    Automatically adjusting sensitivity on the fly sounds awful…

    Especially in a fps where there’s different sensitivities for different actions.

    Like, if you’re driving a vehicle for a few minutes, when you get out and start aiming is it going to be the same as last time you aimed?

    Hell, some games have specific settings for each character you can select. How will the controller know which character you’re playing and what you want?

      I think it’s more it would know you have sniper for more fine control vs an SMG where you would want loose for fast action.

        Many FPS games already have separate sensitivity settings for aim down sights vs hip fire, or even scoped vs unscoped.

          Scoped sniper you want as slow as possible, scoped smg you would want to be fast for spray and pray.

          Hip/vs scope is a game mechanic to mimic real life.

              It’s a handicap, not a feature, it’s why it can’t be tuned or turned off… it’s why it takes time to aim down the scopes as well…

              This is why it IS a feature on a lot of gaming mouse’s to be able to change the DPI on a fly. Each gun you want specific sensitivities on.

                  Which games offer individual tuning? Most are just the accessibility slider for sensitivity.

                  Take your own advice and also don’t make stuff up?

                    Call of Duty has sensitivity settings for general (hipfire), low zoom, and high zoom. As in a rifle with a scope that has two zoom settings has three different sensitivity settings that can be set in the game’s settings menu.

                    Sensitivity settings are not accessibility settings. Learn what words mean.
