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.

I have no idea why this advice suddenly became "lower the sensitivity and just use your whole arm across your whole desk"

Because that's how you get the greatest level of precision.

Not really. Long time ago I was used to a mouse with ~3000 dpi and after a few years I was extremely precise with it. Also faster, obviously.

Yes, really. Speed /= precision.

Did you miss the "extremely precise" part? So no, not really.

No, I didn't miss anything. "Precise" is relative term. Whatever skills you developed increasing precision can be applied and further improved with a lower DPI over a larger area.
