Feature request: hold|toggle hotkey to change mouse sensitivity

Would be nice to have an option to change mouse sensitivity between predefined values with a hotkey.

For example switch from 1.0 to 2.5 while holding X. We already have similar mechanics for snipers like Ana’s scope mode.

P.S. Please don’t suggest 3rd party soft or mouse with “special button”.

Thinking about this too. It’s very useful for players with low sens when you need to fight with jumping genji or tracer.

there are mice that have this button. the razor basilisk is one, the corsair m65 is another, these mice have whats called a “sniper” button on the side. that while you hold the button cuts your dpi by a certain value. on top of that, most mice have buttons on the top that you can push that change your dpi. thirdly, the time it would take you to push “x” button for a “hold” value, you can go into settings can change sensitivity for all heroes in the same time frame. also, changing sense mid battle is not a good idea, but in between deaths (where you have 10+ sec of no gameplay, you can go into x characters settings and change sense values.

I already have that implemented in my mouse, a click on a button toggles from 4 different sentivities.
Wouldn’t mind everyone having access to the same tools.

Imho this button unusable during fight, moreover it’s important to have “hold mode” i.e. affect on key_down and return to default values on key_up. As for me, i’m very sensitive for any changes to mouse grip, e.g. when my finger tries to press extra button. I’d rather delegate this action to another hand (via keyboard).
