mouselook in this case) is calculated in degrees entirely separate from the resolution.

It'd probably be better if you forced yourself to stop moving the mouse so much with your wrist by lowering the sensitivity substantially and making sure your hand is as straight as possible in relation to your forearm.

Well, I cant play "out of the elbow and shoulder. I learned to use my wrist to play. "Forcing myself to stop moving the mouse by my wrist" would mean I had to bound a stick right from my elbow up to my hand. That was not an option.
In the age it started hurting (15 years old) I was quite a good tennis player and played tennis multiple times a week. Additional stress to the elbow from the wrist was not an option.

Minimizing the needed moves (for a 180° i need arround 3cm movement) was the way to get my wrists back in a painless, working state without hurting elbow or shoulder.

Its clear that I lose aim with that compared to low sense play. I am not trying to break out into professional play, I play for fun. And this brings me fun without hurting myself.

People have been able to train themselves by keeping attention to their hand movement and actively thinking about not twisting their wrist. Slowly but surely at the very least.

However as long as you're not experiencing any pain whatsoever then anything that you're otherwise comfortable with is fine. Just stating it's still quite possible.

I did this around 2005/6 but i had way to much time to move from wrist to arm. its unreasonable to expext ppl to learn to swipe for 180's after so long if the just play casually.

2.2 ingame sens with 450DPI. Been that way since I can remember. I have been supreme 2 times. There was a reddit post showing he eDPI(effective DPI) of many pros. I would say as long as you are within or near that range you should be fine.

If your health or condition depends on it then I don't think it's unreasonable at all. You have to do it.

well he has found a way around that already so health isnt the issue he is looking to solve. Can you explain to me how his health situation makes it imperative for him to go through the misery of switching from his current state to arm? I dont see how this is a relevant point.

If your rest is so fucked that you are considering other options its still not a viable solution,

There is plenty of wrist action in arm play. Its mostly 45-60 degree plus moves that require swipes.

I even bolded parts of my post to make it clearer what I meant so I'm not really sure why you're having trouble understanding what I meant. I was speaking hypothetically.

It depends.
