Best Black Ops 6 Controller Settings
Inputs
- Aiming Input Device: Controller
- Button Layout: Default (or Tactical if you want to crouch/slide without taking your thumb off the stick)
- Stick Layout Preset: Default
- Horizontal/Vertical Sensitivity: 1.60
- Flip Bumpers/Triggers: Off (unless you prefer faster bumper inputs)
- Vibration: Off
- Trigger Effect: Off
Pro Tip: Turning off vibration and trigger effects removes distractions and improves reaction time. It also saves your controllerโs battery life.
๏ธ Deadzone Inputs
- Left Stick Min: 1
- Left Stick Max: 99
- Right Stick Min: 1
- Right Stick Max: 99
- Left/Right Trigger: 0
Deadzones determine how much you need to move your sticks before the game responds. Lower is better for responsiveness, but be careful of stick drift. Start low and adjust only if necessary.

Once youโre locked in with the right settings, youโll feel way more in controlโwhether youโre flying around the map with omnimovement or landing crisp shots in high-pressure fights.
Now go frag out.
