To begin with i will give a little back story. Ive been messing with apex setups made by myself or others for over two years. Many have given up on thw game as its mechanics are clearly very poor. The problems occur on both the xbox and ps4 version of overwatch but from multiple people who have both platforms the aim feels a bit less tight and the aim assist is stronger and more irritating on ps4.
This config will be using off sync but if you play on xbox default will also be a very solid choice.
This config has provided me with the best mkb experience ive ever had on console overwatch. The key factors are as follows:
3200dpi
Imo the dpi range of 3000-4500 offers the smoothest and most pc like mouse experience.
1000hz polling
1000hz helps cut through aim assist and makes mouse movements a lot more responsive.
Off sync
Provides the most responsive input and the least aim assist irritation.
Simulate analogue behaviour
The higher the value generally the more smooth and useful the aim assist is, however the higher the value the more intrusive the aim assist becomes. In my new config i have different SAB values for each look mechanic e.g scopes. In the future i may also have a projectile config with a different SAB value. If i do update or add to the config i will update this thread.
ImportantOff sync reports your mouse movements to the ps4 1000 times a second which as a far larger amount that the second highest sync default which reports 120 times a second to the ps4. This means and mouse issues are amplified for example stutter caused my mousepad infidelities, atutter caused by the mouse not holding a consistant polling rate or mouse setup issues. There are a few solutions the first is to lower the polling rate which i would not recommend doing as it will increase aim assist and reduce mouse responsiveness, you can add smoothing which at high values makes your inputs feel strange and finally you can make sure you mouse is tracking as accurately as possible.
Mouse tracking performance
To check your mouse tracking performance you can do this either on pc or console but pc is better as inputs are truely 1 to 1. There is a simple fact and thatis that lift off distance of your mouse has a big impact on both your gameplay and your sensors ability to track.
If your lift off distance is too high you my notice unwanted mouse movements while repositioning the mouse. To test for this try doing 180 turns then repositioning. If you see cursor movement while your mouse is lifted you probably want a lower lift off setting.
If your lift off distance is too low for your setup meaning your mouse, its sensor, how the sensor is implimented in the mouse and your mousepad. You may experience suboptimal tracking in the form of non smooth aim, stutter or pixel skipping.
Imo the best thing you can do is find the highest possible lift off distance you can use with your mouse without experiencing any unwanted mouse movements. Most of the mice i have tried seem to track better on a higher lod setting but naturally having too high of a lod can be a hinderance in fps games.
I have a zowie s1 and i previously had a zowie fk2. Zowie mice have a very low lod range and mice seem to be shipped on a random base setting. My fk2 was on low lod and i had adapted to it but the tracking was clearly inferior. I would recommend medium for zowie at a minimum from personal experience and i use high as i have hyperglides as well. Simply measing with lod settings meant that instead of using either 5 smoothing on off sync and aiming feeling a bit jittery or 7 and aiming feeling smooth but robotic i can now use off sync with only 3 smoothing and it feels super responsibe and smooth.
