Hyper Light Breaker: Adjusting Sensitivity Settings

Author : Riley Mar 13,2025

Want to fine-tune your controls in Hyper Light Breaker? With its fast-paced action, precise control is key. Unfortunately, there's currently no in-game sensitivity setting. This is a known issue that the developers, Heart Machine, are actively addressing. They've announced plans to implement a fix soon, along with other performance and accessibility improvements. This means waiting for an update is likely the best option for a proper solution.

However, if you can't wait, there are workarounds:

Workarounds for Adjusting Sensitivity

Mouse and Keyboard: The simplest method is adjusting your mouse DPI. Increase your DPI either through your mouse's hardware settings or using software. This effectively boosts sensitivity, but remember this affects your entire system's mouse sensitivity.

Controller (DS4): If using a DualShock 4 controller, you can modify the joystick sensitivity within DS4 software. These changes will apply to Hyper Light Breaker. Alternatively, configure your right joystick to function as a mouse, then adjust the mouse sensitivity as described above.

Advanced Steam Method: For a more technical solution, consult this Steam forum post by user ErkBirk. This method involves directly modifying game files, which may not be suitable for all users. We strongly recommend waiting for the official patch unless you're comfortable with this level of technical modification.

That's how to (currently) adjust sensitivity in Hyper Light Breaker. We recommend patience for the official update, but these workarounds offer immediate, albeit less ideal, solutions.

Hyper Light Breaker is available now.
