I usually adapt to a specific sensitivity setting after playing a game. But when I switch to another one, it feels completely different and the adjustment is just a slider. Wouldn’t it be better if there was a scale to fine-tune sensitivity so you can get the right feel in every game and use it consistently?
Due to the lack of a standardized measurement, several variables complicate the process. Different mouse sensors, tracking surfaces, screen sizes and resolutions all play a role. Companies might develop their own standards, while competing games could influence user preferences. It would also be more streamlined for newcomers, though this isn't a major concern.
I generally keep the slider at its minimum and allow the mouse DPI to handle everything else (a fixed standard value).

Check the site for a variety of well-known games. Update your initial preferences in the first game, then pick the new title you want to play and it will adjust accordingly. If you see a slider without numbers, try this simple trick: use a detachable marker to draw a line on your mouse and mousepad, match the marks, spin 360 degrees in the first game, and place another mark where the line ends in your settings file. In your second game, tweak the sensitivity until you achieve a smooth 360-degree movement from one mark to the next in your mousepad settings. It might sound unusual, but it actually functions.
