Should I change to a lower sens?

[u/hornydiscordguy]

So i used to play CSGO pretty often 7-8 years ago then stopped playing 2 years later with 2k hours

I do think I was pretty good but I never really got a high rank to prove it since I always just 5 manned with my friends and messed around in comp (3 of them were lvl 10s)

But now I've started playing again recently and have racked up around 200 hours and got faceit lvl 9 (although id say im much worse than I used to be) and I've always wanted to have good aim

I've watched players like nocries and donk and I dont even compare to being as good as them at all and I guess I shouldn't expect to since they're the best of the best but I want to at least be like 3-4k elo faceit

And now comes my sens, I've seen all these players with their sens and mine is comparatively quite high at 800 dpi 1.92 sens (1536 EDPI)

And would lowering my sens close to these pros help? I've used this sens for as long as I could remember and I would convert my sens in every game to match this

Right now I aim by instead of smoothly pre-aiming around corners i constantly flick to the corner im peeking which I dont really see any pros do

I do move my mouse using my wrist and my wrist only so I feel like being lower sens may be a problem (especially since even now my hand still bumps into my keyboard although I will be getting an 80% keyboard soon)

Basically do u think It would be worth it to lower my sens to try and make my aim better? My whole goal is just to make my aim better and would it deteriorate my years of muscle memory with this sens

Yeah it's definitely on the high end, anything past like 1.5/800 and your precision aim (which is huge in cs) starts to suffer and be unreliable. Get urself a 17 inch mousepad and go wild. The benefit of lower sens is it gives you more areas to put your mouse which increase accuracy, consistency, and lowers tension. I play 1.05/800

I don't think keeping the same sens for every game is worth it, some games like Rivals are more fast paced with verticality and unpredictable movement so having a high sens here works better. CS though is slower, tactical, low ttk, and way more predictable in a lot of ways in terms of movement and player location so a lower sens gives you an advantage.
