Adjusting Sensitivity Settings in Hyper Light Breaker: A Guide

If you're diving into *Hyper Light Breaker*, a game where your reaction speed and timing are key to success, you'll want to customize your controls to match your playstyle. Unfortunately, there's currently no in-game option to adjust sensitivity in *Hyper Light Breaker*. This is an unusual omission, especially for a title entering Early Access, but rest assured, the developers at Heart Machine are on it. They've shared on Bluesky that they're actively working on a fix for this, along with other performance and accessibility improvements. It's wise to hold off until this update rolls out, as it's likely to address several other issues as well. While we haven't released our full review yet, it's clear that *Hyper Light Breaker* will benefit from these tweaks.

However, if you're eager to play now and need to adjust sensitivity, here are some workarounds:

For those using a mouse and keyboard, you're in luck. Simply increase your mouse's DPI, either through hardware settings or software adjustments. This will effectively boost your in-game sensitivity, though remember it'll affect your cursor speed system-wide, making your mouse movements snappier across your PC.

If you're a controller user and employing DS4 software, you can tweak joystick sensitivity within the software itself. These adjustments will carry over to *Hyper Light Breaker*, allowing you to tailor your controls. You can even configure your right joystick to mimic a mouse and adjust its sensitivity accordingly.

For the tech-savvy, the Steam forums offer another solution. ErkBirk has detailed a method involving the Windows Run Command to directly edit game files. This approach isn't for everyone due to its complexity, which is another reason to consider waiting for the official update. You can find the detailed instructions by following the hyperlink to ErkBirk's community post.

That's how you can currently adjust sensitivity in *Hyper Light Breaker*. Keep an eye out for the upcoming update from Heart Machine that promises to address this and other issues.

*Hyper Light Breaker is available now.*
