Hyper Light Breaker Sensitivity Adjustments: A Guide

Currently, Hyper Light Breaker lacks native sensitivity settings. This is a known issue being addressed by the developers, Heart Machine, who have publicly committed to a future update resolving this and other performance/accessibility concerns. Waiting for this update is the recommended approach.

However, if you wish to attempt workarounds before the patch arrives, here are a few options:

Mouse and Keyboard Users: The simplest solution is adjusting your mouse DPI. This can be done either through your mouse's hardware settings or via software. Note that this affects your system-wide mouse sensitivity.

Controller Users (DS4): DS4 software allows for joystick sensitivity adjustments. These changes will apply to Hyper Light Breaker. Alternatively, configure your right joystick to emulate a mouse, then adjust sensitivity as described above.

Advanced Steam Method (Not Recommended): A community member on the Steam forums (ErkBirk) has posted a method involving direct file manipulation via the Windows Run Command. This requires technical expertise and carries a risk of unintended consequences; therefore, it's strongly advised to wait for the official patch.

In summary, patience is key. While workarounds exist, the developers' planned update offers the safest and most effective solution for adjusting sensitivity in Hyper Light Breaker.

Hyper Light Breaker is currently available.
