How this drill is scored

Targets start at 52px, shrink to 38px and last 1500ms, against the default drill's 58px, 34px and 1300ms. You are rated on average time-to-click, with accuracy and throughput alongside it.

Counter-Strike aim is a stopped first bullet

Counter-Strike hands you a perfectly accurate first shot while you stand still, and takes it back the moment you move. Every other aiming habit in the game follows from that one rule. An AK-47 bullet to the head kills through a helmet at any distance on any map, so a stopped player whose crosshair is already at head height wins the duel before time-to-kill means anything. The M4A4 and the M4A1-S do not, which is why the two sides of the same round aim slightly differently for the same shot.

This drill trains the stopped first bullet and nothing else. It gives you the longest window on the site on purpose, because in Counter-Strike the shot you set up beats the shot you rush, and a drill that rewards rushing would teach the opposite of what the game pays for.

Counter-Strike tuning. A target opens at 52px, closes to 38px, and lives for 1500ms. That is the most patient window here. Rushing costs you accuracy and buys you almost nothing, which is the trade the game makes.

Sensitivity: read it in centimetres, not in the menu number

The number in the Counter-Strike video menu means nothing on its own, because it is multiplied by your mouse DPI. The two figures players actually compare are eDPI, which is DPI multiplied by in-game sensitivity, and cm/360, which is how far the mouse travels to turn all the way round.

Professional Counter-Strike has settled into a narrow band. Almost everybody runs 400 or 800 DPI, with an in-game sensitivity that puts eDPI somewhere between 700 and 1000. At 800 eDPI a full turn takes about 52 cm of mousepad. That is a low sensitivity by the standards of most other shooters, and it is low for a reason: the game asks for small, exact corrections at head height far more often than it asks for large turns, and a low sensitivity makes small corrections cheap.

One more setting belongs here. Leave zoom_sensitivity_ratio_mouse at 1.0. It keeps your scoped AWP sensitivity matched to your unscoped sensitivity in degrees per centimetre, so the same hand movement means the same rotation whether you are scoped or not. Practising two different sensitivities is the fastest way to be mediocre at both.

Set this page to the sensitivity you are about to play at. A warm-up at the wrong sensitivity is worse than no warm-up, because you spend the first rounds unlearning it.

What a flick means in Counter-Strike

Less than you would think. Counter-Strike is a crosshair-placement game: you walk the map with the crosshair already at head height on the angle you are about to clear, so the usual correction when somebody appears is a few degrees, not a swing. Players who flick a long way in Counter-Strike are usually paying for a placement mistake they made two seconds earlier.

The genuine long flick in this game is the AWP snap. One bullet anywhere above the legs ends the round, the rifle is slow to re-chamber, and the scope narrows your view to the point where an off-angle appearance really is a swing. That is one shot per fight at most, which is why the drill here is a single target at a time rather than a stream.

Spray control is a different skill, and this page does not have it

Counter-Strike recoil is deterministic. The AK-47 throws the first ten bullets up and then sideways in the same shape every single time, and controlling it means pulling the mouse along that shape from memory while counter-strafing to keep your feet still. It is pattern memorisation plus footwork.

None of that exists in a browser page with no weapon, no recoil model and no movement keys. This drill covers the part of the fight that happens before recoil starts: finding the head and stopping on it. Learn the spray in the game, on a practice map, against a wall.

Reading your result

Compare your accuracy here against your accuracy on the Valorant tuning. The Valorant page gives you 400ms less per target and a smaller target. If your accuracy is not clearly better on this page, you are firing on arrival rather than on settling, and the extra 400ms is telling you so.

Your number here also includes your monitor's refresh interval, your mouse polling rate and your operating system's input stack. Those are the same for every run on the same machine, so the trend is meaningful even though the absolute value is not a measurement of you alone.

Frequently asked questions

What eDPI should I use for Counter-Strike?

Most professionals sit between 700 and 1000, which is 400 or 800 DPI with a low in-game figure. Pick one value inside that band, then leave it alone for a month. Changing it weekly is what actually holds people back.

Does this drill teach the AK-47 spray pattern?

No. The pattern is a fixed shape you pull from memory while counter-strafing to keep your feet still, and this page has no weapon, no recoil model and no movement keys. Learn it in game, on a practice map, against a wall.

Is this tuning right for CS2 as well as CS:GO?

Yes. CS2 changed the tick model and rewrote the smokes. It did not change the fact that a stopped bullet to the head ends the duel, and that is the whole subject of this page.

Why is the window longer here than on the other two game pages?

Because Counter-Strike pays for patience. Firing on arrival rather than on settling is the most expensive habit in the game, and a drill that rewarded a rushed click would train exactly that.
