Sensitivity that matches fast tracking

High look sensitivity is the core of this setup: 145 horizontal and 145 vertical. Keeping both equal helps your camera feel consistent when you snap between targets, track strafes, or adjust vertically during mid-range fights.

ADS tuning for control while shooting

Zoom and scoped sensitivity are both set to 25. This gives you a noticeable slowdown when aiming so you can stay on target and correct recoil without feeling like your crosshair is skating past enemies.

Response curve that stays predictable

Linear look response curve keeps your stick input direct and repeatable. If you like building muscle memory for flicks and quick corrections, linear helps because the camera movement scales more evenly with how far you push the stick.

Dead zones and advanced values kept minimal

Look inner dead zone is 5 and movement inner dead zone is 5. Everything else is set to 0, which is meant to keep the input clean and avoid extra layers of acceleration or boosting that can make your aim feel inconsistent.

How to adjust if it feels too fast or too stiff

If your camera feels too twitchy, lower both horizontal and vertical together so you keep the same overall feel. If ADS feels too slow to track close-range movement, raise zoom and scoped in small increments while keeping them matched.

This setup is built for quick camera movement, consistent stick response, and controlled aiming speed when you zoom in. Copy it exactly first, then only tweak in small steps so your muscle memory stays stable.
