m_pitch Command Help & Examples

If you want to fine tune your mouse settings to customize your gameplay experience, the m_pitch command can help. Especially designed to adjust the sensitivity of the Y axis, you can adapt your look sensitivity when looking up or down according to your preferences.

On this page, you are going to learn what the m_pitch command is, how it works, how to input it via console and examples on how to implement it, so you can customize your mouse settings to perfection

What is the m_pitch Command?

As we mentioned in the introduction, this command has been created to adjust the sensitivity of your Y axis, which can be a game changer depending on the mouse you have. To make learning easier and faster for you, we have divided this section into different subsections, so you can discover all about this command.

Syntax of the m_pitch Command

To use this command, you need to enter “m_pitch” plus the value you want to assign to the sensitivity of your Y axis. Hence, it’s a traditional command that accepts arguments, as it provides you practically infinite ways for adjusting the Y axis according to your likes and goals.

Therefore, inputting the command as it is via console won’t have any effect, as it needs a value to adjust your Y axis sensitivity. Below, you will find more information about the default value of this command, and the different options at your disposal..

Default Value of the m_pitch Command

The default value for this command is 0.022, and hence it’s your starting point for modifying your look sensitivity when looking up and down. For instance, if you want to make your Y axis much more sensible, you can make it 2 times faster, as a result you’d have to input the value 0.044.

So, adjusting the value from the default will affect how sensitive or fast the Y axis responds. Increasing the value makes it more sensitive or faster, while decreasing it makes it less sensitive or slower. For instance, if you want to slow down the Y axis, you’d input a value like 0.011, which is lower than the default value for CS:GO (CS2).

If you want to check real examples on how you can adapt the value of the command, at the end of this page you will find 12 real examples on how to implement m_pitch in CS:GO and CS2, so you can learn how to use it perfectly.

Purpose of the m_pitch Command

The command was created to allow players to adjust the Y axis sensitivity when playing for fun or practice on private server or offline (LAN) matches. It might be necessary for some players depending on their screen size and mouse, as a slower or faster Y axis might massively improve the gameplay experience.

Complement to the m_yaw Command

While m_pitch allows you to adjust the speed of the Y axis, the m_yaw command allows you to adjust the X axis sensitivity. Therefore, they complement each other, and you can use them both in matches for fun and practice on private server or offline matches.

You have the flexibility to experiment with the values of both commands, and they function similarly. Increasing the value will heighten sensitivity, making movements faster, while decreasing it will reduce sensitivity, resulting in slower movements, for the X and Y axis respectively.

Belongs to the Group of Cheat Protected Codes

Unfortunately, you cannot use the m_pitch command without restrictions, as it’s only available in games where the sv_cheats command has been set to 1. Therefore, in the vast majority of cases, you can only use it on private servers or offline matches.

Because it requires you to activate cheat codes, the tutorial in the next section will also cover how to use the sv_cheats command via console, so you can use the m_pitch command without restrictions.

Available in CS:GO and CS2

You can use the m_pitch command in CS:GO and CS2 without restrictions. As long as you activate the sv_cheats command by setting it to “1”, you can use it on CS:GO and CS2 matches. Furthermore, you can also use it for different game modes, allowing you to customize your Y axis sensitivity as you please.

How to Use the m_pitch Command

Here is how you can use the m_pitch command to adjust your look sensitivity when looking up or down in the game:

• Press the  “~” key to launch the developer console

• Decide what value you will assign to the command

• Input the command m_pitch “X”

• Press enter

• Your Y axis sensitivity will be altered accordingly and instantly

All you need to do is to replace “X” for your preferred sensitivity value. If you want to make it x2 times more sensible, you’d need to set it up to 0.044, which would result in the following command: m_pitch 0.044.

Nonetheless, it’s important to mention this command won’t work unless you have already set sv_cheats to 1. If you haven’t do so yet, here’s how you can accomplish it:

• Press the  “~” to launch the developer console

• Input the command sv_cheats 1

• Press enter

• Now you can use m_pitch and other cheat commands without restrictions

Remember, as we have mentioned in the previous section, you can only use this command if sv_cheats is activated, and hence you will need admin rights. Because this command is cheat-protected, and hence it can only be used on private servers and offline matches for fun and practice.

Now that it’s clear how you can use the m_pitch command, and activate sv_cheats in case it’s necessary, below you will find a series of examples on how to implement this command to adjust your look sensitivity.

Examples on How to Use the m_pitch Command

Here you have practical examples on how to use the m_pitch command, so you can start implementing it in your matches to hit the sweet spots in the Y axis.

Make the Y Axis Sensitivity 10% Faster

This is a good starting point for adjusting the Y axis sensitivity. A 10% increase may not drastically alter the gameplay, but it’s enough to feel the difference. If you want to use this value, you need to multiply the default value by 1.10, which would result in the following command: m_pitch 0.0242. Simply input it in, press enter and it will take effect immediately.

Make the Y Axis Sensitivity 25% Faster

If a 10% increase is not enough for you, you can go ahead and increase it by 25%. Simply multiply the default value by 1.25, which would result in the following command: m_pitch 0.0275. Upon inputting it and pressing enter, your look sensitivity when looking up and down will become noticeably faster, yet nothing too extreme.

Make the Y Axis Sensitivity 50% Faster

If you want to make the Y axis sensitivity 50% faster, you need to multiply the default value by 1.50, which would result in the following command: m_pitch 0.033. You can simply copy and paste it into the console and then press enter and it will take effect immediately. This is when you will start noticing a massive change in your look sensitivity when looking up and down.

Make the Y Axis Sensitivity 100% Faster

If you would like to massively increase the sensitivity of the Y axis, you can go ahead and double down on the default value of the command. To make it 100% faster, simply multiply 0.022 by 2, which would result in the following command: m_pitch 0.044. Now your Y axis will be much more sensible, allowing you to look up or down in record time.

Make the Y Axis Sensitivity 200% Faster

If you want to start taking your Y axis sensitivity to the extreme, be it because you actually need a much faster look sensitivity, or simply because you want to play around with it, you can try increasing the default value of the command by 200%. In this case, you’d need to multiply the default value by 3, which would result in the following command: m_pitch 0.066.

Make the Y Axis Sensitivity 300% Faster

Be aware that using this setting will make the game practically impossible to play, as your Y axis sensitivity will be way too high. However, for the sake of experimenting with the value of this command, you can make it 300% faster by multiplying the default value by 4, which would result in the following command: m_pitch 0.088.

Make the Y Axis Sensitivity 10% Slower

If you feel like the default value for Y axis sensitivity is too much, you can start reducing it slightly, hence we recommend you to make it 10% slower. You’d need to multiply the default value by 0.90, which would result in the following command: m_pitch 0.0198.

Make the Y Axis Sensitivity 25% Slower

If a 10% decrease is not enough, you can go ahead and make your Y axis 25% slower. All you need to do is to multiply the default value of m_pitch by 0.75, which would result in the following command: m_pitch 0.0165. This will be enough to notice a significant difference, as the transition when looking up or down will be longer.

Make the Y Axis Sensitivity 50% Slower

If you want to make the Y axis sensitivity even slower, you can slash it by 50%. All you need to do is to multiply the default value by 0.50, which would result in the following command: m_pitch 0.011. Simply input it via console and your look sensitivity will become considerably slower.

Make the Y Axis Sensitivity 75% Slower

If you want to play around with the value of the command, this time making it very slow, you can try reducing the look sensitivity by 75%. You only need to multiply the default value of the command by 0.25, which would result in the following command: m_pitch 0.0055. Just input it in via console and it will take effect immediately.

Make the Y Axis Sensitivity 90% Slower

Using this setting will make the game practically impossible to play, as it will take forever when looking up or down. However, if you want to try this for the sake of playing around with the command, you’d need to multiply the default value by 0.10, which would result in the following command: m_pitch 0.0022.

Reset the m_pitch Command Back to Default

If you have altered the value of the command, and you want to reset it back to default, all you need to do is to enter the command like this: m_pitch 0.022. Upon entering it via console, the look sensitivity will return back to normal.
