I run Control type A and have my controls like this: Lean Toggle - On ADS Toggle - Off Sprint Toggle - On Steady Aim Toggle - On Vibration - Off Adaptive Triggers - Off Aim Assist - Low Controller Sensitivty X Axis - 100% Controller Sensitivty Y Axis - 100% Controller Sensitivty When ADS X Axis - 42% Controller Sensitivty When ADS Y Axis - 42% Controller Scoped Sensitivty - 42% Acceleration X Axis - 100% Acceleration Y Axis - 100% Map Cursor Deadzone - 60% Movement Deadzone - 14% Look Deadzone -12% I also turn Motion Blur Off and Play with a DualSense Edge controller which I set up like this: Left Stick - Quick Curve Right Stick - Precise Curve with a +3 curve adjustment Under Button R - R1 for Steady Aim Under Button L - Left on the D-pad to Ping I also set the Triggers to there Shortest travel so they act like hair triggers which can give you the difference in a fire fight. With everything like this I find both the controller and settings work hand in hand so I can get targets from a distance but also can clear a Bunker or building as in close quaters I tend to hip fire unless the target is at medium range. I say take this settings as a baseline go into the practice range and adjust till you get what feels good for yourself mate. Answer from Degsy87 on reddit.com

So, whether you're gaming or watching media on your PlayStation console, here are some things to consider, along with detailed steps to make things run more smoothly and safely. A common complaint among users is that the PS5's DualSense controller doesn't hold a charge very long when unplugged.

r/TheFinalsAcademy on Reddit: [PS5] Controller settings improvement
March 22, 2025 -

Hello contestants, I would like to ask your advice for changing my controller settings.

I play on PS5 with a standard controller and I am looking to tweak my settings to have quicker but stable aim. I generally play Medium these days, and usually use an iron sights Pike or Famas red dot/coyote. I do also play light but don't main that anymore. Light I would use most weapons as I quite like them all.

I don't want to be able to 360 in 0.05s or anything, but I also don't want to just change random settings bit by bit and it take forever, or change loads and not know which particular setting isn't working.

Could anybody advise on specific settings to have a look at that will help with:

Target tracking at close to medium range? (You know when the enemy is side stepping back and forth)

And...

Moving from aiming at the body to aiming at the head and limit risk of whiffing?

Feel free to eli5 why you recommend the particular setting, I like to understand exactly what it does and why it works.

Thank you kindly.

Honestly, its time to learn gyro aim. It’s weird getting used to it at first but its so worth it. Right now im only using gyro for ADS while I learn but I’m working on going full gyro with flick stick. It’s the only way to compete with PC players.

I had this same question a month ago, and it was difficult to find an answer. I ended up going into the practice range, and drastically changed each visual setting one by one, to determine what it was changing. Once I got the feel of things, I practiced shooting the medium target dummies at the far end of the practice map from 10m, then 20m. This helped further understand the sensitivity settings. I found that 90-94 FOV was nice with AKM or FCAR. 95+ for M60/mini, melee, or shotguns. I prefer a 290 horizontal look speed, 190 vertical look speed, 95-105 Zoom Sensitivity Multiplier. I then practice trying to eliminate the moving medium target dummy from 10-20m with just over half a mag (AKM/FCAR). Once I can do that comfortably, I’ll try these settings on TDM, to see where I need to further edit my settings. The heat of battle will show way more than the range can. I might be crazy, but I find the need to make little settings changes for different maps, character classes, and weapon types. If you don’t have stick drift yet, enjoy it. I have to keep a little aiming deadzone on, though it makes fine-tune changes in mid-range battles a little tougher while fighting recoil and dash lights. I’ll have to look into the gyro as mentioned in other comments.

I’m a longtime milsim enjoyer but on PS5 currently (in between PCs, I guess you could say). I love the game, but with the joystick aiming and frame dips when you aim down a 4X20 optic, I’m struggling against human players, especially with the US Army 5.56 requiring so many direct hits to kill. What are your recommended settings? Is there a good guide out there? Is the 4X20 worth using over irons/red dots on the M16?

Hey Playstation Raiders,

I'm just curious if you changed anything in the controller settings?
I switched to Linear and tweaked a ittle bit on the sensitivity, but nothing else. Truth is I don't really know what slider does what exactly.

I guess I'm looking for tips, or your settings to give it a try :)

Here are my settings:
