How do I get used to using a mouse and keyboard instead of a controller? (lemmy.world)

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 are 3 way you can be better at aiming with a mouse:

Disable acceleration (enhanced pointer precision)

Lower your sensitivity

Use a lighter mouse

Past that, it's practice, practice and more practice. If you only recently moved over to M+KB, you haven't developed the muscle memory. Start with games that just require you to click on things, like Civ games or Stardew Valley, and games that don't require rapid movements, like Portal.
