Whats a good sens for genji?

General Discussion
1

I use 800dpi 6 sens
what about you?

2

As long as you can comfortably 180 I think you’re good

3

I’m ok 1000dpi and about 5. Roughly the same for Widow and my cree, cree might be higher about 6 or 6.5.

… Moira at 1000/1200 lol

Probably best to just use what your current McCree sens is and then switch to McCree

probably a lot higher because they need to look vertically up and down a lot quickly and when they swiftstrike they need to be able to flick quickly around especially when they ult as they string several swiftstrikes together.

i’ve seen high level genjis have something like 20 sense or something ridiculous.

i mean sure you’ll be more accurate with your left clicks with lower sense, however i don’t think you’ll have to be that accurate with them if you just use decent crosshair placement.

I’ve never understood dpi. What does it even represent?
(I’m on console)

Something really high that you can 180 very fast since Genji’s slash hitbox is about the size of truck.

I think 6 @ 800 dpi is the most common, if you want to be able to flick while also having good tracking.

I’m no pro genji but I have the most success keeping my sensitivity the same for all heroes. It’s 4.5k edpi right now. Shaky cam genji is overrated

Dpi is like mouse sensitivity instead of in game sensitivity. Dpi = dots per inch, here’s an example: your dpi is set to 1000, which means you’ll move 1000 pixels/dots per every inch you move your mouse. If you want a more in depth explanation involving how it relates to in game sensitivity, look up eDPI

I’m at 1000 and 5 atm. I was playing him at 6 and neither feels too bad I guess.
