Glad there are people who have the same mind on this, back on Halo and especially GoW I'd always rock a high sensitivity setting because I'm able to control it.
Once you control it, you're able to react extremely quickly to situations that unfold immediately whether it be unexpected or not.

@Violynne
bought one before and the right bumper broke within 6 months of usage; Never had that happen on a regular standard controller so no thanks... never again.

You will find when your game is locked at 30fps, moving the camera particularly fast can be quite jarring and visibly gross looking.

I came here expecting a thread asking the master race to be more sensitive to we console plebs’ lack of nearly all QoL features.

Alright, here's the deal:

The playstation doesn't have really many good options for tweaking sensitivity, unless you buy a custom controller with increased sensitivity support specifically. There may be another good option, because I know you can connect a USB mouse and keyboard and have it work with some games by default on PS4, but PS4 isn't my main console, so I wouldn't be able to discuss more without revealing my own ignorance. To connect another type of controller, like an xbox controller, you'll still need an adapter of some sort to my knowledge.

Gamepad mode on PC has a few software options - I remember I used pinnacle game profiler back in the day - but the sensitivity is by default a bit slower due to the conversion from a mouse control to gamepad control, so requires tweaking a bit more if sensitivity is an issue for this (although I'm not sure if everyone has this issue, or if it's just for me due to some weird mouse acceleration setting or something).

On xbox one, they have software with the xbox app that can tweak your controller settings, with extra tweakable settings for the xbox one elite controller. Xbox elite controllers do have some notable problems - like weak bumpers which break after some time in most elite controllers, and thumbsticks that can lose magnetic connectivity to the controller if you take them off and put them back on often - but generally they are a nice advantage to have, with the added customization and quality in other areas. The elite controller has more accurate joysticks - they can make more minute adjustments - and has the more durable and smoother rings around the joysticks than a regular controller, so after repeated use it will still be very smooth to rotate your joystick.

This is not to say that it will increase your sensitivity.

With the customization app on your xbox (or PC) you can adjust the configuration of your joysticks, meaning you can adjust how far you have to push it to achieve a desired turn speed. It's somewhat difficult to explain, but think of it this way: normally, you move your joystick 1mm and you turn 1mm per second on the screen (this isn't accurate but ignore that for the example), and you move your joystick 10mm and you turn 10mm per second on the screen. You can adjust that so that when you move the joystick 1mm it makes you turn 10mm per second on the screen immediately, but when you move the stick 10mm you still only turn 10mm per second on the screen (this achieves a similar effect to WASD keys on a keyboard). You could also adjust it so that moving the joystick anywhere from 1-9mm moves your character 1-2mm per second on the screen, but the 9th through 10th mm of joystick movement transitions you from 2-10mm/s on the screen, achieving a very easy "RP walk" in the game, for example. The point is, you can fine tune how your controller behaves, but it will not change the max sensitivity you can reach, so you still won't be able to get those amazing 360 noscopes on ESO just from the elite controller or the xbox controller app.

There are other helpful customizations in the app, but I won't go over those here because that's not what this thread is about.

One possible solution, if you are on xbox and have a PC handy, is to stream your xbox one through your PC, which allows you to use any controller on your PC in place of your xbox one controller on your xbox. Via this method, you can download some software (such as the aforementioned pinnacle game profiler) to possibly tweak other parts of your controller, or even do custom button remapping or other things the xbox controller app can do. Now like I said, I have not used pinnacle for a while, so I highly recommend googling controller customization software and trying some different things out, seeing what works best for you and has all the tweaking options you are looking for.

EDIT: Let me add that there is a sensitivity slider in the settings menu. I figured anyone asking for increased sensitivity would have already been able to find that within ten seconds of asking the question, and maxed it out, but just to be safe, try that before anything else. Outside of that slider, there aren't really any solutions within ESO. It would be nice to have a little bit higher setting on the slider, but as stands, the above options are really the only route to go to fulfill the need.

You cannot increase the sensitivity on a elite controller so bringing it up in the first place was just random.

Let's keep on topic i.e increasing sensitivity for console/game-pad okay

Okay, now you're just being ignorant.

The Elite controller does improve sensitivity (movement, or improvements with button mapping), once you configure it.

It's clear to me you've never actually used the Elite controller, or set it up correctly to see this for yourself.

I just wasted my time trying to help you, so I'll leave you with this: developers have no way to reduce latency from your controller.

If you're going to ask them to do the impossible, try for something like "Fix every Bethesda game".

Quite the contrary you're the one being ignorant especially when you make a false statement as in "trying to help me" when there is nothing to help. Read my post instead of trying to read the title, I asked for increased sensitivity this is strictly a turning your FoV/character question and not a controller issue.

I did read your post.

Do you understand what you wrote? Here, let me remind you:

target turns corner thus I spin around back on them.

This action is caused by the right stick on the controller. This has nothing to do with the game, genius.

The controller you're using has parts which have built-in latency you or any developer can't remove. The movement of a controller stick is half a millisecond (or longer, if your controller has wear).

This is in every game you play.

You barged your way into my thread making these statements about the over priced garbage elite controller that only felt "okay" because of it's weighty feel IMO. I didn't ask about your suggestion I simply asked about having a higher sensitivity option and gave an example as to why I would want it yet you bring your anecdotal evidence here trying to represent it as fact.

Donald Trump, you have competition.

Thanks for joining my thread you're free to stop commenting on it now.

Gladly. I can't compete with this level of stupid.

@Violynne
Mate just stop you seriously do not understand what this thread is about, my goodness whatever happen to you this morning I hope doesn't happen to me. Go outside and get some fresh air bb.
