Is there some sort of secret? No matter what sensitivity my mouse is set to I seem to get stuck when turning. On a controller I can turn completely in a circle, but not with a mouse unless i'm missing something. I'm willing to accept that I might be an idiot. But seriously how to people do it? It just feels so unatural. Sorry if this is a dumb question, because I think it's a dumb question too.

There's no real secret other than to just play games and get used to it. FPS may or may not be the best choice for this. You could also play other games like strategy or city builders instead.

My sensitivity is so if I drag my mouse straight to either side, I'll do about 7 or 8 full spins by the time I get to the end of my mat.

Thats crazy how much the preferences differ. I do like 2 spins with my big ass mousepad.

I don't like to have to do that swing move that streamers and other hardcore gamers use. I like to use as little arm movement as possible

Its only an issue if you play like 8+ hours every day. For small movements most people use their wrist and that fucks your joints if you do it enough. That is one of the reasons for why pro players do it.

From left to right i do a 180 lol depends what kind of games you play
