Are you diving into the fast-paced world of *Hyper Light Breaker* and finding the default sensitivity settings a bit off? Given the game's emphasis on reaction speed and precise timing, it's crucial to tailor the controls to your playstyle. Unfortunately, as of now, there's no native option within *Hyper Light Breaker* to adjust sensitivity, which is quite an unusual oversight, especially for a game in Early Access. However, there's good news on the horizon. The developers at Heart Machine have actively communicated on Bluesky about their plans to introduce a fix for this issue, along with other performance and accessibility improvements, in an upcoming update.
While waiting for the official update might be the best course of action, if you're eager to start playing and tweak the sensitivity yourself, there are a few workarounds you can explore:
How to Change Sensitivity in Hyper Light Breaker

If you're using a mouse and keyboard, adjusting the sensitivity is straightforward. You can increase the DPI of your mouse either through hardware settings or software, which will effectively boost your in-game sensitivity. Just remember, this change will affect your mouse's performance across your entire system, making it more responsive overall.
For those playing with a controller and using DS4 software, you can adjust the joystick sensitivity directly within the software. These changes will carry over into *Hyper Light Breaker*, allowing you to customize your gameplay experience. You can even configure your right joystick to function as a mouse joystick and adjust its sensitivity accordingly.
A more technical approach is available via the Steam forums. User ErkBirk has detailed a method that involves accessing the game files through the Windows Run Command to manually tweak settings. This method is best suited for those comfortable with a bit of tech tinkering. If this sounds like too much hassle, we recommend waiting for the official patch from Heart Machine.
So, those are the ways you can change sensitivity in *Hyper Light Breaker*. While we await the promised updates, these workarounds can help you enjoy the game with settings that better fit your needs.
