This is awesome. Def Gonna try this setting.
What setting does Nice Wigg use? He's also incredible with a controller.
Here's some top players and their sensitivities...
Snip3down = 4:3 classic
Nicewig = 6:4 classic
Daltoosh = 6:4 steady
Genburton = ALC (

The thing I like about Snip3down's is that essentially the games default, with a single increase in the hip aim sensitivity. It's easy to get to grips with, and it's easy to get consistent with. Higher sensitivities like 6:4 classic are definitely doable, but for me, I think the slower sensitivity just helps me be a lot more accurate at mid and long ranges. I think higher sensitives are doable for some players (might be a genetic quality that allows some people more fine motor control) but for me it just introduces a lot of inconsistency.
It's also the case that all of these players are using a controller, but on PC, where they have much higher framerates in Apex than we do on console. I think that makes the higher sensitivities and twitchier control settings, a bit more controllable because you're getting a smaller response time, so you get a more immediate on-screen reaction to your finer inputs. As is, I've tried playing with Genburton's control settings for days on end, and it's pretty much uncontrollable for me. I don't understand how he plays like that, but as I suggest, some players might just be built differently (some people have faster reactions, some people have better motor control etc).
As is though, I think the pro scene for controller players is actually super underdeveloped on Apex. Because there's no pro scene that specifically catered to console or controller players, so it's likely the case that none of these players are even the best controller players out there. Nevertheless, if you look at games like Call of Duty (where the comp scene for controller players is very well developed), almost all of the pro players play either on the 'medium' sensitivity (5-5) or just one notch above that with (6-6) which are both pretty low sensitivities, akin to Apex's 3 and 4 (Apex goes up to 10 but Call of Duty goes to 20 so the scale is a little different).
