Finding the best Black Ops 6 keyboard and mouse settings is a key ingredient before you load into the action. Whether you’re a Call of Duty newcomer or a veteran of Activision’s shooter series, finding the right settings before taking on the opposition is essential for the best performance. Similar to the controller settings, you’ll find a wealth of different options to choose from. This gives you the opportunity to optimise your settings before you equip something like the XM4 and start topping the scoreboards. Here, we’ve got the best BO6 keyboard and mouse settings to use across all modes.

Best BO6 PC mouse and keyboard settings

The best Black Ops 6 keyboard and mouse settings often come down to personal preference. If you’re looking for a solid baseline to fine-tune, our list of settings below is an excellent place to start.

We’ve settled on a mouse sensitivity of 6.00 as it’s slow enough to maintain your accuracy in the middle of a gunfight but it’s also fast enough for you to turn around quickly and lock onto a target that appears from behind. However, that can vary based on your mousepad surface, so experiment and adjust based on your circumstances.
