Quake Live is the benchmark for fast arena shooters, all rocket jumps and rail flicks. A quicker sensitivity around 18cm to 28cm per 360 keeps up with its speed.
Quake Live is a first-person shooter video game by id Software. It is an updated version of Quake III Arena that was originally designed as a free-to-play game launched via a web browser plug-in. On September 17, 2014, the game was re-launched as a standalone title on Steam
Quake Live is the benchmark for fast arena shooters, all rocket jumps and rail flicks. A quicker sensitivity around 18cm to 28cm per 360 keeps up with its speed.
Use the calculator above. Enter the game you currently play, your in-game sensitivity and your DPI, then choose Quake Live. It keeps your cm/360 the same, so the converted sensitivity feels identical to what you already aim with.
Most players use 400 or 800 DPI and set their in-game sensitivity from there. The DPI itself matters less than your cm/360, the distance you move the mouse for a full turn. Pick 800, set your Quake Live sensitivity to land in the range above, and leave it alone.
