How to Change Sensitivity in Hyper Light Breaker

by Skylar Mar 22,2025

Want to fine-tune your controls in *Hyper Light Breaker*? With its fast-paced action, precise control is key. Unfortunately, currently there's no in-game sensitivity setting. This is a known issue the developers, Heart Machine, are actively addressing. They've announced plans to add this feature, along with other performance and accessibility improvements, in a future update.

While waiting for the official update, there are workarounds. For mouse and keyboard users, adjusting your mouse DPI (either through hardware settings or software) provides a practical solution, though this affects your overall system mouse sensitivity.

Controller users (especially those using DS4) can explore sensitivity adjustments within the DS4 software. This altered sensitivity will then apply to *Hyper Light Breaker*. Alternatively, configuring your right joystick as a mouse allows for DPI adjustments as described above.

For a more advanced (and potentially risky) method, check out this helpful Steam forum post by user ErkBirk. This approach involves directly modifying game files, so proceed with caution. This method is best left to experienced users comfortable navigating system files.

In short, patience is advised. The official update will provide a clean and straightforward solution. Until then, these workarounds offer some degree of customization.

Hyper Light Breaker is available now.
