Pro Controller Settings in Apex Legends: 4-3 Linear vs Classic Response Curves

Why 4-3 Linear with None deadzone is the undisputed standard among ALGS controller pros. Stick drift compensation, rotational aim assist, and micro-tracking.

The Universal Reign of 4-3 Linear in ALGS

If you inspect the controller settings of top ALGS competitors (Genburten, ImperialHal, Verhulst), virtually all of them have abandoned the traditional "Classic" response curve in favor of 4-3 Linear with None deadzone.

4-3 Linear Configuration Setup

  • Look Sensitivity: 4 (Default / High)
  • ADS Sensitivity: 3 (Standard / Precise)
  • Response Curve: Linear (1:1 direct thumbstick to angular camera mapping)
  • Look Deadzone: None (Accepts slight stick drift to eliminate input deadzone)
  • Target Compensation: ON (Default)

Why Linear Unlocks Micro-Tracking

The "Classic" curve applies an exponential ramp-up: slight thumb movements produce almost zero camera movement until reaching a threshold. The Linear curve removes this dampening layer completely, allowing players to make instant micro-corrections during recoil smoothing at mid-range.
