(I don't know if this is the place to discuss aiming but am just hoping to get some answers here)
So for a while now I had based my sensitivity around how many times I can turn 360 degrees by moving my mouse from the right to left of my mousepad (which I heard was called the PSA method).
Gradually I would go to higher sensitivities and dpi over time. Let's say I was able to start at turning 360 degrees 3 times, or 3x360. Overtime I would go to 4x360, 5x360, 8x360, and 10x360. I've been increasing my dpi too, from 1600 to 3200 to 6400 to 12800, with noticeable differences in mouse movement (though I may alternate between 6400 and 12800 dpi because it's the hardest range to find a difference in).
I would count how many times I can turn 360 so I can set the same sensitivity for all fps games, including singleplayer. I also highly preferred using a really fast sensitivity, while using my wrist to aim, as I mainly love fast paced action games (Open Fortress, Quake, Ultrakill, TF2, etc).
However, I recently hit a conundrum. I've been thinking of getting new mousepad, a glass one which I heard was really good for fast tracking and smooth aiming. But it was then I realized that whenever I want to use a new mousepad, the PSA method wouldn't work since all mousepads come in different sizes. Now am trying to figure out to find the perfect sensitivity for myself.
I recently gotten Aimbeast and have 20 hrs in it at the moment. I do really like it, though I don't know if it can help me. The thing is, I want to use a fast sensitivity but my tracking isn't as good on such sensitivity yet, so I only get higher scores whenever I use a lower sensitivity. And I don't like using low sensitivities when I need to turn around and try to hit a meatshot before I get killed by an enemy rocket above me in Open Fortress.
Now am debating what I should do. I really do want to get good at aiming out of sheer love for the first person shooter. Yet even with hundreds of hrs in these games I can't seem to find my own usable sensitivity, let alone how to set the same sensitivity across all games. I guess what am asking is, how do I find my perfect sensitivity based on my above preferences?
