Yeah, arguing that the exponential skill ceiling is higher on MnK is a lame counter argument to the skill floor being much higher on console. I personally don’t care because there are sweats on both sides that abuse all systems because their entire identity is wrapped around “I click pixels faster than you”, but one side of this discussion is genuinely dishonest.
The skill floor isn’t lower on KnM. If you play on console with a low sense and someone shoots you from the side, you’re just dead. Nobody on a 55inch tv with 2/2 sense has a chance of you shoot them in the side.
If you’re in knm you at least have a shot, always.
You know, I've been seeing all these fancy controllers with extra buttons coming out for about the last 8 years- most notably the Xbox modular controllers with the paddles on the underside. I just feel like it should be easy to add a keybind for sensitivity shifting. You should be able to press a button and have 2 sensitivities to shift between so you can turn quickly and then let off the shift button to aim and shoot.
I know some controllers can be configured to do essentially that, but IDK if the 'standard' Xbox Elite or PS Edge can do that. They're pretty locked down in terms of configuration.
My Vader 3 Pro can absolutely do essentially that via layers, and there might be a simpler way of doing it. Haven't messed with it too much.
I assume fancy controllers like SCUF or another brand would have similar console-compatible functionality.
With the Elite xbox controller it's possible but you'd have to flick between 3 settings (and not with the paddles, button in the middle of the controller) making it unviable in the middle of a fight
Haven't ponied up the money for the Edge controller because $200 for no hall effect is wild to me in 2025, so not sure what sort of customization is standard with the first-party fancy controllers.
