Anyone else feel like mouse movement / crosshair responsiveness is different in CS2 compared to CS:GO?

Hey everyone,

I’ve spent over 10,000 hours in CS:GO and played at a very high level (was top 100 globally at one point), so I’ve gotten extremely tuned into how the game feels especially when it comes to mouse movement and crosshair responsiveness.

Since switching to CS2, I’ve had this persistent feeling that something is off. It’s hard to put into exact words, but the way the mouse and crosshair movement feels isn’t quite the same as in CS:GO. It’s subtle, but definitely noticeable like there’s a slight delay or disconnect in the input, even though I’m running high FPS and have raw input enabled.

I know a lot of casual players probably wouldn’t pick up on this, but I’m curious:
👉 Has anyone else experienced this?

Is it due to the Source 2 engine? The new subtick system? Different frame pacing or input handling? Even though all my settings (DPI, sensitivity, raw input, etc.) are the same, it still doesn’t feel as “snappy” or precise as CS:GO did.

Would love to hear if others (especially those with high hours or competitive experience) are noticing the same thing, or if you’ve found any tweaks or settings that helped bring back that crisp CS:GO feeling.

Let me know what you think.
